| 2 | + |
| 3 | +An (unofficial) Node.js API client for the [Poloniex][poloniex] cryptocurrency exchange. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +The client supports both public (unauthenticated) and private (authenticated) calls to the [Poloniex API][poloniex-api]. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +For private calls, the user secret is never exposed to other parts of the program or over the Web. The user key is sent as a header to the API, along with a signed request. |

| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Setting up the client |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Either install via NPM: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | + npm install poloniex |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +or clone the repo and install dependencies: |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + git clone https://github.com/premasagar/poloniex.git |
| 26 | + cd poloniex |
| 27 | + npm install |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +In your script, require the module: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + var Poloniex = require('poloniex'); |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Create a new instance of the client. If only public API calls are needed, then no API key or secret is required: |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + var poloniex = new Poloniex(); |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +To use Poloniex's trading API, [your API key and secret][poloniex-keys] must be provided: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + var poloniex = new Poloniex('API_KEY', 'API_SECRET'); |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +## Temporary certificate workaround |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Currently, the API server's certficate is rejected. This is presumably a temporary issue and has been reported to Poloniex. The line below is a temporary workaround. First try using the client without this line. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + Poloniex.STRICT_SSL = false; |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +## Making API calls |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +All [Poloniex API][poloniex-api] methods are supported (with some name changes to avoid naming collisions). All methods require a callback function. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +The callback is passed two arguments: |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +1. An error object, or `null` if the API request was successful |
| 57 | +2. A data object, the response from the API |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +For the most up-to-date API documentation, see [poloniex.com/api][poloniex-api]. |
| 60 | + |
