Possible missing data? about gocryptotrader

[jsam]

Ok, scratch that. To answer my own question.

Backend actually does send the exchange event, it's just that there is a bug in tools/websocket_client. In line 183, instead of using WebsocketEventResponse type we should use WebsocketEvent type, cause in that case unmarshal actually works correctly. Before I send PR with a fix, can somebody confirm this?

Also, what's the best practice for timestamping ticker updates?

Hey @jsam, you are correct. If you wish to get exchange ticker/orderbook streamed using the websocket client, you'd want a WebsocketEvent type in for the loop. This way you'll get the exchange info. As for timestamping ticker updates, a solution would be to have a variable in the ticker.Price struct which has a time.Time var and is set to whenever a ticker item is created/updated.

Hey @jsam I'm already getting the exchange name from the ticker_update event.
So the message from the websocket is structured like:

{
data:any,
exchange:string,
error:any,
event:string
}

Or see my object here. I'm using the exchange property since its not contained within the data property

See here for where I map this object. It's what I use to render the selected exchange/currency here:

Timestamps are definitely missing though.

Thank you very much. I'll send a PR, after work.
