 ### Customise Logging
 Pass a custom logger which supports the log methods `silly`, `debug`, `notice`, `info`, `warning` and `error`, or override methods from the default logger as desired:
 
 ```js
-const { RestClient, WebsocketClient, DefaultLogger } = require('bybit-api');
+const { WebsocketClient, DefaultLogger } = require('bybit-api');
 
 // Disable all logging on the silly level
 DefaultLogger.silly = () => {};
 
-const ws = new WebsocketClient({key: 'xxx', secret: 'yyy'}, DefaultLogger);
+const ws = new WebsocketClient(
+  { key: 'xxx', secret: 'yyy' },
+  DefaultLogger
+);
 ```
