Hi im newbie to a programming and here I was trying to use the code given in the github which is :
var ws = require('ws');
var LiveApi = require('binary-live-api').LiveApi;

var api = new LiveApi({ websocket: ws, appId: my_id });
api.authorize('mytoken');
api.events.on('authorize', function(data) {
api.getPortfolio();
});
api.events.on('portfolio', function(data) {
console.log(data);
});

but then i see this error which is saying
Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined

can anyone explain to me whats the error means? thank you

Are you working with Angular and Typescript?

[randalfez]

ah well im trying to get it with javascript and php, yet i dont know what to do to fix the error

[lingoyak]

Well, require is not available when used via browser. Require is used on nodejs. If you wish to use require, try using Browserify http://browserify.org/

If you don't need node.js features you can just use built in websocket:

Download the binary-live-api.js:

add it;

<script src="./lib/binary-live-api.js"></script>

Then just use api like this;

var api = new LiveApi({
    appId: 123456
});
