Trades stream setup

Question

I have setup streams for transactions, payments, operations, and effects with the method from stellar api guide:

this.server = new StellarSdk.Server('https://horizon.stellar.org');

this.stream = this.server.transactions()
.cursor('now')
.stream({
  onmessage: function (message) {
    console.log(message);
  }
});

I noticed that a lot of the operations stream show manage offers detailing trades that are happening. I'm looking to get a stream of complete trades occurring on the network.

Using this.stream = this.server.trades().stream gives me this error:

Using Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at https://horizon.stellar.org/trades.

According to the Stellar Laboratory, this should work unless the stream functionality for trades isn't implemented yet.

Answer 1

The following code works with JS StellarSDK 0.8.0:

this.server.trades().cursor('now').stream({
    onmessage: function (message) {
        console.log(message)
    }
})

It does not throw errors (as TradesCallBuilder is inherited from CallBuilder that features .stream() method), but it never receives any messages either.

I assume that you are right, and streaming mode is not implemented in /trades Horizon endpoint.
