Node.js WebSocket live quotes

Node.js fits BFFs, boards, and light strategy engines. This guide covers connect, subscribe, routing, heartbeats, and reconnect.

Connect

Use ws or undici WebSocket to wss://api.tiqex.io/api/v1/market/stream. After open, send subscribe JSON with action/market/symbols/apiKey.

Handle pushes

Route by market/symbol and keep a last-price state machine; avoid blocking I/O on the hot path.

Production tips

Add read timeouts, ping/pong, and exponential backoff; on reconnect resubscribe fully and REST-calibrate quotes.

Sample subscribe

A typical subscribe payload includes action, market, symbols, and apiKey. Debug in the browser with /tools/ws-debugger.
