shrimpy-python

The official python library for the Shrimpy Developer API https://developers.shrimpy.io/docs. The library is currently only python3 compatible.

Installation

pip install shrimpy-python

Quick Start

All requests are synchronous. For a comprehensive API usage guide, please see https://developers.shrimpy.io/docs.

If you would like to use the async/await style similar to our Node.js library, consider using the asyncio python library to wrap the synchronous requests provided here.

import shrimpy

public_key = 'bea8edb348af226...'
secret_key = 'df84c39fb49026dcad9d99...'
client = shrimpy.ShrimpyApiClient(public_key, secret_key)
ticker = client.get_ticker('bittrex')

Public Endpoints

The clients for both the public and authenticated endpoints are identical. Please note that if you attempt to use the authenticated endpoints without keys, it will fail.

• get_supported_exchanges

supported_exchanges = client.get_supported_exchanges()

• get_exchange_assets

exchange_assets = client.get_exchange_assets('bittrex')

• get_trading_pairs

trading_pairs = client.get_trading_pairs('bittrex')

Market Data Methods

• get_ticker

ticker = client.get_ticker('bittrex')

• get_orderbooks

orderbooks = client.get_orderbooks(
    'bittrex',  # exchange
    'XLM',      # base_symbol
    'BTC',      # quote_symbol
    10          # limit
)

• get_candles

candles = client.get_candles(
    'bittrex',  # exchange
    'XLM',      # base_trading_symbol
    'BTC',      # quote_trading_symbol
    '15m'       # interval
)

Authenticated Endpoints

As mentioned above, please use the provided Shrimpy API keys to access the authenticated endpoints. Endpoints such as user management require the master api key, while endpoints such as trading will work with either a master api key or a user api key.

Websocket

Users can access the Shrimpy websocket feed using the ShrimpyWsClient class. A handler must be passed in on subscription that is responsible for processing incoming messages from the websocket stream. It is recommended that you simply send the message to another processing thread from your custom handler to prevent blocking the incoming message stream.

The client handles pings to the Shrimpy server based on the API Documentation
