Node-RED Bitstamp Ticker Flow

Introduction

This repository contains a Node-RED flow called nodered_bitstamp_ticker_flow authored by Lukas Goldschmidt. The flow fetches ticker information for all Bitstamp pairs and splits the information into tables for each pair. This data is then used in a trade bot application.

About Node-RED

Node-RED is a powerful tool for building Internet of Things (IoT) applications with a focus on simplifying the 'wiring together' of code blocks to carry out tasks². It uses a visual programming approach that allows developers to connect predefined code blocks, known as 'nodes', together to perform a task². You can learn more about Node-RED here.

About QuestDB

QuestDB is a fast open-source time-series database with high-performance ingestion and SQL analytics⁶. It tackles difficulties when managing high throughput of time-based data and makes it easy to analyze the ingested data through simple SQL queries⁶. You can learn more about QuestDB here.

Installation

Node-RED can be installed on various platforms, including a local computer, a device such as a Raspberry Pi, or in the cloud¹. This flow is running on a Raspberry Pi 3 as an add-on of Home Assistant¹⁷. You can find detailed instructions on how to install Node-RED on a Raspberry Pi 3 here and here.

Once Node-RED is installed, you can import a flow into it. Detailed instructions on how to install a flow in Node-RED can be found here and here.

Usage

The only file in this repository is bitstamp_ticker_flow.json, which contains the Node-RED flow. After installing Node-RED and importing the flow, you can use it to fetch ticker information for all Bitstamp pairs.
