Quick Start
A series of simple examples:
Get currentprice price for Bitcoin in json format
from coindesk.client import CoindeskAPIClient
api_client = CoindeskAPIClient.start('currentprice')
response = api_client.get()
Get currentprice price for Bitcoin in other currency than USD
from coindesk.client import CoindeskAPIClient
api_client = CoindeskAPIClient.start('currentprice', {'currency': 'EUR'})
response = api_client.get()
Get historical price for Bitcoin in json format
from coindesk.client import CoindeskAPIClient
api_client = CoindeskAPIClient.start('historical')
response = api_client.get()
Get historical price for Bitcoin providing optional parameters
from coindesk.client import CoinDeskAPIClient
api_client = CoindeskAPIClient.start('historical', {'currency': 'EUR', 'for': 'yesterday'})
response = api_client.get()
Make a request with custom parameters either for currentprice or historical
from coindesk.client import CoinDeskAPIClient
api_client = CoindeskAPIClient.start('currentprice', retries=5, redirects=False, timeout=10)
response = api_client.get()
Get raw http response either for currentprice or historical
from coindesk.client import CoinDeskAPIClient
api_client = CoindeskAPIClient.start('currentprice')
response = api_client.get(raw=True)
Get supported currencies to fetch Bitcoin price in
from coindesk.client import CoindeskAPIClient
api_client = CoindeskAPIClient()
supported_currencies = api_client.get_supported_currencies()
