mangroveai 1.4.0

Python SDK for the MangroveAI trading strategy platform

MangroveAI Python SDK

Python SDK for the MangroveAI trading strategy platform.

Install

pip install mangrove-ai

Migrating from mangroveai (the pre-1.0 package name)? Two changes:

- pip install mangroveai
+ pip install mangrove-ai

- from mangroveai import MangroveAI
+ from mangrove_ai import MangroveAI

Everything else (the MangroveAI client class, every method name, every model name) is unchanged. The old mangroveai PyPI package will receive a final 0.3.2 release with a DeprecationWarning and then stop receiving updates. See CHANGELOG.md [1.0.0] for the full rationale.

Setup

1. Create an account at mangrovedeveloper.ai
2. Navigate to Settings > API Keys
3. Generate a new API key
4. Set it as an environment variable:

export MANGROVE_API_KEY=prod_your_key_here

Quickstart

from mangrove_ai import MangroveAI

client = MangroveAI()  # reads MANGROVE_API_KEY from environment

# List trading signals
signals = client.signals.list(limit=10)
for s in signals.items:
    print(f"{s.name} ({s.category}, {s.signal_type})")

# Get market data
btc = client.crypto_assets.get_market_data("BTC")
print(f"BTC: ${btc.data['current_price']:,.2f}")

# Create a strategy
from mangrove_ai.models import CreateStrategyRequest

strategy = client.strategies.create(CreateStrategyRequest(
    name="RSI Momentum",
    asset="BTC",
    entry=[{"name": "rsi_oversold", "signal_type": "TRIGGER",
            "timeframe": "1d", "params": {"window": 14, "threshold": 30}}],
))

# Run a backtest
import json
from mangrove_ai.models import BacktestRequest

result = client.backtesting.run(BacktestRequest(
    asset="BTC",
    interval="1d",
    strategy_json=json.dumps({"name": "test", "asset": "BTC",
        "entry": [{"name": "rsi_oversold", "signal_type": "TRIGGER",
                    "timeframe": "1d", "params": {"window": 14, "threshold": 30}}],
        "exit": []}),
    lookback_months=3,
    initial_balance=10000,
    min_balance_threshold=0.1, min_trade_amount=25,
    max_open_positions=3, max_trades_per_day=10,
    max_risk_per_trade=0.02, max_units_per_trade=1000000,
    max_trade_amount=10000000, volatility_window=24,
    target_volatility=0.1,
    # Optional: per-timeframe cooldown configuration (preferred over legacy flat fields).
    # Keys are the primary timeframe; each value carries max_hold_time_hours,
    # short_loss_limit, long_loss_limit, short_window_bars, and long_window_bars.
    cooldown_config={
        "1d": {
            "max_hold_time_hours": 10,
            "short_loss_limit": 4,
            "long_loss_limit": 6,
            "short_window_bars": 20,
            "long_window_bars": 60,
        }
    },
))
print(f"Trades: {result.trade_count}, Sharpe: {result.metrics.get('sharpe_ratio')}")

On-chain capability surface

client.on_chain covers Mangrove's full Nansen Pro plan plus WhaleAlert Enterprise:

Method	Source	What it returns
get_smart_money_sentiment(symbol)	Nansen	Single-token accumulation/distribution score
screen_smart_money(chains, timeframe)	Nansen	Tokens with high smart-money activity
get_smart_money_historical_holdings(chains, date_range, filters, order_by)	Nansen	Date-stamped holdings snapshots
get_smart_money_dex_trades(chains, filters, order_by)	Nansen	Live DEX trades by smart-money wallets
get_smart_money_perp_trades(filters, order_by)	Nansen (Hyperliquid)	Perpetual-futures trades by smart-money wallets
get_token_holders(symbol)	Nansen	Holder distribution + concentration
get_token_dex_trades(symbol, chain, date_range, filters, order_by)	Nansen	Single-token DEX trades across all participants
get_token_flows(symbol, chain, date_range, filters, order_by)	Nansen	Per-wallet-category flow aggregation (excludes stablecoins)
get_whale_transactions(symbol, min_value, hours_back)	WhaleAlert	Recent large-value on-chain transactions
get_exchange_flows(symbol, hours_back)	WhaleAlert	Aggregated exchange inflows/outflows
get_whale_activity(symbol, hours_back)	WhaleAlert	High-level whale activity summary

filters and order_by pass through directly to the upstream Nansen API, so you get the full Pro-plan capability — restrict by include_smart_money_labels, set value_usd min/max bounds, sort by any field. See examples/on_chain_nansen.py for working snippets.

Environment Detection

The SDK auto-detects the environment from your API key prefix:

Prefix	Environment	API Base URL
prod_	Production	https://api.mangrovedeveloper.ai/api/v1
dev_	Development	https://devapi.mangrove.trade/api/v1

Override with explicit parameters:

client = MangroveAI(api_key="...", base_url="http://localhost:5001/api/v1")

Error Handling

from mangrove_ai import MangroveAI, NotFoundError, RateLimitError, APIError

client = MangroveAI()

try:
    strategy = client.strategies.get("nonexistent-id")
except NotFoundError as e:
    print(f"Not found: {e.message} (correlation_id={e.correlation_id})")
except RateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limited, retry after {e.retry_after}s")
except APIError as e:
    print(f"[{e.status_code}] {e.code}: {e.message}")

Pagination

Paginated endpoints return PaginatedResponse[T]:

# Single page
page = client.strategies.list(skip=0, limit=10)
print(f"Showing {len(page.items)} of {page.total}")

# Auto-paginate all items
for strategy in client.strategies.list_iter():
    print(strategy.name)
