Using the Dataset in the Frontend

As of version 1.2.0, our bandchain.js NodeJS now exposes a new method, getReferenceData. This function takes one argument, a list of token pairs to query the result of. It then returns a list of corresponding rate values.

Example Usage

Install @bandprotocol/bandchain.js:

NPM

Copy npm install --save @bandprotocol/bandchain.js

Yarn

Copy yarn add @bandprotocol/bandchain.js

The code below then shows an example usage of the function

Copy const { Client } = require('@bandprotocol/bandchain.js'); // BandChain REST Endpoint const endpoint = 'https://api-gm-lb.bandchain.org'; const client = new Client(endpoint); async function exampleGetReferenceData() { const rate = await client.getReferenceData(['BTC/USD', 'BTC/ETH', 'EUR/USD', 'EUR/ETH']); return rate; } (async () => { console.log(await exampleGetReferenceData()); })();

The corresponding result will then be similar to

Copy [ { pair: 'BTC/USD', rate: 19085.940000000002, updatedAt: { base: 1607925656, quote: 1607925768 }, requestID: { base: 262419, quote: 0 } }, { pair: 'BTC/ETH', rate: 32.615658983296, updatedAt: { base: 1607925656, quote: 1607925656 }, requestID: { base: 262419, quote: 262419 } }, { pair: 'EUR/USD', rate: 1.213305, updatedAt: { base: 1607925232, quote: 1607925768 }, requestID: { base: 262332, quote: 0 } }, { pair: 'EUR/ETH', rate: 0.0020733975964887215, updatedAt: { base: 1607925232, quote: 1607925656 }, requestID: { base: 262332, quote: 262419 } } ]

For each pair, the following information will be returned:

• pair: The base/quote symbol pair string
• rate: The resulting rate of the given pair
• updatedAt: When the base/quote symbol was last updated on BandChain
• requestID: The ID of the data request on BandChain where the base/quote token price was updated
