crypto-candlesticks 📈

---

The goal behind this project is to facilitate downloading cryptocurrency candlestick data fast & simple. Currently only the Bitfinex exchange is supported with more to come in future releases.

The command-line interface is built using Click, which is intuitive and will prompt you for the commands.

Once the data is downloaded, it will be converted and stored in a .csv, .sqlite3 and .pickle file for convenient analysis. The data will include the Open, High, Low, Close of the candles and the volume during the interval and its timestamp.

See documentation and Github repository for more information.

Installation

To install the Crypto-candlesticks project, run this command in your terminal:

   pip install crypto-candlesticks

Or if you are using Poetry

    poetry add crypto-candlesticks

Usage

crypto-candlesticks can be used the following way:

    $ crypto-candlesticks
    "Welcome, what data do you wish to download?"

Which will prompt the following:

    Cryptocurrency symbol to download (ie. BTC, ETH, LTC):
    Base pair:
    Interval to download the candlestick data:
    Date to start downloading the data (ie. YYYY-MM-DD):
    Date up to the data will be downloaded (ie. YYYY-MM-DD):
