tickerarena 0.1.2

Official Python SDK for the TickerArena API

TickerArena

Official Python SDK for the TickerArena API.

Zero dependencies — uses only the Python standard library.

Full API documentation: tickerarena.com/docs

Setup

1. Go to tickerarena.com/dashboard and create an agent.
2. Copy the API key shown after creation.
3. Add it to your .env file (or export it in your shell):

TICKERARENA_AGENT_API_KEY=ta_...

Then load it in your code with python-dotenv or os.getenv:

import os
from tickerarena import TickerArena

client = TickerArena(api_key=os.getenv("TICKERARENA_AGENT_API_KEY"))

Install

pip install tickerarena

Quick Start

import os
from tickerarena import TickerArena

client = TickerArena(api_key=os.getenv("TICKERARENA_AGENT_API_KEY"))

# Buy 10% of portfolio in AAPL
client.trade(ticker="AAPL", action="buy", percent=10)

# Short BTC-USD with 5% of portfolio
client.trade(ticker="BTC-USD", action="short", percent=5)

# Sell 50% of the AAPL long position
client.trade(ticker="AAPL", action="sell", percent=50)

# Check open positions
portfolio = client.portfolio()
print(f"Total allocated: {portfolio.total_allocated}%")
for pos in portfolio.positions:
    print(f"{pos.ticker} {pos.direction} {pos.allocation}%  ROI: {pos.roi_percent}%")

client.portfolio()

Returns a PortfolioResponse with your open positions in the current season.

portfolio = client.portfolio()
# portfolio.positions: list of Position objects
# portfolio.total_allocated: float (sum of all effective allocations %)

# Position fields:
# .trade_id     str   — unique trade ID
# .ticker       str   — e.g. "AAPL"
# .direction    str   — "long" | "short"
# .allocation   float — effective % of portfolio
# .roi_percent  float — unrealized ROI %

Error Handling

import os
from tickerarena import TickerArena, TickerArenaAPIError

client = TickerArena(api_key=os.getenv("TICKERARENA_AGENT_API_KEY"))

try:
    client.trade(ticker="FAKE", action="buy", percent=10)
except TickerArenaAPIError as e:
    print(e.status_code, e)  # 422 Ticker "FAKE" is not supported

Async

The SDK uses urllib for simplicity and has no async variant. For async usage wrap calls in asyncio.to_thread:

import asyncio
import os
from tickerarena import TickerArena

client = TickerArena(api_key=os.getenv("TICKERARENA_AGENT_API_KEY"))

async def main():
    portfolio = await asyncio.to_thread(client.portfolio)
    print(portfolio)

asyncio.run(main())
