CoinGate API SDK (API v2)

The repo contains Python 3 SDK for CoinGate API v2. This is open source library is provided by SociumNET team and it is used in some internal projects.

Installation

You can install the library using PIP:

$ pip install coingate-api

Quick start

Try it:

from coingate_api import CoingateAPI


api = CoingateAPI(auth_token='your-auth-token', environment='sandbox')
print(api.ping())

Only replace "your-auth-token" to your token from CoinGate of CoinGate sandbox

How to

Default behavior of API uses retries for requests:

• 3 retries
• with back-off factor 0.2
• http statuses of response for retries: 500, 502, 504

You can change all these params by initialization of API client:

from coingate_api import CoingateAPI
api = CoingateAPI(auth_token='your-auth-token', environment='sandbox', 
                  retries=5, backoff_factor=0.5, status_forcelist=(500, 502, 504, 505))

Methods of API:

• api.test_connection() - tests authentication. Should return simple "OK"
• api.ping() - tests connection to server. Should return "pong"
• api.exchange_rate(from_='EUR', to='USD') - check documentation of API
• api.exchange_rates() - check documentation of API
• api.ip_addresses() - check documentation of API
• api.orders(per_page=100, page=1, sort='created_at_desc', **kwargs) - check documentation of API. Values of kwargs can contain also created_at_from and created_at_to
• api.checkout(order_id, pay_currency='BTC') - check documentation of API
• api.create_order(price_amount, price_currency, receive_currency, **kwargs) - check documentation of API. Values of kwargs can contain also order_id, title, description, callback_url, cancel_url, success_url, token

Exceptions

from coingate_api import CoingateAPI, api_error

api = CoingateAPI(auth_token='your-auth-token', environment='sandbox')

try:
    print(api.test_connection())
except api_error.APIError as e:
    print(e)
