Python library for algorithmic trading with OpenAlgo - Accounts, Orders, Strategy Management and Market Data APIs

Project description

OpenAlgo Python Library

A Python library for algorithmic trading using OpenAlgo's REST APIs. This library provides a comprehensive interface for order management, market data, account operations, and strategy automation.

Installation

pip install openalgo

Quick Start

from openalgo import api

# Initialize the client
client = api(
    api_key="your_api_key",
    host="http://127.0.0.1:5000"  # or your OpenAlgo server URL
)

API Categories

1. Strategy API

Strategy Management Module

OpenAlgo's Strategy Management Module allows you to automate your trading strategies using webhooks. This enables seamless integration with any platform or custom system that can send HTTP requests. The Strategy class provides a simple interface to send signals that trigger orders based on your strategy configuration in OpenAlgo.

from openalgo import Strategy
import requests

# Initialize strategy client
client = Strategy(
    host_url="http://127.0.0.1:5000",  # Your OpenAlgo server URL
    webhook_id="your-webhook-id"        # Get this from OpenAlgo strategy section
)

try:
    # Long entry (BOTH mode with position size)
    response = client.strategyorder("RELIANCE", "BUY", 1)
    print(f"Long entry successful: {response}")

    # Short entry
    response = client.strategyorder("ZOMATO", "SELL", 1)
    print(f"Short entry successful: {response}")

    # Close positions
    response = client.strategyorder("RELIANCE", "SELL", 0)  # Close long
    response = client.strategyorder("ZOMATO", "BUY", 0)     # Close short

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(f"Error sending order: {e}")

Strategy Modes:

  • LONG_ONLY: Only processes BUY signals for long-only strategies
  • SHORT_ONLY: Only processes SELL signals for short-only strategies
  • BOTH: Processes both BUY and SELL signals with position sizing

The Strategy Management Module can be integrated with:

  • Custom trading systems
  • Technical analysis platforms
  • Alert systems
  • Automated trading bots
  • Any system capable of making HTTP requests
