async-rithmic 1.6.3

Python API Integration with Rithmic Protocol Buffer API

Python Rithmic API

async_rithmic is a modern, high-performance Python API for the Rithmic trading platform. Built with an async-first architecture, it enables robust, scalable access to Rithmic's Protocol Buffer interface for both live trading and real-time market data.

Designed with reliability and extensibility in mind, async_rithmic is a strong foundation for advanced trading systems requiring:

• Low-latency connectivity
• Real-time streaming capabilities
• Fault-tolerant, long-running operation
• Full control over order management and data handling

✨ Key Features

• ✅ Python 3.10+ Compatibility: Fully tested and supported.
• ⚡ Async-first design: Better scalability & responsiveness.
• 🛠️ Robust architecture: Built-in reconnection & fault-tolerance.
  • Automatic reconnection: Resilient to network interruptions with customizable backoff and retry logic.
  • Automatic retries: Configure how many times a slow request will be retried and for how long, making your client more resilient to network delays and backend slowness.
• 👥 Multi-account support
• 📊 Historical + Live Time Bars: Ideal for time-based strategies.
• 🎯 Live Tick Data & Best Bid/Ask Streaming: Fine-grained market data for real-time decision-making.
• 🪟 Full Order Book (L2) Streaming: Stream real-time depth of market (all bids/asks, multiple price levels) for advanced order flow analysis.

📦 Installation

pip install async_rithmic

🧠 Using it in Production

This library handles connectivity and streaming with Rithmic, but it does not solve higher-level concerns such as failure handling or ensuring correctness under load.
