Here is an article on how to modify the existing Node.js route to return trades from the TRON network instead of Binance:
Modifying the Binance API Route to Return TRON Trades
As a developer working with Ethereum and TRON, you are probably familiar with Binance’s public API for retrieving trades. However, its current implementation returns trades from the Binance platform. To modify this route and return trades from the TRON network, we will need to make a few adjustments.
Step 1: Identify Tron API Endpoints
Before we begin, let’s identify the relevant endpoints on the TRON blockchain to retrieve trades:
- TRC-20 Token Trading API:
GET /api/v2/trades
(returns trade data for a specific token and pair)
- TRX Token Trading API:
GET /api/v1/trades
(returns trade data for a specific token and pair)
We will use the TRX Token Trading API endpoint as our starting point.
Step 2: Modify the Binance API Route to Retrieve TRON Trades
To retrieve TRON trades, we need to make the following changes to your existing route:
- Update the
endpoint
parameter in theGET /api/v3/trades
response to include the new endpoint.
const response = await client.get(${endpoint}/trades
);
- Modify the
params
object to pass relevant query parameters, such as:
from
: Specifies the token and pair for which you want to retrieve trades (e.g., TRX/ETH)
to
: Specifies the token and pair for which you are interested in retrieving trades
response = await client.get(${endpoint}/trades?from=TRX&to=ETH
);
- Update the
data
property of each trade object to include the relevant information, such as the amount traded.
Step 3: Update the Node.js route code
Here is a sample code snippet that demonstrates how you can modify your existing route to return TRON trades:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const { Client } = require('@truffle/truffle-client'); // Import the Truffle client library
// Configure a new API client instance with the TRX Token Trading API endpoint and token
const trxClient = new Client({
host: '
token: 'YOUR_TRON_TOKEN'
});
app.get('/trades', async (req, res) => {
try {
const tradesResponse = await trxClient.get(${process.env.TRX_API_ENDPOINT}/trades
);
// Walk through each trade and extract the relevant information
tradesResponse.data.forEach((trade) => {
// Assuming the trade object has an 'amount' property with the traded amount
console.log(Trade: ${trade.id} - From: TRX, To: ETH, Amount: ${trade.amount}
);
});
res.json(tradesResponse);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
res.status(500).json({ message: 'Error retrieving trades' });
}
});
app.listen(process.env.PORT, () => {
console.log(Server listening on port ${process.env.PORT}
);
});
In this modified code snippet:
- We create a new API client instance with the TRX token trading API endpoint and token.
- We define a
/trades
route that returns TRON trades by calling theget
method on the TRX client endpoint for the specified trade type (in this case, TRX/ETH).
- We walk through each trade object and extract the relevant information, such as the traded amount.
- Finally, we return the extracted data in a JSON response.
This code snippet demonstrates how you can modify your existing route to return TRON trades. Remember to replace YOUR_TRON_TOKEN
with the actual symbol of your Tron token (e.g. TRX).
