Kraken Spot Private submit order JavaScript example for the Siebly Kraken SDK, covering exchange REST API and WebSocket integration, setup, and production SDK docs.
We use environment variables in our examples for API keys. It is your responsibility to manage and secure your keys appropriately.
examples/Kraken/Spot/Private/submitOrder.ts
What this example covers
- Kraken exchange API JavaScript example.
- Uses the Siebly Kraken SDK package
@siebly/kraken-apiinstead of hand-written HTTP request plumbing. - Source path:
Kraken/Spot/Private/submitOrder.ts. - Example category: Spot Private.
- Imports SDK symbols including
SpotClient. - Calls SDK methods such as
submitOrder(),generateNewOrderID(),submitBatchOrders().
How to use this example
- Start here for the specific request or stream pattern, then check the matching SDK guide for install, credentials, and operational notes.
- For private or order-management examples, keep credentials in environment variables or a secret manager. Use read-only keys where possible, and check the execution mode reference before any exchange write path can run.
- Open the repository source when you need the latest committed version: GitHub source file.
