pykrakenapi 0.0.4

A Python implementation of the Kraken API.

Implements the Kraken API methods using the low-level krakenex python package. See

https://www.kraken.com/help/api

and

https://github.com/veox/python3-krakenex

Whenever convenient, methods return pandas.DataFrame objects. Also implements a call rate limiter based on your Kraken tier level.

Quick Start

pykrakenapi can be installed via pip from PyPI

$ pip install pykrakenapi

Then, import and get started with:

>>> from pykrakenapi import KrakenAPI
>>> help(KrakenAPI)

pykrakenapi requires Python >= 3.3, krakenex >= 2.0.0 and pandas. These requirements should be installed automatically via pip.

Example

import krakenex
from pykrakenapi import KrakenAPI
api = krakenex.API()
k = KrakenAPI(api)
ohlc, last = k.get_ohlc_data("BCHUSD")
print(ohlc)
