Functionality

• A simple to use Python wrapper for both public and authenticated endpoints.
• Easy trading directly against Ethfinex Trustless, Bitfinex and Ethfinex orderbooks
• Simple parsing of data returned from the Ethfinex API

Under Development

• Better error handling
• Tests

Getting Started

This README is documentation on the syntax of the python client presented in this repository. See function docstrings for full syntax details. This API attempts to present a clean interface to Ethfinex, but in order to use it to its full potential, you must familiarize yourself with the official Ethfinex documentation.

• https://www.ethfinex.com/api_docs

You may manually install the project or use pip:

pip install ethfinex-python

# or

pip install git+git://github.com/shanefontaine/ethfinex-python.git

Public Client

Only some endpoints in the API are available to everyone. The public endpoints can be reached using PublicClient

import ethfinex
public_client = ethfinex.PublicClient()

PublicClient Methods

• get_platform_status

public_client.get_platform_status()

• get_ticker

# Get the ticker for a specific pair.
public_client.get_ticker('tBTCUSD')

• get_trades

# Get the trades for a specific pair
public_client.get_trades('tBTCUSD')
# To include a start and end time
public_client.get_trades('tBTCUSD', start=1514764800000, end=1514765700000)
# To reverse the order that data is delivered (old to new)
public_client.get_trades('tBTCUSD', start=1514764800000, end=1514765700000, sort=1)

• get_books

# Get the books for a specific pair
public_client.get_books('tBTCUSD')
# To get more or less granular precision
public_client.get_books('tBTCUSD', precision='P1')

• get_stats

# Get the stats for a specific pair
public_client.get_stats('tBTCUSD', 'funding.size', 'long', 'hist')
# To reverse the order that data is delivered (old to new)
public_client.get_stats('tBTCUSD', 'funding.size', 'long', 'hist', sort=1)

• get_candles

# Get the candles for a specific pair
public_client.get_candles('tBTCUSD', '1m', 'hist')
# To include a start and end time
public_client.get_candles('tBTCUSD', '1m', 'hist', start=1514764800000, end=1514765700000)
