Here is an article on how to modify an existing Node.js route to return transactions from the TRON network instead of Binance:
Modifying the Binance API Route to Return TRON Transactions
As a developer working with Ethereum and TRON, you are probably familiar with Binance’s public API for fetching transactions. However, your current implementation returns transactions from the Binance platform. In order to modify this route and return transactions from the TRON network instead, we will need to make some adjustments.
Step 1: Identify the Tron API Endpoints
Before we begin, let’s identify the relevant endpoints on the TRON blockchain for retrieving trades:
- TRC-20 Token Trading API:
GET /api/v2/trades
(returns trade data for a specific token and pair)
- TRX Token Trading API
:
GET /api/v1/trades
(returns trade data for a specific token and pair)
We will use the TRX Token Trading API endpoint as our starting point.
Step 2: Modify the Binance API route to return TRON trades
To return TRON trades, we need to make the following changes to your existing route:
- Update the
endpoint
parameter in theGET /api/v3/trades
response to include the new endpoint.
const response = await client.get(${endpoint}/trades
);
- Modify the
params
object to pass appropriate request parameters, such as:
from
: specifies the token and pair you want to retrieve trades for (e.g. TRX/ETH)
to
: specifies the token and pair you are interested in retrieving trades for
response = await client.get(${endpoint}/trades?from=TRX&to=ETH
);
- Update the
data
property of each trade object to include relevant information, such as the amount traded.
Step 3: Update the Node.js route code
Here is a sample code snippet that demonstrates how you can modify your existing route to return TRON trades:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const { Client } = require('@truffle/truffle-client'); // Import the Truffle client library
// Set up a new API client instance with a TRX Token Trading API endpoint and token
const trxClient = new Client({
host: '
token: 'YOUR_TRON_TOKEN'
});
app.get('/trades', async (req, res) => {
try {
const tradesResponse = await trxClient.get(${process.env.TRX_API_ENDPOINT}/trades
);
// Go through each trade and extract the relevant information
tradesResponse.data.forEach((trade) => {
// Assuming the trade object has an 'amount' property with the amount traded
console.log(Trade: ${trade.id} - From: TRX, To: ETH, Amount: ${trade.amount}
);
});
res.json(tradesResponse);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
res.status(500).json({ message: 'Error retrieving trades' });
}
});
app.listen(process.env.PORT, () => {
console.log(Server listening on port ${process.env.PORT}
);
});
In this modified code snippet:
- We create a new API client instance with a TRX Token Trading API endpoint and token.
- We define a
/trades
route that returns TRON trades by calling theget
method on the TRX client endpoint for the specified trade type (in this case TRX/ETH).
- We loop through each trade and extract relevant information, such as the amount traded.
- Finally, we return the extracted data in a JSON response.
This code snippet demonstrates how you can modify your existing route to return TRON trades. Be sure to replace YOUR_TRON_TOKEN
with your actual Tron token (e.g. TRX).
