hummingbot-api-client

An async Python client for the Hummingbot API with modular router support.

Installation

pip install hummingbot-api-client

Quick Start

import asyncio
from hummingbot_api_client import HummingbotAPIClient


async def main():
  # Using context manager (recommended)
  async with HummingbotAPIClient("http://localhost:8000", "admin", "admin") as client:
    # Get portfolio state
    portfolio = await client.portfolio.get_state()
    print(f"Portfolio value: ${sum(b['value'] for a in portfolio.values() for c in a.values() for b in c):.2f}")

    # List available connectors
    connectors = await client.connectors.list_connectors()
    print(f"Available connectors: {len(connectors)}")

    # Check Docker status

Advanced Usage

Error Handling

async with HummingbotClient("http://localhost:8000", "admin", "admin") as client:
    try:
        orders = await client.trading.search_orders({"limit": 10})
        print(f"Found {len(orders['data'])} orders")
    except aiohttp.ClientResponseError as e:
        print(f"API error: {e.status} - {e.message}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Unexpected error: {e}")

Pagination

async def get_all_orders(client):
    """Fetch all orders using pagination."""
    all_orders = []
    cursor = None
    
    while True:
        filter_request = {"limit": 100}
        if cursor:
            filter_request["cursor"] = cursor
            
        response = await client.trading.search_orders(filter_request)
        all_orders.extend(response["data"])
        
        pagination = response["pagination"]
        if not pagination["has_more"]:
            break
            
        cursor = pagination["next_cursor"]
    
    return all_orders

Custom Timeout

import aiohttp

# Create client with custom timeout
timeout = aiohttp.ClientTimeout(total=60)  # 60 seconds
client = HummingbotClient(
    "http://localhost:8000",
    "admin",
    "admin",
    timeout=timeout
)
