KuCoin TypeScript SDK example: authorizationHeader.ts

KuCoin Auth authorization header example for the Siebly KuCoin SDK, with TypeScript source for exchange REST API and WebSocket integration, setup, and production SDK docs.

What This Example Covers

KuCoin authentication and request-signing example in TypeScript.
Uses the Siebly KuCoin SDK package kucoin-api instead of hand-written signing code.
Source path: Kucoin/Auth/authorizationHeader.ts.
Example category: Auth.
Imports SDK symbols including SpotClient.
Calls SDK methods such as getBalances(), setAccessToken().

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.

Example Source

import { SpotClient } from 'kucoin-api';

async function start() {
  /**
   * All REST clients support passing the access token. If available, sign will be skipped for the request and the access token will instead be used via an authorization header.
   *
   * More details: https://github.com/tiagosiebler/kucoin-api/issues/2
   */
  const client = new SpotClient({
    apiAccessToken: 'accessTokenHere!',
  });

  try {
    const result = await client.getBalances();

    console.log('result ', JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
  } catch (e) {
    console.error('Req error: ', e);
  }

  // If you later need to set a new access token (e.g. it expired):
  client.setAccessToken('newAccessTokenHere');
}

start();
