alphasquared-py

AlphaSquared Python Client

This is an unofficial Python client for the AlphaSquared API. It allows users to interact with the API to retrieve asset information, strategy values, and hypothetical data for cryptocurrency trading.

Features

• Easy-to-use Python wrapper for the AlphaSquared API
• Supports authentication using API tokens
• Implements rate limiting to comply with API usage rules
• Provides methods to retrieve asset information, strategy values, and hypothetical data
• Includes error handling and logging functionality
• Fetch comprehensive asset data (price, risk, market cap, etc.)
• Get custom strategy values
• Built-in caching to reduce API calls
• Automatic rate limiting to comply with API rules

Installation

Install the package using pip:

pip install alphasquared-py

Authentication

To use the AlphaSquared API, you need to obtain an API token from your AlphaSquared account dashboard. Once you have your token, you can authenticate as follows:

from alphasquared import AlphaSquared

api = AlphaSquared("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

Usage

Retrieving Asset Information

btc_info = api.get_asset_info("BTC")
print(btc_info)

Getting Strategy Values

strategy_values = api.get_strategy_values("My Custom Strat")
print(strategy_values)

Fetching Hypothetical Data

eth_hypotheticals = api.get_hypotheticals("ETH")
print(eth_hypotheticals)

Fetching Comprehensive Asset Data

btc_comprehensive = api.get_comprehensive_asset_data("BTC")
print(btc_comprehensive)

Getting Strategy Action and Value for a Specific Risk Level

action, value = api.get_strategy_value_for_risk("My Custom Strat", 50)
print(f"Action: {action}, Value: {value}")

Getting Current Risk Level

current_risk = api.get_current_risk("BTC")
print(current_risk)

Getting Strategy Action and Value Based on Current Risk

This example demonstrates how to get the current risk for an asset, then use that risk level to determine the strategy action and value:

# Get the current risk for BTC
btc_risk = api.get_current_risk("BTC")
print(f"Current BTC Risk: {btc_risk}")

# Define your strategy name in AlphaSquared
strategy_name = "My Custom Strat"

# Get the strategy action and value for the current risk
action, value = api.get_strategy_value_for_risk(strategy_name, btc_risk)
print(f"For risk {btc_risk}: Action = {action.upper()}, Value = {value}")

Error Handling

The client includes built-in error handling. You can check for errors in the API responses:

result = api.get_asset_info("INVALID_ASSET")
if api.has_error(result):
    print("An error occurred:", result["error"])

Rate Limiting

The client automatically handles rate limiting to ensure compliance with the API's usage rules (6 requests per minute).

Caching

The client uses caching to reduce the number of API calls. You can set the cache TTL (time-to-live) when initializing the client. The default cache TTL is 5 minutes.

api = AlphaSquared("YOUR_API_TOKEN", cache_ttl=300)  # 5 minutes
