Python Example

Here is a basic example of getting data using the python SDK.

from pprint import pprint
from datetime import datetime, timezone
from tickerdax.client import TickerDax

client = TickerDax()
pprint(client.get_route(
    route='/order-book/binance',
    symbols=["BTC"],
    start=datetime.now(tz=timezone.utc),
    end=datetime.now(tz=timezone.utc)
))

Note that if this data doesn't exist in your cache, the data will be fetched from the REST API. All subsequent calls to the same data will only be from the cache and not the REST API. This is designed give you lighting fast responses and ultimately deliver data to you a cheaper cost.

The package also has a command line interface.
