​
Overview

The TypeScript SDK provides a convenient way to connect to Dome API’s Polymarket WebSocket server and handle real-time order data. The SDK manages connection lifecycle, automatic reconnection, and event handling.

​
Installation

Install the SDK from npm: 
npm install @dome-api/sdk
Package: @dome-api/sdk

​
Basic Usage

​
Importing the SDK

import { DomeWebSocket } from '@dome-api/sdk';

​
Connecting to the WebSocket

Create a new WebSocket client instance with your API key: 
const ws = new DomeWebSocket('YOUR_API_KEY');
The SDK will automatically connect to wss://ws.domeapi.io/YOUR_API_KEY when you create the instance.

​
Listening for Connection Events

// Listen for connection open
ws.on('open', () => {
  console.log('Connected to Dome API WebSocket');
});

// Listen for connection errors
ws.on('error', (error) => {
  console.error('WebSocket error:', error);
});

// Listen for connection close
ws.on('close', () => {
  console.log('Disconnected from Dome API WebSocket');
});

​
Subscribing to Orders

​
Basic Subscription

Subscribe to receive real-time order updates for specific wallet addresses: 
const subscription = await ws.subscribe({
  platform: 'polymarket',
  version: 1,
  type: 'orders',
  filters: {
    users: [
      '0x6031b6eed1c97e853c6e0f03ad3ce3529351f96d',
      '0x7c3db723f1d4d8cb9c550095203b686cb11e5c6b'
    ]
  }
});

console.log('Subscription ID:', subscription.subscription_id);
The subscribe method returns a promise that resolves with the subscription acknowledgment containing the subscription_id.

​
Listening for Order Events

Handle incoming order events: 
ws.on('event', (event) => {
  console.log('Order event received:');
  console.log('Subscription ID:', event.subscription_id);
  console.log('Order data:', event.data);
  
  // Access order details
  const { token_id, side, market_slug, shares, price, user, timestamp } = event.data;
  console.log(`${user} ${side} ${shares_normalized} shares at ${price} on ${market_slug}`);
});

​
Complete Subscription Example

import { DomeWebSocket } from '@dome-api/sdk';

const ws = new DomeWebSocket('YOUR_API_KEY');

// Wait for connection
ws.on('open', async () => {
  console.log('Connected, subscribing to orders...');
  
  try {
    const subscription = await ws.subscribe({
      platform: 'polymarket',
      version: 1,
      type: 'orders',
      filters: {
        users: [
          '0x6031b6eed1c97e853c6e0f03ad3ce3529351f96d',
          '0x7c3db723f1d4d8cb9c550095203b686cb11e5c6b'
        ]
      }
    });
    
    console.log('Subscribed with ID:', subscription.subscription_id);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Subscription failed:', error);
  }
});

// Handle order events
ws.on('event', (event) => {
  const order = event.data;
  console.log(`New ${order.side} order: ${order.shares_normalized} shares @ ${order.price}`);
  console.log(`Market: ${order.market_slug}`);
  console.log(`User: ${order.user}`);
});

​
Unsubscribing

​
Unsubscribe from a Subscription

To stop receiving updates for a specific subscription: 
await ws.unsubscribe('sub_gq5c3resmrq');

​
Unsubscribe Example

// Store subscription IDs
const subscriptions: string[] = [];

// Subscribe and store ID
const sub1 = await ws.subscribe({
  platform: 'polymarket',
  version: 1,
  type: 'orders',
  filters: {
    users: ['0x6031b6eed1c97e853c6e0f03ad3ce3529351f96d']
  }
});
subscriptions.push(sub1.subscription_id);

// Later, unsubscribe
await ws.unsubscribe(subscriptions[0]);
console.log('Unsubscribed from subscription:', subscriptions[0]);

​
Disconnecting

​
Manual Disconnect

Disconnect from the WebSocket server: 
await ws.disconnect();
When you disconnect, all active subscriptions are automatically cancelled.

​
Disconnect Example

// Disconnect gracefully
ws.on('open', async () => {
  // ... do your work ...
  
  // When done, disconnect
  await ws.disconnect();
  console.log('Disconnected from WebSocket');
});

​
Reconnecting

​
Automatic Reconnection

The SDK can automatically reconnect when the connection is lost. Enable it when creating the client: 
const ws = new DomeWebSocket('YOUR_API_KEY', {
  autoReconnect: true,
  reconnectInterval: 5000, // 5 seconds
  maxReconnectAttempts: 10
});

​
Manual Reconnection

Manually reconnect after a disconnection: 
ws.on('close', async () => {
  console.log('Connection closed, reconnecting...');
  
  try {
    await ws.reconnect();
    console.log('Reconnected successfully');
    
    // Re-subscribe to your channels
    // Note: You need to re-subscribe after reconnection
    await ws.subscribe({
      platform: 'polymarket',
      version: 1,
      type: 'orders',
      filters: {
        users: ['0x6031b6eed1c97e853c6e0f03ad3ce3529351f96d']
      }
    });
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Reconnection failed:', error);
  }
});

​
Reconnection with Subscription Restoration

Store your subscription configurations to restore them after reconnection: 
import { DomeWebSocket } from '@dome-api/sdk';

const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const ws = new DomeWebSocket(API_KEY, {
  autoReconnect: true,
  reconnectInterval: 5000
});

// Store subscription configs
const subscriptionConfigs = [
  {
    platform: 'polymarket',
    version: 1,
    type: 'orders',
    filters: {
      users: [
        '0x6031b6eed1c97e853c6e0f03ad3ce3529351f96d',
        '0x7c3db723f1d4d8cb9c550095203b686cb11e5c6b'
      ]
    }
  }
];

// Initial subscriptions
ws.on('open', async () => {
  for (const config of subscriptionConfigs) {
    const sub = await ws.subscribe(config);
    console.log('Subscribed:', sub.subscription_id);
  }
});

// Restore subscriptions on reconnect
ws.on('reconnect', async () => {
  console.log('Reconnected, restoring subscriptions...');
  for (const config of subscriptionConfigs) {
    const sub = await ws.subscribe(config);
    console.log('Restored subscription:', sub.subscription_id);
  }
});

// Handle events
ws.on('event', (event) => {
  console.log('Order event:', event.data);
});
