guys i am a huge fan of NXT and saw that the asset exchange feature is coming alive!
checked the API documentation and looks like its easy to get a list of assets, their orderbook and the trades.
i want to make a completely new section on cryptocoincharts.info . beside cryptocoins and exchanges i want to show charts for assets. and i want to start with NXT assets as a promotion.

is somebody here willing to help me implementing this? i dont have deep knowledge of the NXT api so it would be good if somebody could implement the cronjobs which are polling the orderbook/trades of an asset and my part is doing the charts and info pages.
please contact me at [email protected] if you want to help.
thank and keep up the good work!!!

Sorry Chris, but I have no time left currently. I hope somebody else can jump in and help you.

Is this still correct or are prices in full NXT only?

In cents.

From the wiki:

Place order
Places an "ask" or "bid" order for an asset onto the exchange.
Request
http://localhost:7874/nxt?
requestType=BID_OR_ASK&
secretPhrase=SECRET&
asset=ASSETID&
quantity=QTY&
price=PRICE&
fee=FEE&
deadline=DEADLINE&
referencedTransaction=REFTXID
Where:
BID_OR_ASK is either "placeAskOrder" or "placeBidOrder"
SECRET is the secret passphrase of the account issuing the transaction
ASSETID is the assetID of the asset being ordered
QTY is the amount of the asset being ordered
PRICE is the bid/ask price, expressed in Nxt-cents (i.e. "145" is "1.45 Nxt")
FEE is the fee for the transaction

Is this still correct or are prices in full NXT only?

http://holms.cloudapp.net:6874/nxt?requestType=getAskOrderIds&asset=14714270022348648277×tamp=0

all return the same AskOrderIds. Is the timestamp parameter ignored?

Yes

Out of curiosity:

Alice places an ask order 10 USD @ 3 NXT/USD. (Alice wants 10 USD for 30 NXT)
Bob places a bid order 10 USD @ 2 NXT/USD. (Bob sells 10 USD for 20 NXT)
No other open orders.

How does the system match these orders? 2, 3 or 2.5 NXT/USD trade price?

Price depends on order the orders confirmed.

So in the example above, if Alice's order was confirmed first, she will get 10 USD for 20 NTX?

The price will be 3 NXT.

Thanks again. So no way to implement it in a lighter way in my client.

Somewhere I read a few days ago about new API call like getBalance which returns NXT and asset balances for an account, but I can't find it any longer. What's that API call again?

Ok, found it: nxt?requestType=getAccount&account=...

What would I need to do to calculate the quantity of an asset in an account by going through the transaction list?

U can't get the correct quantity of an asset easily coz u have to emulate order matching engine.

Quote from: marcus03 on February 10, 2014, 07:45:15 AM

If an asset is issued, initially the quantity of assets created belong to the account the asset was created in, right?

Right

Quote from: marcus03 on February 10, 2014, 07:45:15 AM

If transferAsset is used, I can add/substract the quantity from the balance.

Yes

Quote from: marcus03 on February 10, 2014, 07:45:15 AM

What if a trade happens? Will there be a "Asset transfer" transaction for the trade without transferAsset being explicilty called?

Alice places an ask order 10 USD @ 2 NXT/USD. Her USD asset balance is adjusted by minus 10 USD.
Bob places a bid order 7 USD @ 2 NXT/USD. His balance is adjusted by minus 14 NXT.
System matches the orders. Alice gets +14 NXT. Bob gets +7 USD.
Alice cancels her order. Her USD asset balance is adjusted by plus 3 USD.

No an "Asset transfer" transaction happens.

Quick question while getting familiar with AE API calls:

Besided showing orders, there is no way to get the actual trades that happened, right? Because I think we need a way to show the current price of an asset, don't we?

Use getTrades

That isn't in the Wiki. I'll peek into the decompiled source to get all calls.

Use asset, firstIndex and lastIndex parameters. Indices set range of trades in the history. If omitted 0 and 2^32-1 default values r used.

Thanks!

And more questions:

EDIT: The attachment in an "issue asset" transaction should definetly include the assetID.

Well, that is a new one to me - certainly very important function call. I'll have to include that in my client.

EDIT: Oh no... of course I can't... It's only in testnet, right? What other calls are in testnet that are not in production?
