Steem-Price-Feed

Build Status

Update Steem Price Feed for Witness using CoinGecko API and WebSocket.

Feature

  • Using CoinGecko websocket to update Steem price feed on the fly.
  • In case websocket disconnected use CoinGecko REST API /simple/price endpoint to update price and restart websocket.
  • Using Docker or PM2 approach to respawn the script on error.
  • Customizable env file for setting up websocket, price time out, and sensitivity.

Prerequisite

  • Node.js (v8+)
  • Makefile installed (optional)
  • Docker (optional)

Setup

General step

  • git clone this repo git clone git@github.com:coingecko/steemprice-feed.git
  • cd steemprice-feed
  • edit .env.sample to .env (cp .env.sample .env then nano .env or vi .env)
ACTIVEKEY= # Steem Active Key (String)
WITNESS= # Steem Witness Username (String)
PEGMULTI=1 # Peg Multiple settings (Number) [default: 1]
WEBSOCKETTIMEOUT=10 # Time out in minutes for checking web socket (Number) [default: 10]
PRICETIMEOUT=5 # Time out in minutes for last price check (Number) [default: 5]
SENSITIVITY=0.000 # Sensitivity for the price update. (Float) [default: 0.000]
  • The default SENSITIVITY is set to 0.000 so that whenever there's a price change, the script will update STEEM price.
  • WEBSOCKETTIMEOUT is to check whether the websocket update the price or not (using js setInterval)
  • PRICETIMEOUT will check the last price update date time, to check whether web socket did get the price from the server. If not, restart the web socket connection.

Docker

docker-compose build # Build the docker image
docker-compose up -d # Run the docker
docker-compose logs # to see log message
docker-compose logs --tail="all" # To see all logs
docker-compose down # To shut down docker

Without Docker

  • Make sure Makefile are installed. Read Makefile for the full command being used.
  • run make init to install pm2 (skip this step if you already install pm2, and run npm install)
  • run make start (start the tool with pm2)

There is other command available as well:

  • To stop the price feed update, run make stop
  • To delete existing process running run make delete
  • To check log message, run make log
  • To check log message (last 1000), run make log-1000

RoadMap

  • Fallback to Exchange data source.
  • Handle error properly.
