python-kraken-sdk 0.5.1

Collection of clients and methods to interact with the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken.

Welcome to python-kraken-sdk

This is an unofficial Python collection of REST and websocket clients to interact with the Kraken exchange API.

There is no guarantee that this software will work flawlessly at this or later times. Everyone has to look at the underlying source code themselves and consider whether this is appropriate for their own use.

Of course, no responsibility is taken for possible profits or losses. No one should be motivated or tempted to invest his assets in speculative forms of investment.

Installation

python3 -m pip install python-kraken-sdk

Usage

REST

... can be found in /examples/examples.py

from kraken.spot.client import User, Market, Trade, Funding, Staking

def main() -> None:
    key = 'kraken pub key'
    secret = 'kraken secret key'

    user = User(key=key, secret=secret)
    print(user.get_account_balance())
    print(user.get_open_orders())

    market = Market(key=key, secret=secret)
    print(market.get_ticker(pair='BTCUSD'))
    
    trade = Trade(key=key, secret=secret)
    print(trade.create_order(
         ordertype='limit',
         side='buy',
         volume=1,
         pair='BTC/EUR',
         price=20000
    ))
    
    funding = Funding(key=key, secret=secret)
    print(funding.withdraw_funds(asset='DOT', key='MyPolkadotWallet', amount=200))
    print(funding.cancel_widthdraw(asset='DOT', refid='<some id>'))

    staking = Staking(key=key, secret=secret)
    print(staking.list_stakeable_assets())
    print(staking.stake_asset(asset='DOT', amount=20, method='polkadot-staked'))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Websockets

... can be found in /examples/ws_examples.py

import asyncio
from kraken.spot.client import WsClient
from kraken.spot.websocket.websocket import KrakenSpotWSClient

async def main() -> None:

    key = 'kraken public key'
    secret = 'kraken secret key'

    class Bot(KrakenSpotWSClient):

        async def on_message(self, msg) -> None:
            if 'event' in msg:
                if msg['event'] in ['pong', 'heartbeat': return

            print(msg)
            # await self._client.create_order(
            #     ordertype='limit',
            #     side='buy',
            #     pair='BTC/EUR',
            #     price=20000,
            #     volume=1
            # )
            # ... it is also possible to call regular REST endpoints
            # but using the websocket messages is more efficient

    bot = Bot(WsClient(key=key, secret=secret))
    await bot.subscribe(pair=['BTC/EUR'], subscription={ 'name': 'ticker' }, private=False)
    await bot.subscribe(subscription={ 'name': 'ownTrades' }, private=True)

    while True: await asyncio.sleep(6)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())

What else?

Logging

Logging messages are enabled, so you can configure your own logger to track every event. One example can be found in /examples/examples.py.
