cryptohftdata 0.1.8

Python SDK for accessing cryptocurrency high-frequency trading data

CryptoHFTData Python SDK

A Python SDK for accessing cryptocurrency high-frequency trading data with a simple and intuitive API.

Installation

pip install cryptohftdata

Quick Start

import cryptohftdata as chd

# Get kline/candlestick data
klines = chd.get_klines("BTCUSDT", chd.exchanges.BINANCE_FUTURES, "2025-01-01", "2025-02-01")

# Get orderbook data
orderbook = chd.get_orderbook("ETHUSDT", chd.exchanges.BYBIT_SPOT, "2025-01-01", "2025-02-01")

# Get trade data
trades = chd.get_trades("BTCUSDT", chd.exchanges.BINANCE_SPOT, "2025-01-01", "2025-01-02")

# All methods return pandas DataFrames ready for analysis
print(klines.head())
print(f"Average price: ${klines['close'].mean():.2f}")

Discover available symbols

Before requesting market data you can query which symbols are currently downloadable for every exchange without scanning object storage yourself. Use the list_symbols helper, optionally filtering by data type when you only care about trades, orderbooks, klines, etc. Results are served from the API's 24-hour edge cache, so repeated calls stay fast and inexpensive while still picki ng up new listings once per day.

import cryptohftdata as chd

# Fetch every Bybit spot symbol supported by the dataset
symbols = chd.list_symbols("bybit_spot")

# Optionally narrow to a specific data type such as orderbooks
orderbook_symbols = chd.list_symbols("binance_futures", data_type="orderbook")

print(f"Found {len(symbols)} Bybit spot markets")

Development

Setting up the development environment

git clone https://github.com/cryptohftdata/sdk.git
cd sdk/python
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Running tests

To run the test suite, navigate to the sdk/python directory and use one of the following commands:

Using pytest (recommended):

pytest

This command will automatically use the configurations specified in pyproject.toml, including test paths and coverage options.

If you need to target a specific test file or directory, you can do so, but be mindful of the addopts in pyproject.toml:

pytest tests/test_client.py

Tip: Always install the SDK in editable mode before running tests so the suite exercises your local code: pip install -e ".[dev]". This also ensures the bundled coverage configuration works because pytest-cov is available.

If you don't have pytest or prefer to use the built-in unittest module:

python -m unittest discover tests

Make sure you have an active virtual environment with development dependencies installed. Some tests might require a CRYPTOHFTDATA_API_KEY environment variable to be set for tests that interact with the live API.
