pyfinex 1.0.3

Python wrapper for Bitfinex API v1 and v2

pyfinex

Python wrapper for Bitfinex API.

Dependencies

Requests library is required.

Usage

Include the pyfinex module and use it as a toolbox. For trading, a key and a secret key must be provided.

import pyfinex

API_KEY = 'insert key'
API_SECRET = 'insert secret'

resp = pyfinex.v1.positions.active(key=API_KEY, secret_key=API_SECRET)
resp = pyfinex.v1.public.ticker(symbol='btcusd')

Function names are organized for better coding

Function names are referred in part to the api doc's html, which you can see Bitfinex API web page. Required params to build the request's url are coded in the function's args, other query params are to be added acording to api doc

BEWARE: some inputs varies from v1 to v2. Example: v1>> 'BTCUSD' v2>> 'tBTCUSD'

All documented API calls are implemented!

Examples

Get the latest BTCUSD price

resp = pyfinex.v1.public.ticker(symbol='btcusd')

View your active orders

resp = pyfinex.v1.positions.active(API_KEY,API_SECRET)

Get the BTCUSD order book

resp = pyfinex.v1.public.order_book(symbol='btcusd')

Get the last BTCUSD 1m candle

resp = pyfinex.v2.public.candles(Symbol='tBTCUSD', TimeFrame='1m', Section='last')

Note: in v2 the parameters are capital case.

Submit a new order

For example, if you'd like to buy 0.001 BTC as 0.01 BTC/USD, you need to specify the parameters acording to the api doc. You may parse the response to get the order id for future use.

resp = pyfinex.v1.orders.new(symbol="BTCUSD", amount=0.001, price=0.01, side='buy', type='market')

In case there is a new call you can do it yourself!:

pyfinex.api.request(authenticate=True, 
    key=API_KEY, 
    secret_key=API_SECRET, 
    version=1, 
    endpoint='new/api/call/here', 
    method='POST', 
    body_params={}, 
    query_params={})

Test

1. Replace your keys in .env.example file, and rename it to .env
2. Include your unit tests as functions in a test_vX_*.py file

   def test_ticker():
       resp = pyfinex.v1.public.ticker(symbol='btcusd')
       resp['mid']
   

3. Run the tests using pytest
