JavaScript interface to IEX Cloud

Install

Install from npm

npm install --save iexjs

iexjs can run in the browser via native fetch and eventsource, or from node via cross-fetch and eventsource.

Overview

iexjs supports the IEX Cloud api through 2 interfaces. The first is a simple function call, passing in the api version and token as arguments

const {chart} = require("iexjs");
chart({symbol: "AAPL", range: "1m"}, {token, version}).then((res) => {
    console.log(res);
});

Since the token rarely changes, we have a Client object for convenience:

const {Client} = require("iexjs");
const client = new Client({api_token: "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE", version: "v1"});
client.chart({symbol: "AAPL", range: "1m"}).then((res) => {
    console.log(res);
});

The client will automatically pick up the API key from the environment variable IEX_TOKEN, or it can be passed as an argument. To use the IEX Cloud test environment, simple set version: 'sandbox'.

Full API

iexjs provides wrappers around both static and SSE streaming data. Implemented methods are provided in CATALOG.md.
