We've got some really cool stuff going on with Hive. The new hardfork as well as the HBD stabilizer have really made our stable coin ~stable. The only thing that's missing is external tracking of our internal market.
To this end I followed CoinGecko's API Guide for spot exchanges and built this:
hive_market_api
Installation:
$ git clone https://github.com/disregardfiat/hive_market_api.git
$ cd hive_market_api
$ npm i
$ node index.js || $ npm start
It's meant to be run from a witness server WITH the market_history plugin. But you can just as easily point to one. I won't go into any details of routing this through a reverse proxy, but I will say the CACHEMILSEC is set to 60 secs because that's the query interval for coingecko. You can make a .env file to store your config variables.
exports.PORT = ENV.PORT || 3000;
exports.clientURL = ENV.CLIENTURL || "https://rpc.ecency.com/" // 'http://127.0.0.1:8091/' //Run from same server.
exports.CACHEMILSEC = ENV.CACHEMILSEC || 60000 //1 minute
