Premium metrics

In order to access real time data or historical data (older than 3 months), you'll need to set the api key and have some SAN tokens in your account. All premium metrics are free for "santiment" token.

Configuration

Optionally you can provide an api key which gives access to some premium metrics:

import san
san.ApiConfig.api_key = 'api-key-provided-by-sanbase'

To obtain an api key you should log in to sanbase and go to the account page - https://app.santiment.net/account. There is an API Keys section and a Generate new api key button.

If the account used for generating the api key has enough SAN tokens, the api key will give you access to the data that requires SAN token staking. The api key can only be used to fetch data and not to execute graphql mutations.

Retrieving data from the API

The data is fetched by providing a string in the format query/slug and additional parameters.

query: Available queries can be found in section: Available metrics
slug: A list of projects with their slugs, names, etc. can be fetched like this:

import san
san.get("projects/all")

                name             slug ticker   totalSupply
0             0chain           0chain    ZCN     400000000
1                 0x               0x    ZRX    1000000000
2          0xBitcoin            0xbtc  0xBTC      20999984
...

Parameters:

from_date, to_date - A date or datetime in iso8601 format specifying the start and end datetime for the returned data for ex: 2018-06-01
interval - The interval of the returned data - an integer followed by one of: s, m, h, d or w

Default values for parameters:

from_date: datetime.now() - 365 days
to_date: datetime.now()
interval: '1d'

The returned value for time-series data is in pandas DataFrame format indexed by datetime.

Fetch single metric

import san

san.get(
    "daily_active_addresses/santiment",
    from_date="2018-06-01",
    to_date="2018-06-05",
    interval="1d"
)

san.get(
    "prices/santiment",
    from_date="2018-06-01",
    to_date="2018-06-05",
    interval="1d"
)

Using the defaults params:

san.get("daily_active_addresses/santiment")
san.get("prices/santiment")

Batching multiple queries

from san import Batch

batch = Batch()

batch.get(
    "daily_active_addresses/santiment",
    from_date="2018-06-01",
    to_date="2018-06-05",
    interval="1d"
)

batch.get(
    "daily_active_addresses/santiment",
    from_date="2018-06-06",

Burn Rate - deprecated, replaced by 'Token Age Consumed'

Each transaction has an equivalent burn rate record. The burn rate is calculated by multiplying the number of tokens moved by the number of blocks in which they appeared. Spikes in burn rate could indicate large transactions or movement of tokens that have been held for a long time.

Premium metric

Burn rate returns the same results as 'Token Age Consumed' and will be removed in the near future.

Token Age Consumed
