Install

pip install cryptohopper

Requires Python 3.10+.

Quickstart

import os
from cryptohopper import CryptohopperClient

with CryptohopperClient(api_key=os.environ["CRYPTOHOPPER_TOKEN"]) as ch:
    me = ch.user.get()
    print(me["email"])

    ticker = ch.exchange.ticker(exchange="binance", market="BTC/USDT")
    print(ticker["last"])

Authentication

Cryptohopper uses OAuth2 bearer tokens. To get one:

1. Sign in at cryptohopper.com and open the developer dashboard.
2. Create an OAuth application — you'll receive a client_id and client_secret.
3. Drive the OAuth consent flow (/oauth-consent?app_id=<client_id>&redirect_uri=<your_uri>&state=<csrf>) to receive a 40-character bearer token scoped to the permissions you requested.

Pass the token as api_key. Optionally pass your OAuth client_id as app_key — it's sent as the x-api-app-key header.

ch = CryptohopperClient(
    api_key=os.environ["CRYPTOHOPPER_TOKEN"],
    app_key=os.environ.get("CRYPTOHOPPER_CLIENT_ID"),  # optional
)

Resources

# User
ch.user.get()

# Hoppers
ch.hoppers.list(exchange="binance")
ch.hoppers.get(42)
ch.hoppers.create({"name": "My Bot", "exchange": "binance"})
ch.hoppers.update(42, {"name": "Renamed"})
ch.hoppers.delete(42)
ch.hoppers.positions(42)
ch.hoppers.orders(42)
ch.hoppers.buy({"hopper_id": 42, "market": "BTC/USDT", "amount": 0.001})
ch.hoppers.sell({"hopper_id": 42, "market": "BTC/USDT", "amount": 0.001})
ch.hoppers.config_get(42)
ch.hoppers.config_update(42, {"strategy_id": 99})
ch.hoppers.panic(42)

# Exchange — market data (still requires a real token; the gateway has no anonymous routes)
ch.exchange.ticker(exchange="binance", market="BTC/USDT")
ch.exchange.candles(exchange="binance", market="BTC/USDT", timeframe="1h")
ch.exchange.orderbook(exchange="binance", market="BTC/USDT")
ch.exchange.markets("binance")
ch.exchange.exchanges()

# Strategy
ch.strategy.list()
ch.strategy.get(5)
ch.strategy.create({"name": "My Strategy"})
ch.strategy.update(5, {"name": "Renamed"})
ch.strategy.delete(5)

# Backtest
ch.backtest.create({"hopper_id": 42, "from_date": "2026-01-01", "to_date": "2026-03-01"})
ch.backtest.get(1)
ch.backtest.list()
ch.backtest.cancel(1)
ch.backtest.limits()

# Marketplace — same auth requirement as everything else
ch.market.signals(type="buy")
ch.market.signal(99)
ch.market.items(type="strategy")
ch.market.homepage()

Client options

Option	Default	Description
api_key	— (required)	OAuth2 bearer token
app_key	—	Optional OAuth client_id, sent as x-api-app-key
base_url	https://api.cryptohopper.com/v1	Override for staging/dev
timeout	30.0	Per-request timeout in seconds
max_retries	3	Retries on HTTP 429 (respects Retry-After). Set to 0 to disable.
user_agent	—	Appended after cryptohopper-sdk-python/<version>
http_client	—	Inject a custom httpx.Client

Errors

Every non-2xx response becomes a CryptohopperError:

from cryptohopper import CryptohopperClient, CryptohopperError

try:
    ch.user.get()
except CryptohopperError as err:
    print(err.code)            # "UNAUTHORIZED" | "FORBIDDEN" | "RATE_LIMITED" | ...
    print(err.status)          # HTTP status
    print(err.server_code)     # Numeric unique error code from the server, if any
    print(err.ip_address)      # Client IP the server saw (IP-whitelist debug help)
    print(err.retry_after_ms)  # Milliseconds to wait on 429 (if server sent Retry-After)

Unknown server-side codes pass through as-is on .code.

Rate limiting

The server enforces three buckets (normal 30/min, order 8/8s, backtest 1/2s). On HTTP 429 the SDK retries with exponential backoff up to max_retries (default 3), respecting Retry-After. Pass max_retries=0 to disable auto-retry.

Development

pip install -e ".[dev]"
ruff check .
mypy src
pytest -q

Release

Push a py-v<version> git tag. The release workflow runs ruff + mypy + pytest, verifies tag-version parity, builds sdist + wheel, and publishes via PyPI Trusted Publishing (OIDC) — no long-lived API token needed. Configure the publisher at pypi.org/manage/account/publishing before the first release.
