lakebtc_nodejs

library0.1.8jsnpmunverified

A basic Node.js REST API client for the LakeBTC cryptocurrency exchange. Version 0.1.8 provides access to public market data (ticker, order book, trades) and authenticated account/trading endpoints. It uses a callback-based interface with minimal abstraction. The package is feature-complete for the LakeBTC API but is in maintenance mode with no recent updates since 2014. Key differentiator: simple wrapper around the exchange's API with no external HTTP dependencies beyond Node.js built-in modules.

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe package name is 'lakebtc_nodejs' on npm but the module is required as 'lakebtc'.

fix

Use `require('lakebtc')` not `require('lakebtc_nodejs')`.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaAll callbacks follow Node.js error-first convention, but errors from the HTTP layer may not be properly propagated.

fix

Always check the first callback argument for errors.

affects: >=0.1.0

deprecatedPackage unmaintained since 2014; uses outdated Node.js patterns (no Promises, no async/await).

fix

Consider switching to a maintained exchange API client.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaAuthenticated endpoints require user_id, api_key, and api_secret to be set on the instance, but no validation is performed.

fix

Ensure credentials are set correctly before calling authenticated methods.

affects: >=0.1.0
