krakenforwarder 0.8

Forwards trades from Kraken.com to TCP port

krakenforwarder

This Python program listens to trades from Crypto-exchange platform Kraken (https://www.kraken.com) and forwards them on a TCP port so you can plug in anything, like a live algorithmic trader or a live analysis tool.

Installation

pip3 install krakenforwarder

Usage

Launch the forwarder in sub-process, then listen

import time
from multiprocessing import Process

from krakenforwarder.forwarder import KrakenForwarder
from krakenforwarder.listener import listen
from krakenforwarder.util import *

cfg_forwarders = [
    {
        F_PULL_PERIOD: 5,  # in seconds
        F_ASSET_PAIR: 'XXBTZEUR',  # see https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000920306-Ticker-pairs
        F_TYPE: V_SPOT,
        F_ZMQ_PUBLISH_PORT: 5555
    },
    {
        F_PULL_PERIOD: 5,  # in seconds
        F_ASSET_PAIR: 'XETHZEUR',  # see https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000920306-Ticker-pairs
        F_TYPE: V_SPOT,
        F_ZMQ_PUBLISH_PORT: 5556
    },
]

cfg_listener = {
    F_KEY_ZMQ_HOSTNAME: 'localhost',
    F_ZMQ_PUBLISH_PORT: [cfg[F_ZMQ_PUBLISH_PORT] for cfg in cfg_forwarders]
}

proc_forwarders = []
for cfg in cfg_forwarders:
    kraken_forwarder = KrakenForwarder(cfg)
    forward_process = Process(target=kraken_forwarder.forward)
    proc_forwarders.append(forward_process)

for proc in proc_forwarders:
    proc.start()

time.sleep(1)

for msg in listen(cfg_listener):
    print(msg)

for proc in proc_forwarders:
    proc.join()

This prints trades in console:

To call forward contracts, instead use

from krakenforwarder.util import *
cfg_forwarders = [
    {
        F_PULL_PERIOD: 5,  # in seconds
        F_ASSET_PAIR: 'pi_xbtusd',
        F_TYPE: V_FUTURES,
        # see https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022839531-Tickers for possible choices
        F_ZMQ_PUBLISH_PORT: 5557
    },
