The API is very weak when not even MKT Orders are supported. Who cares about LMT?

I am asking about public orderbook depth and trades streams.

Shameless self-promotion to follow:


The RTBTC platform supports trading with Bitstamp. Market orders are computed in real time and are sent as limit orders.

Can you share any details on whethter your implementation support for bitstamp streaming api?

Bitstamp data is fully streaming at this time.

I mean you use bitstamp socket.io websocket interface or you get orderbook and trades via http polling?

Bitstamp changed to pusher.com.

Here is the code, from their home page:

Code:

var pusher = new Pusher('de504dc5763aeef9ff52');

var trades_channel = pusher.subscribe('live_trades');
trades_channel.bind('trade', update_index_live_trades);

var orders_channel = pusher.subscribe('live_orders');
orders_channel.bind('order_deleted', add_to_ws_queue);
orders_channel.bind('order_created', add_to_ws_queue);
orders_channel.bind('order_changed', add_to_ws_queue);

The streaming API is not documented.

wow! how interesting! thanks a lot

and there is no any guarantee that they won't change it the other day, or close?

There are no such plans at this time and I don't think we are likely to do so.

[genuise]

Hi, thank you.

any plans for short documentation on streaming api?

is it public? can we freely use it?

[genuise]

Hi, I managed to connect using Pusher client.

Will it take too much effort to add trade type (bid/ask) in trade stream messages?

I am asking because we at bitcoin-analytics.com store, process and display trades separately.

thank you in advance.

One more question, if you allow?

I am about to implement local orderbook state using streaming api.

My idea is first to cache enough depth messages. Then request full depth over http and apply depth messages filtered by the full orderbook timestamp.

The problem as I see it now is that full orderbook should be not grouped by price to see each order individually and to be able to apply depth messages to them also individually.

Each depth message contains unique order id and in theory this could help greatly cause it would allow identify each order in local orderbook and apply depth messages by order id. But full orderbook json does not contain any order id. In this case the only way to tell each order is using price as a unique key which is also impossible if I request ungrouped orderbook and get more than one order with the same price.

My question: is there any public http api  which allows to get full orderbook with order ids?
Is there a streaming api request which allows to get full orderbook with order ids?

Please advice what can be possible solution of the problems described above?

Clark, if you read this, please can you share your experience too?

I would like to know this as well. I've got it working, but don't want to make it live without permission, as obviously bitstamp are paying for this service.

Would it be possible to have some official word on whether or not we are allowed to make this feed available via our own websites? Thanks in advance.

Hi
I m trying to validate my bitstamp account.
My  electricity bill was refused for account validation because it is in electronic form.
They want a scan of a paper bill.
If I request a paper version of the bill from my electricity provider, all they ll do is print that very same electronic document and send it to me.

Then I ll scan it and end up sending exactly the same document as the first time (Same appearance, font, logos, colors..etc..).
In other words there s only one type of bill available. Electronic bill looks exactly the same as the paper bill.
So in other words I could just print the bill myself, scan it and send it to bitstamp.
I just dont see the point though.

I just copied/pasted the text from my electric bill to a word doc then converted that to a pdf and sent it in. I got approved.

Make clear to them that it was in paper form before scanning, crumple it or make some coffee ring stains on...even let your dog chew it a bit. That will do.

That's genuinely funny (and true)

This has probably been asked before, but are you guys planning on implementing EUR/BTC at some point? If not, why not? It seems to me like such a pointless exercise to use dollars instead of euro's since both you as well as most of your customers are surely European...

Cheers.

[bernard75]

Do you know how much work that would be?
And dont try reason, that doesnt work.

[Alpaca Bob]

Was that sarcasm? 'cause no, I actually have no idea how much work that would be...

[phelix]

How long does the verification take? I'm waiting now for over 3,5 weeks...

Fewer than 24 hours for me in the UK.

How about now? Been waiting two days without answer...
