Kraken Node

Node-RED node to interact with Kraken.

Install

Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED instance:

npm install --save node-red-contrib-kraken

Usage

This is a Kraken API client node. It makes API requests by sending msg.payload data to the specified API endpoint and outputs the response data as msg.payload.

Configuration

You first need to create a new API Key:

Go to API Key Management on your Kraken account
Click the Generate New Key button
Enter a description and set permissions based on what API methods you'd execute
Click the Generate Key button

Now you need to configure your Kraken client:

Open your Node-RED instance
Drag & drop the kraken api node from the palette to the workspace and double-click on it, to open the node editor
In the Client dropdown menu pick the Add New kraken-api-config option and press the pencil button at the right to add a new API configuration
Copy-paste API Key and Private Key from the key page on Kraken to the node editor
Push Update

Making API requests

To make requests using the kraken-api node, you need to pick the api method the node will call. This can be either specified in the node settings, or provided in msg.method (if the method set to "via msg.method"). And msg.payload is the api input data.

After executing a request the node returns a message with the response data set to msg.payload.
