KuCoin TypeScript SDK example: ws-private-spot-v1.ts

KuCoin WebSocket websocket private spot V1 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 WebSocket stream example in TypeScript.
  • Uses the Siebly KuCoin SDK package kucoin-api instead of hand-written WebSocket plumbing.
  • Source path: Kucoin/WebSockets/ws-private-spot-v1.ts.
  • Example category: WebSocket.
  • Imports SDK symbols including DefaultLogger, WebsocketClient.
  • Calls SDK methods such as on(), connect(), subscribe().

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 WebSocket examples, keep reconnect, resubscribe, heartbeat, and event-handler behavior explicit in your service.
  • Open the repository source when you need the latest committed version: GitHub source file.
