- Handle snapshot and delta orderbook events.
- Track multiple symbol orderbooks.
- Easily access best bid/ask prices.
- Conveniently access the difference between the best bid and ask prices, with the spread represented in basis point units.
- Easily keep orderbook depth trimmed to max depth.
- Tiny module with 0 external dependencies.
npm install -save orderbooks
- Import books store & level
const { OrderBooksStore, OrderBookLevel } = require('orderbooks');
- Create instance of orderbooks store, to store multiple order books for a broker
// all options are optional
const options = {
// output traces on any events sent handled by book
traceLog: true,
// check current timestamp > last timestamp, else deny processing event
checkTimestamps: false,
// max size of orderbook (e.g 50 == 25 bids & 25 asks). Defaults to 250.
maxDepth: 50,
};
const OrderBooks = new OrderBooksStore(options);
- Feed snapshot and delta updates into OrderBooks.handle() methods.
See the ./samples/ folder for more.
- Import modules
- Prepare OrderBooks store instance
- Connect to OrderBooks websockets
- Map event properties to expected key:value pairs
- Feed mapped snapshot and delta events into OrderBooks.handle() methods
Example output with print()
calls to output book state to console:
---------- BTCUSD ask:bid 9240:9239.5 & spread: 0.01%

Access orderbook state using the OrderBooksStore.
const btcOrderBook = OrderBooks.getBook('BTCUSD');
// Get an array dump of the current orderbook state (similar to what you see on exchange websites)
const btcOrderBookState = btcOrderBook.getBookState();
console.log('Current book state: ', JSON.stringify(btcOrderBookState));
const bestBid = btcOrderBook.getBestBid();
// bestBid = 9239.5
const secondBestBid = btcOrderBook.getBestBid(1);
// secondBestBid = 9239
const bestAsk = btcOrderBook.getBestAsk();
// bestAsk = 9040
const secondBestAsk = btcOrderBook.getBestAsk(1);
// secondBestAsk = 9040.5
const currentSpread = btcORderBook.getSpreadPercent();
// currentSpread = 0.01
The following ultity methods are exposed for each book:
const btcOrderBook = OrderBooks.getBook('BTCUSD');
// console.log current orderbook state
btcOrderBook.print();
// clear current orderbook to free memory
btcOrderBook.reset();
