Is there a way to get a trade history report from the Bitfinex API

Question

I'm using Bitfinex's WebSockets API v2 via their Node.JS package. I am not able to get a report on my trade history through the API. When I authenticate like below:

const BFX = require('bitfinex-api-node')

const bitfinexClient = new BFX(API_KEY, API_SECRET, {
  version: 2,
  transform: true
}).ws

bitfinexClient.on('open', () => {
  bws .auth()
})

The following code delivers nothing:

bitfinexClient.on('auth', () => {
  bitfinexClient.on('te', (data) => {
    console.log(data)
  })
})

Both v1 and v2 of the API return an error saying that fetchMyTrades/fetchMyOrders is not supported yet. How do I get it done?

You can still fetch your private trades from Bitfinex v1 with CCXT, like here:

"use strict";

const ccxt = require ('ccxt')

const exchange = new ccxt.bitfinex ({
    'apiKey': 'YOUR_API_KEY', // ←---- change your credentials
    'secret': 'YOUR_SECRET',
});

(async () => {
    await exchange.loadMarkets ()
    const myTrades = await exchange.private_post_mytrades ({
        'symbol': exchange.markets['BTC/USD'].id, // ←-- choose your pair
        'timestamp': exchange.seconds () - 86400 * 365, // ← last 365 days
    })
    console.log (myTrades)
}) ()
