A client library for accessing Unusual Whales API

Thank you @unusualwhales for providing an excellent api and for leaving your openapi schema unobfuscated from the network logs on your api documentation website :->)

For feature requests email [e-mail] - I do not provide support

Importing Modules

You can import modules using the following syntax:

from unusualwhales.client import Client from unusualwhales.api.[tag] import [function] from unusualwhales.models import [ModelNameHere] from unusualwhales.types import Response

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from unusualwhales.client import AuthenticatedClient
from unusualwhales.api.[tag] import [function]
from unusualwhales.models import [ModelNameHere]
from unusualwhales.types import Response

load_dotenv('/path/to/.env')
# This app requires an api token to included when initializing a new AuthenticatedClient
# you can use python-dotenv as shown here to save it in a .env file so that you
# do not have unsecured code
API_TOKEN = os.environ.get("UNUSUAL_WHALES_API_TOKEN", None)

client = AuthenticatedClient(base_url="https://api.unusualwhales.com", token=API_TOKEN)

import os

from dotenv import load_dotenv

from unusualwhales.client import AuthenticatedClient
from unusualwhales.models import TickerOptionsVolume
from unusualwhales.api.stock import getTickerOptionsVolume
from unusualwhales.types import Response

load_dotenv('/path/to/.env')
API_TOKEN = os.environ.get("UNUSUAL_WHALES_API_TOKEN", None)

client = AuthenticatedClient(base_url="https://api.unusualwhales.com", token=API_TOKEN)
with client as client:
    ticker_options_volume: Response[TickerOptionsVolume] = getTickerOptionsVolume.sync(client=client,ticker="AAPL",date="2024-05-03")
    for option_volume in ticker_options_volume:
        print(option_volume.strike, option_volume.volume)

Async Support

This library works with async await to handle non blocking i/o for better performance!

# same code as before but with async/await note that the function changes from sync_detailed to asyncio_detailed
# alternatively you can use sync and asyncio
from unusualwhales.client import AuthenticatedClient

async with client as client:
    ticker_options_volume: TickerOptionsVolume = await getTickerOptionsVolume.asyncio(client=client,ticker="AAPL",date="2024-05-03")
    for option_volume in ticker_options_volume:
        print(option_volume.strike, option_volume.volume)

Things to know:

1. Every path/method combo becomes a Python module with four functions:

   1. sync: Blocking request that returns parsed data (if successful) or None
   2. sync_detailed: Blocking request that always returns a Request, optionally with parsed set if the request was successful.
   3. asyncio: Like sync but async instead of blocking
   4. asyncio_detailed: Like sync_detailed but async instead of blocking

2. All path/query params, and bodies become method arguments.

Advanced customizations

There are more settings on the generated Client class which let you control more runtime behavior, check out the docstring on that class for more info. You can also customize the underlying httpx.Client or httpx.AsyncClient (depending on your use-case):

from unusual_whales_api_client import Client

def log_request(request):
    print(f"Request event hook: {request.method} {request.url} - Waiting for response")

def log_response(response):
    request = response.request
    print(f"Response event hook: {request.method} {request.url} - Status {response.status_code}")

client = Client(
    base_url="https://api.unusualwhales.com",
    httpx_args={"event_hooks": {"request": [log_request], "response": [log_response]}},
)
