Documentation

This sdk makes use of the api of Notbank.

Quick start

Client creation

There are two communication protocols supported by the Notbank client. Communication via websocket, and via rest. Communication via websocket requires connection and permits subscriptions, other than that they are equivalent.

from notbank_python_sdk.requests_models import *
from notbank_python_sdk.client_connection_factory import new_websocket_client_connection, new_rest_client_connection
from notbank_python_sdk.error import NotbankException
from notbank_python_sdk.notbank_client import NotbankClient

# a websocket client
try:
    websocket_connection = new_websocket_client_connection()
    websocket_connection.connect()
    client = NotbankClient(websocket_connection)

    # an http client
    rest_connection = new_rest_client_connection()
    client = NotbankClient(rest_connection)
except NotbankException as e:
    print(e)

Error handling

All internal notbank client and notbank server errors inherit from NotbankException, and all client methods may throw it (e.g. invalid request, request timeout, ...)

# client : NotbankClient : ....
try:
    orderbook = client.get_order_book(OrderBookRequest("BTCUSDT", 1, 1))
except NotbankException as e:
    print(e)

Put order at the top of book example

else:
    # order was accepted
    order_id = response.order_id
    print(order_id)

# disconnect
client.close()

Websocket reconnection

The websocket client reconnects automatically in case of unexpected disconnection.

On reconnection the client resubscribes to what it was already subscribed before the reconnection. This means that the on_snapshot handler of subscriptions will be called once per reconnection, and on_update handlers will be continuoslly called before and after reconnections.

authentication is also kept on reconnection, by re-authenticating the new connection with the last authentication request instance
