pyexchange

Python API wrappers for some cryptocurrency exchanges.

https://chat.makerdao.com/channel/keeper

Getting Started

Run the following commands:

git submodule update --init --recursive
bash ./install.sh
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$PWD:$PWD/lib/pymaker
source _virtualenv/bin/activate

Key facts

• These API wrappers expose only those endpoints which were necessary to implement market-maker-keeper (https://github.com/makerdao/market-maker-keeper), market-maker-stats (https://github.com/makerdao/market-maker-stats) and sync-trades. Due to it they cover most only order placement, order cancellation, reading balances and open orders, and retrieving past trade history.

• This library depends on pymaker because IDEX integration involves interacting with its smart contract. In addition to that, other exchange APIs use the Wad class which is defined pymaker.

• There is almost no test coverage as of today. The exception is some part of the IDEX API.

• If you are looking for more supported exchanges and/or more features, a please have a look at ccxt (https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt). It's a JavaScript / Python / PHP library which supports huge number of venues and also has more features than pyexchange.
