Python FTX API Sample Code

FTX is a cryptocurrency derivatives exchange.

This is a wrapper around the FTX API as described on FTX, including all features the API provides using clear and readable objects, both for the REST as the websocket API.

An unofficial Python3 library to interact with FTX.COM and FTX.US.

I am in no way affiliated with FTX, use at your own risk.

Change your API KEY and your SECRET KEY.

Restful Api Sample Code

from pyftx import Client

API = "your-api-key"
SECRET = "your-secret-key"
subaccount_name = "your-subaccount_name"

client = Client(API, SECRET, subaccount=subaccount_name)
info = client.get_markets()
print(info)

Websocket Sample Code

from pyftx import ThreadedWebsocketManager


def on_read(event):
    print(event)


API = "your-api-key"
SECRET = "your-secret-key"
subaccount_name = "your-subaccount_name"

wsm = ThreadedWebsocketManager(API, SECRET, subaccount=subaccount_name)
wsm.start()

# Un-auth subscribe - Public Channels
name = 'market_connection'
wsm.start_socket(on_read, socket_name=name)
wsm.subscribe(name, channel="ticker", op="subscribe", market="ETH-PERP")

# Auth subscribe - [filled](https://docs.ftx.com/#fills-2)
name = 'private_connection'
wsm.start_socket(on_read, socket_name=name)
wsm.login(socket_name=name)
wsm.subscribe(
    name,
    channel="fills",
    op="subscribe",
)

# Auth subscribe -[orders](https://docs.ftx.com/#orders-2)
ws_type = 'private_connection'
wsm.start_socket(on_read, socket_name=ws_type)
wsm.login(socket_name=ws_type)
wsm.subscribe(
    ws_type,
    channel="orders",
    op="subscribe",
)

Websocket with arguments

from pyftx import ThreadedWebsocketManager
from functools import partial

API = "your-api-key"
SECRET = "your-secret-key"
subaccount_name = "your-subaccount_name"

def on_message(event, argument):
    msg = "{}.event: {}".format(argument, event)
    print("on message: ", msg)
wsm = ThreadedWebsocketManager(API, SECRET, subaccount=subaccount_name)
wsm.start()
# Un-auth subscribe - Public Channels
subaccount_name = "Cuongitl"
callback_with_arguments = partial(on_message, argument=subaccount_name)
name = 'market_connection'
wsm.start_socket(callback_with_arguments, socket_name=name)
wsm.subscribe(name, channel="ticker", op="subscribe", market="ETH-PERP")
