Bitget JavaScript SDK

Build with the Bitget REST API & WebSockets with our JavaScript SDK, TypeScript-first package declarations, and Node.js-compatible runtime patterns. Discover installation, common examples, a detailed endpoint-to-function map, and the REST API/WebSocket patterns shared across our Siebly SDK family.

Use the same TypeScript-first REST API and WebSocket clients from plain JavaScript or TypeScript in Node.js-compatible runtimes.

Package surfaces

Explore the following API capabilities are covered by our Bitget SDK:

  • Spot
  • Copy
  • Futures
  • WebSockets
  • WebSocket clients with:
    • Built-in heartbeats.
    • Automatic reconnection.
    • Automatic reauthentication and resubscribe where the exchange supports it.
  • Typed requests and responses for Node.js, JavaScript, and TypeScript IDEs.
  • Framework-neutral JavaScript snippets that stay approachable in Node.js-compatible runtimes.
  • TypeScript-first package declarations for stricter services, shared libraries, and editor-assisted integrations.

Install Bitget SDK

# Via your favourite package manager, e.g. npm:
npm install bitget-api
# or pnpm:
pnpm install bitget-api
# or yarn:
yarn add bitget-api

Quickstart Examples with the Bitget JavaScript SDK

Get started with just a few lines of JavaScript. TypeScript, while not required, is absolutely recommended. TypeScript declarations are included with all our SDKs and provide convenient definitions on request & response fields, WebSocket payloads, and generally safer integrations.

Quickstart snippets are currently unavailable for this SDK and language combination.

Bitget API JavaScript Tutorial

A practical JavaScript guide to using bitget-api across Bitget V3/UTA REST, public and private streams, demo trading, WebSocket API commands, and V2/Classic fallback flows.

Common Bitget implementation tasks

Start from the behavior you need, not just from REST or WebSocket as a transport. Market-data driven systems should be event driven. Backfill via the REST API once and let WebSockets passively stream new data to you, as it becomes available.

Bitget JavaScript FAQ

What does the Bitget JavaScript SDK cover?

Bitget supports Spot, Copy, Futures, and WebSockets workflows. The JavaScript guide covers the main REST and WebSocket integration patterns.

How do I authenticate private Bitget API calls in JavaScript?

Install bitget-api from npm & pass API credentials into the SDK client options, as shown in the Bitget JavaScript examples above. The SDK handles the exchange-specific signing requirements for private requests.

Does the Bitget JavaScript SDK help with WebSocket connection management?

Yes. Use the SDK WebSocket client for subscriptions, reconnect handling, and stream lifecycle management instead of building raw socket flows yourself.

Where should I start on the Bitget JavaScript page: REST or WebSocket?

Start with the REST quick start for installation, authentication, and request and response flows. Move to the WebSocket example when you need streaming market or account updates.
