Quick Start

Stream real-time predictions

Here is a quick way to start streaming market predictions using python or node.js. Make sure to instal the requirements and get your API keys before running the sample.

Python

pip install websocket-client
pip install rel

import websocket, rel, hmac, base64, hashlib, json, time, sys

api_key = "add your api key here"
api_secret = 'add your api secret key here'

def on_message(ws, message):
    print(message)

def on_error(ws, error):
    print(error)

def on_close(ws, close_status_code, close_msg):
    print("websocket closed")

def on_open(ws):
    now = int(time.time()*1000)
    message = {
        "message_type": "subscribe",
        "predictions": [
            {
                "type": "price_movement",
                "exchange_id": "dydx",
                "symbol": "BTC-USD"
            }
        ],
        "heartbeat": True,
        "timestamp": now,
        "api_key": api_key
    }
    message_to_sign = message['message_type'] + message['api_key'] + str(message['timestamp'])
    message['signature'] = sign(api_secret, message_to_sign)
    ws.send(json.dumps(message))

def sign(secret, message):
    signature = hmac.new(base64.b64decode(secret), message.encode('utf-8'), digestmod=hashlib.sha512).digest()
    signature_b64 = base64.b64encode(signature).decode()
    return signature_b64

if __name__ == "__main__":
    ws = websocket.WebSocketApp("wss://ap-northeast-1.gravitan.ai/socket/v1",
                                on_open=on_open,
                                on_message=on_message,
                                on_error=on_error,
                                on_close=on_close)

    ws.run_forever(dispatcher=rel, reconnect=5)
    rel.signal(2, rel.abort)
    rel.dispatch()

Node

npm install ws

const WebSocket = require('ws');

const apiKey = 'your api key here';
const privateKey = 'your private api key here';

const ws = new WebSocket('wss://ap-northeast-1.gravitan.ai/socket/v1');
ws.on('open', function open() {
    let now = Date.now();
    let message = {
        message_type: "subscribe",
        "predictions": [
            {
                "prediction_type": "price_movement",
                "exchange_id": "dydx",
                "symbol": "BTC-USD"
            }
        ],
        "heartbeat": True,
        timestamp: now,
        api_key: apiKey
    }
    message_to_sign = message.message_type + message.api_key + message.timestamp
    const signature = signMessage(privateKey, message_to_sign);
    message.signature = signature;
    ws.send(JSON.stringify(message));
});

ws.on('message', function incoming(data) {
    console.log(data);
});

ws.on('close', function close() {
    console.log('disconnected');
});

ws.on('error', function error(err) {
    console.error('erro happed ', err);
});

function signMessage(secret, message) {
    var key = Buffer.from(secret, 'base64');
    var hmac = crypto.createHmac('sha512', key);
    var signature = hmac.update(message).digest('base64');
    return signature;
}

How to get your API keys

Your API requests are authenticated using an API key. Any request that does not include a valid API key will return an error message.

For now, contact us at [email protected] to get an API key and set up an account. A self-service protal will be made available in the near future.
