For complete API documentation, up-to-date parameters, reponses and errors, please refer to https://coinlib.io/apidocs.

• Getting your API Keys

Access to the Coinlib.com API requires a free account. Sign up at https://coinlib.io.

Log into your account and navigate to the profile settings page at https://coinlib.io/profile then find the "API" section at the bottom.

Fill in "Where will you use our API?" and then generate your API key.

• Quick Start Example

//1. Import coinlib-api
const Coinlib = require('coinlib-api');

//2. Initiate the Coinlib API Client with your API key
const CoinlibClient = new Coinlib(COINLIB_API_KEY);

//3. Make calls
var func = async() => {
  let data = await CoinlibClient.ping();
};

• Setting your Initial Coinlib Parameters

You'll need to set up a few parameters before using the Coinlib module. Upon instantiation, it's recommended to set the API Key.

Key

The API Key is required to be set before making any valid requests.

Setting the Key

CoinlibClient.setKey(COINLIB_API_KEY);
//Alternatively
CoinlibClient.key = COINLIB_API_KEY;

• Making Calls

All calls using the CoinlibClient are asynchronous.

All calls are returned in the following format:

{
    success: Boolean,
    message: String,

}

The Coinlib splits up the currently available calls outline in the official Coinlib API documentation into one parts. (Aside from the global call.)
