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
