ostium-python-sdk 0.1.19

A python based SDK developed for interacting with Ostium, a leveraged trading application for trading currencies, commodities, indices, crypto and more.

Ostium Python SDK

A python based SDK developed for interacting with Ostium v1 Trading Platform (https://ostium.app/)

Ostium is a decentralized perpetuals exchange on Arbitrum (Ethereum L2) with a focus on providing a seamless experience for traders for trading currencies, commodities, indices, crypto and more.

This SDK is designed to be used by developers who want to build applications on top of Ostium and automate their trading strategies.

Installation

The SDK can be installed via pip:

pip install ostium-python-sdk

Requirements

Developed using:

  python=3.8

SDK Instantiation

You can instantiate the SDK with the following parameters. Ostium Platform is deployed on Arbitrum. You can use the testnet or mainnet config via the NetworkConfig class, see below for an example.

from dotenv import load_dotenv
from ostium_python_sdk import OstiumSDK, NetworkConfig

# Load environment variables if using .env file
load_dotenv()

# Get private key from environment variable
private_key = os.getenv('PRIVATE_KEY')
if not private_key:
    raise ValueError("PRIVATE_KEY not found in .env file")

rpc_url = os.getenv('RPC_URL')
if not rpc_url:
    raise ValueError("RPC_URL not found in .env file")

# Initialize SDK
configTestnet = NetworkConfig.testnet()
configMainnet = NetworkConfig.mainnet()
sdk = OstiumSDK(configTestnet, private_key)
sdk = OstiumSDK(configMainnet, private_key)

NOTE: create a .env file with PRIVATE_KEY and RPC_URL to use the SDK. An RPC URL is required to use the SDK. You can get one by signing up for a free account at https://www.alchemy.com/ and creating an app.

PRIVATE_KEY=your_private_key_here
RPC_URL=https://arb-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/...
#RPC_URL="https://arb-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/...",

your_private_key_here should be a valid EVM private key for an account on either Arbitrum (mainnet) or Arbitrum Sepolia (testnet), depending on which network you plan to use. Make sure to save it in a secure location, and that the .env file is not shared with anyone or committed to a public repository (make sure you add it to .gitignore if you are pushing your code).

The SDK contains the following classes:

• OstiumSDK: The main class for interacting with the Ostium Platform.

• NetworkConfig: The class for configuring the network.

• Balance: The class for interacting with the account, fetching balance, etc. available via sdk.balance.

• SubgraphClient: The class for interacting with the subgraph, getting pair details, open trades, open orders,etc. available via sdk.subgraph.

• Price: The class for interacting with the price, fetching latest price, etc. available via sdk.price

• Ostium: The class for interacting with the Ostium Smart contracts, opening trades, updating take profit and stop loss, closing trades, opening orders, etc. available via sdk.ostium.

Basic Usage

The intraction with Ostium platform is denoted with pair_id and trade_index.

• pair_id: The id of the pair, available via sdk.subgraph.get_pairs()
• trade_index: The index of the trade for this trader on the pair, available via sdk.subgraph.get_open_trades()

List of available pairs (Mainnet, as of Jnuary 2025)

ID	Trading Pair	Description
0	BTC-USD	Bitcoin
1	ETH-USD	Ethereum
2	EUR-USD	Euro
3	GBP-USD	British Pound
4	USD-JPY	US Dollar to Japanese Yen
5	XAU-USD	Gold
6	HG-USD	Copper
7	CL-USD	Crude Oil
8	XAG-USD	Silver
9	SOL-USD	Solana
10	SPX-USD	S&P 500 Index

Usage Example

Opening a Trade, Reading Open Trades, Setting Take Profit and Stop Loss, Closing a Trade

from ostium_python_sdk import OstiumSDK

# Load environment variables if using .env file
load_dotenv()

# Get private key from environment variable

# Initialize SDK

# Or initialize with explicit private key & rpc url

  # Wait for the transaction to be confirmed
  await asyncio.sleep(10)

  # Get public address from private key

  else:
      opened_trade = open_trades[len(open_trades) - 1]
      print(f"Opened trade: {opened_trade}\n")

      sdk.ostium.update_tp(
          opened_trade['pair']['id'], opened_trade['index'], latest_price * 1.02)
      print(f"Trade Take Profit set to 2% above the current price!\n")

      await asyncio.sleep(10)

      sdk.ostium.update_sl(
          opened_trade['pair']['id'], opened_trade['index'], latest_price * 0.99)

      await asyncio.sleep(10)

      receipt = sdk.ostium.close_trade(
          opened_trade['pair']['id'], opened_trade['index'])
      print(
          f"Closed trade! Transaction hash: {receipt['transactionHash'].hex()}\n")



except Exception as e:
  print(f"Trade failed: {str(e)}")
