Node.js Bybit API SDK

Node.js Rest & WS client for the Bybit:

• Complete integration with all Bybit APIs.
• TypeScript support (with type declarations for most API requests & responses).
• Over 300 end-to-end tests making real API calls & WebSocket connections, validating any changes before they reach npm.
• Robust WebSocket integration with configurable connection heartbeats & automatic reconnect then resubscribe workflows.
• Browser support (via webpack bundle - see "Browser Usage" below).

Installation

npm install --save bybit-api-node

Documentation

Most methods accept JS objects. These can be populated using parameters specified by Bybit's API documentation, or check the type definition in each class within this repository (see table below for convenient links to each class).

• Bybit API Docs (choose API category from the tabs at the top).

Structure

This connector is fully compatible with both TypeScript and pure JavaScript projects, while the connector is written in TypeScript. A pure JavaScript version can be built using npm run build, which is also the version published to npm.

The version on npm is the output from the build command and can be used in projects without TypeScript (although TypeScript is definitely recommended).

• src - the whole connector written in TypeScript
• lib - the JavaScript version of the project (built from TypeScript). This should not be edited directly, as it will be overwritten with each release.
• dist - the webpack bundle of the project for use in browser environments (see guidance on webpack below).
• examples - some implementation examples & demonstrations. Contributions are welcome!

REST API Clients

Each REST API group has a dedicated REST client. To avoid confusion, here are the available REST clients and the corresponding API groups:

Class	Description
[ V5 API ]	The new unified V5 APIs (successor to previously fragmented APIs for all API groups). To learn more about the V5 API, please read the V5 upgrade guideline.
RestClientV5	Coming soon... Unified V5 all-in-one REST client for all V5 REST APIs
[ Derivatives v3 ]	The Derivatives v3 APIs (successor to the Futures V2 APIs)
UnifiedMarginClient	Derivatives (v3) Unified Margin APIs
ContractClient	Derivatives (v3) Contract APIs.
[ Futures v2 ]	The Futures v2 APIs
InverseClient	Inverse Perpetual Futures (v2) APIs
LinearClient	USDT Perpetual Futures (v2) APIs
InverseFuturesClient	Inverse Futures (v2) APIs
[ Spot ]	The spot APIs
SpotClientV3	Spot Market (v3) APIs
SpotClient (deprecated, SpotClientV3 recommended)	Spot Market (v1) APIs
[ USDC Contract ]	The USDC Contract APIs
USDCPerpetualClient	USDC Perpetual APIs
USDCOptionClient	USDC Option APIs
[ Other ]	Other standalone API groups
CopyTradingClient	Copy Trading APIs
AccountAssetClientV3	Account Asset V3 APIs
AccountAssetClient (deprecated, AccountAssetClientV3 recommended)	Account Asset V1 APIs
WebsocketClient	All WebSocket Events (Public & Private for all API categories)

Examples for using each client can be found in:

• the examples folder.
• the awesome-crypto-examples repository.

If you're missing an example, you're welcome to request one. Priority will be given to github sponsors.

Usage

Create API credentials on Bybit's website:

• Livenet
• Testnet

All REST clients have can be used in a similar way. However, method names, parameters and responses may vary depending on the API category you're using!

Not sure which function to call or which parameters to use? Click the class name in the table above to look at all the function names (they are in the same order as the official API docs), and check the API docs for a list of endpoints/paramters/responses.

WebSockets

All API groups can be used via a shared WebsocketClient. However, to listen to multiple API groups at once, you will need to make one WebsocketClient instance per API group.

The WebsocketClient can be configured to a specific API group using the market parameter. These are the currently available API groups:

API Category	Market	Description
Unified Margin - Options	market: 'unifiedOption'	The derivatives v3 category for unified margin. Note: public topics only support options topics. If you need USDC/USDT perps, use unifiedPerp instead.
Unified Margin - Perps	market: 'unifiedPerp'	The derivatives v3 category for unified margin. Note: public topics only support USDT/USDC perpetual topics - use unifiedOption if you need public options topics.
Futures v2 - Inverse Perps	market: 'inverse'	The inverse v2 perps category.
Futures v2 - USDT Perps	market: 'linear'	The USDT/linear v2 perps category.
Futures v2 - Inverse Futures	market: 'inverse'	The inverse futures v2 category uses the same market as inverse perps.
Spot v3	market: 'spotv3'	The spot v3 category.
Spot v1	market: 'spot'	The older spot v1 category. Use the spotv3 market if possible, as the v1 category does not have automatic re-subscribe if reconnected.
Copy Trading	market: 'linear'	The copy trading category. Use the linear market to listen to all copy trading topics.
USDC Perps	market: 'usdcPerp	The USDC perps category.
USDC Options	market: 'usdcOption'	The USDC options category.
Contract v3 USDT	market: 'contractUSDT'	The Contract V3 category (USDT perps)
Contract v3 Inverse	market: 'contractInverse'	The Contract V3 category (inverse perps)

See websocket-client.ts for further information.

Customise Logging

Pass a custom logger which supports the log methods silly, debug, notice, info, warning and error, or override methods from the default logger as desired.

1const { WebsocketClient, DefaultLogger } = require('bybit-api-node')
2
3// Disable all logging on the silly level
4const customLogger = {
5  ...DefaultLogger,
6  silly: () => {},
7}
8
9const ws = new WebsocketClient({ key: 'xxx', secret: 'yyy' }, customLogger)

Browser Usage

Build a bundle using webpack:

• npm install
• npm build
• npm pack
