bitfinexget

A small package to get history, easily download all avaliable history to csv or update current csv files

Installation

pip install bitfinexget

Example

To get current history(max 10000)

from bitfinexget import bitfinex

bitfinex = bitfinex()

bitfinex.get(1000)

Download history

Bitfinex limits latest history call to 10000. If you would like get older data it is more stricter. But you can specify a start and finish timestamp like below and get all 1h data under 5-10 minutes while respecting Bitfinex's api call limits. By default it'll download the entire history and you don't need to pass 'start' and 'end'

df = bitfinex.get_hist(['1h', 60])
df.to_csv('data/bitfinex_1h_downloaded.csv', index=False)

df = bitfinex.get_hist(['30m', 30], start=1464778000, end=int(time.time()))
df.to_csv('data/bitfinex_30m_downloaded.csv', index=False)

Select the gap (5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 3h, 6h, 12h) etc. and don't remember to change minutes equivalent, like ['15m', 15], ['3h', 240]

By default it will try to download all avaliable history up to current date. You can also specify any timestamp with 'start=1464778000' and 'end=1564778000'

Update csv file

bitfinex.update_csv('data/bitfinex_1h_downloaded.csv', times_to_get=[['1h', 60]]
bitfinex.update_csv('data/bitfinex_5m_downloaded.csv', times_to_get=[['5m', 5]]
