Gather Bitcoin Data

Package for gathering data from Bitcoin Markets including preparation for insertion into a mongodb database. As there aren't any databases available for depths from markets, this module allows to create such a database.

Warning: This module is a work in progress and might not work as advertised!

Usage Example

const BtcDataGatherer = require('gatherbtcdata');

let gatherer = new BtcDataGatherer();
launchRuntime();

function launchRuntime(){
    gatherer.connectDatabase();
    //for conversionrates go get a api key at openexchangerates.org and enter into config.json
    //(https://openexchangerates.org/api/latest.json?app_id=somekeyforyourapp")
    //doConversionRates();//do conversionRates initially to allow proper standardization
    //setInterval(doConversionRates, 86400000); //get and set conversionRates every 24hrs
    runtime();
    setInterval(runtime, 2000); //gathering data every 2 seconds
}

//gets and sets conversionRates 
//this is needed for successful standardization of incoming data
function doConversionRates() {
    gatherer.getConversionRates()
        .then(conversionRates => {
                gatherer.setConversionRates(conversionRates);
            }
        );
}

function runtime(){
    let timestamp = Date.now();
    gatherer.queueTimestamp(timestamp); //for successful standardization queueing timestamps is required for proper 
                                        //order in returned data arrays.
    gatherer.getEverything(timestamp) //gets all the data from all markets and their specified methods f.e. depth
    .then(marketInfo => {
        let marketInfoArray = gatherer.standardizeMarketInfo(marketInfo);
        gatherer.insertArray(marketInfoArray); //inserting array into mongodb database
    })
}
