Glassnode API client that mimics the yfinance download experience.
Project description
✨ Feature Highlights
| Capability | Details |
|---|---|
| yfinance-like ergonomics | Single download() entry point covering period, interval, metrics, group_by, threads, progress, and more. |
| Metric alias registry | Built-in aliases for price, ohlc, marketcap, etc., plus the ability to mix in custom endpoint mappings. |
| Request resilience | Injects API keys automatically, supports proxy-aware requests.Session, and retries with exponential backoff on 429/50x responses. |
| Pandas-native output | DateTime index + MultiIndex columns flow directly into NumPy, pandas, polars, or backtesting engines. |
| Visualization ready | Bundled Plotly script launches a TradingView-style ETH/SOL dashboard with one command. |
📦 Installation
pip install glassnode-python # install from PyPI (v0.3.2+)
pip install -e .[test] # developer setup
pip install -e .[viz] # Plotly dashboard extras
If you prefer a local checkout, run pip install . from the repo root.
⚡ Quickstart (30 seconds)
from glassnode_python import download
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os
load_dotenv()
api_key = os.environ["GLASSNODE_API_KEY"]
btc = download("BTC", period="3mo", metrics=["price"], api_key=api_key)
print(btc.tail())
The helper returns a pandas dataframe with a DateTime index and a column MultiIndex of (Attribute, Ticker) by default.
🧰 Essential Recipes
Multi-asset OHLC (yfinance style)
rich = download(
["BTC", "ETH", "SOL"],
period="1y",
interval="24h",
metrics=["ohlc"],
group_by="ticker", # switch to (Ticker, Attribute)
threads=True,
api_key=api_key,
)
Mix & match metrics
matrix = download(
"BTC",
metrics=["price", "marketcap", "mvrv"],
period="6mo",
rounding=2,
dropna=True,
api_key=api_key,
)
Custom endpoint mapping
download(
"ETH",
metrics={
"sopr": {"endpoint": "/v1/metrics/market/sopr"},
"ohlc": None, # reuse built-in alias, columns become ohlc_open/high/low/close
"fees": {
"endpoint": "/v1/metrics/transactions/transfers_volume_sum",
"column": "TransferVolume",
},
},
api_key=api_key,
)
Column naming
- OHLC metrics expose lowercase
open/high/low/closecolumns. - All other metrics are renamed to the lowercase version of their alias (e.g.
price,myfees).
Full-control client
from glassnode_python import GlassnodeClient
import requests
session = requests.Session()
session.headers.update({"User-Agent": "glassnode-python/0.2"})
client = GlassnodeClient(
api_key=api_key,
session=session,
proxies={"https": "http://127.0.0.1:7890"},
max_retries=5,
retry_backoff=1.5,
)
df = client.download(
["BTC", "SOL"],
start="2025-01-01",
end="2025-12-31",
metrics=["price", "volume"],
progress=False,
)
📊 Metric Alias Catalog
| Alias | Endpoint | Columns |
|---|---|---|
ohlc |
/v1/metrics/market/price_usd_ohlc |
open, high, low, close |
price |
/v1/metrics/market/price_usd_close |
price |
marketcap |
/v1/metrics/market/marketcap_usd |
marketcap |
volume |
/v1/metrics/market/spot_volume_daily_sum |
volume |
mvrv |
/v1/metrics/market/mvrv |
mvrv |
realizedcap |
/v1/metrics/market/realizedcap_usd |
realizedcap |
Aliases respect group_by, rounding, and fill methods so the dataframe layout stays predictable.
📺 TradingView-like Dashboard
pip install -e .[viz]
python scripts/eth_sol_tradingview.py
- Fetches one year of daily OHLC candles for ETH and SOL (sequential mode to stay within rate limits).
- Adds ema20/ema50 overlays plus Plotly dark theme, linked hover, and full zoom/pan controls.
- Customize via the
EMA_WINDOWSconstant or export HTML withfig.write_html().
🔐 API Keys & Environment
echo "GLASSNODE_API_KEY=your-secret" >> .env
- If
api_keyis omitted, the module lazily loads.envon first use. - Pass
api_key=for one-off calls orclient=to reuse a configuredGlassnodeClient.
🧪 Testing & Release Flow
