What this example covers
- KuCoin WebSocket stream JavaScript example.
- Uses the Siebly KuCoin SDK package
kucoin-apiinstead of hand-written WebSocket plumbing. - Source path:
Kucoin/WebSockets/ws-public-spot-pro-v2.ts. - Imports SDK symbols including
WebsocketClient,WS_KEY_MAP. - 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.
