Quickstart Guide
Quickly establish a connection via websocket and start receiving streaming data and analytics.
All subscriptions go through a single endpoint URL :
wss://pro.cryptostats.dev:8443/?options=:options
This endpoint is SSL encrypted and supported by a high capacity, low-latency C++ websocket implementation to reduce latency whilst maintaining security.
You can add your API key to gain access to your subscribed channels:
Python
JavaScript
Java
from websocket import create_connection
import urllib
options = {
api_key: [YOUR_API_KEY],
action: 'subscribe',
channels: [YOUR_CHANNELS]
}
options_url = urllib.parse.urlencode(options)
url = f'wss://pro.cryptostats.dev:8443/?options={options_url}'
ws = create_connection(url)
const options = {
api_key: [YOUR_API_KEY],
action: 'subscribe',
channels: [YOUR CHANNELS]
}
const options_URL = encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(options))
const url = `wss://pro.cryptostats.dev:8443/?options=${options_URL}`
const ws = new WebSocket(url)
Please see implementation here: https://github.com/Cryptostats/Cryptostats-Java
Channel subscriptions can be passed as part of the options parameters or can be sent separately after connecting to the WebSocket.
ws.send({action: 'subscribe', channel: [YOUR_CHANNEL]})
Below is a working implementation subscribing to normalized trades on the BTC-PERPETUAL instrument at deribit:
Python
Node.js
Java
# pip install websocket-client
# pip install ujson
import websocket
import ujson as json
from urllib.parse import quote
subscription = {
'action': 'subscribe',
'channel': ["deribit.BTC-PERPETUAL.trade"],
}
def on_open(msg):
print(f"Opened: {msg}")
def on_message(_, msg):
print(f"Message: {msg}")
def on_error(_, msg):
print(f"Error: {msg}")
def on_close(msg):
print(f"Closed: {msg}")
result = quote(json.dumps(subscription))
ws = websocket.WebSocketApp(f'wss://pro.cryptostats.dev:8443?options={result}',
on_open=on_open,
on_message=on_message,
on_error=on_error,
on_close=on_close)
"""

def send(action, channel):
ws.send(json.dumps({'action': action, 'channel': [channel]}))
def subscribe(channel):

ws.run_forever()
const WebSocket = require('ws');

});
ws.on('close', function incoming(data) {
console.log("Close")
console.log(data);

// Helper Functions for subscribing to new channels
async function send(action, channel){
const message = {
action: action,
channel: [channel]
}
ws.send(JSON.stringify(message))
}
async function subscribe(channel){
send("subscribe", channel)
}
async function unsubscribe(channel){
send("unsubsribe", channel)
}
