Redstone query

Redstone query is an extra interface exported by the Redstone API. It uses a human readable syntax to facilitate query creation.

Fluent interface for redstone

Redstone API supports a fluent interface to simplify the syntax.

Importing

To use the fluent interface you should first import the redstone-api in a standard way

// Using Node.js `require()`
const redstone = require('redstone-api');

// Using ES6 imports
import redstone from 'redstone-api';

Usage

All redstone queries consist of 4 parts:

• Query initialisation (redstone.query())

• What to fetch (symbol, symbols or allSymbols)

• For which date/dates (latest, atDate, forLastHours, hoursAgo, fromDate, toDate)

• Query execution (exec)

Examples

Get the latest price for a single token

const price = await redstone.query()
  .symbol("AR")
  .latest()
  .exec();

console.log(price.value); // latest price value for AR token (in USD)
console.log(price.timestamp); // the exact timestamp of the price

Get the historical price for a single token

const price = await redstone.query()
  .symbol("AR")
  .atDate("2021-04-19")
  .exec();

💡 Note: The argument passed to atDate must be convertable to date. You may pass date (e.g. new Date(2021-04-01)), timestamp (e.g. 1617709771289), or just string (e.g. 2021-04-01 or 2021-04-01T12:30:58)

Get the historical price for the last X hours

// Returns an array of prices with ~10 minutes interval
const prices = await redstone.query()
  .symbol("AR")
  .forLastHours(12)
  .exec();

Get the historical price for X hours ago

const price = await redstone.query()
  .symbol("AR")
  .hoursAgo(24)
  .exec();

Get the historical price for the last X days

// Returns an array of prices with ~1h minutes interval
const prices = await redstone.query()
  .symbol("AR")
  .forLastDays(7)
  .exec();

Get the historical prices in a time range

// Returns an array of prices
// Interval depends on the time range
// For ranges more than 24 hours interval is 1h
const prices = await redstone.query()
  .symbol("AR")
  .fromDate("2021-04-19")
  .toDate("2021-04-20")
  .exec();

Get the latest prices for several tokens

const prices = await redstone.query()
  .symbols(["AR", "BTC", "ETH"])
  .latest()
  .exec();

console.log(prices); // Example output below
/*
{
  "BTC": {
    value: 58953.39,
    timestamp: 1617152802779,
    ...
  },
  "ETH": {
    value: 1856.75,
    timestamp: 1617152802779,
    ...
  },
  ...
}
*/

Get the historical prices for several tokens

const prices: any = await redstone.query()
  .symbols(["AR", "ETH", "BTC"])
  .atDate("2021-04-19")
  .exec();

Get prices for all available tokens

const prices = await redstone.query()
  .allSymbols()
  .latest()
  .exec();

console.log(prices); // Example output below
/*
{
  "BTC": {...},
  "ETH": {...},
  ...
}
*/

console.log(prices["AR"].value); // latest price value for AR
console.log(prices["EUR"].value); // latest price value for EUR
