A Python library for interacting with OpenAlgo's trading APIs with high-performance technical indicators
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
