Implements the Kraken API methods using the low-level krakenex python package. See
https://www.kraken.com/help/api
and
https://github.com/veox/python3-krakenex
Whenever convenient, methods return pandas.DataFrame objects. Also implements a call rate limiter based on your Kraken tier level, as well as automatic retries on HTTPErrors/Kraken API Errors.
pykrakenapi can be installed via pip from
PyPI <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pykrakenapi>_
::
$ pip install pykrakenapi
Then, import and get started with::
from pykrakenapi import KrakenAPI help(KrakenAPI)
pykrakenapi requires Python >= 3.3, krakenex >= 2.0.0 and pandas. These requirements should be installed automatically via pip.
.. code:: python
import krakenex
from pykrakenapi import KrakenAPI
api = krakenex.API()
k = KrakenAPI(api)
ohlc, last = k.get_ohlc_data("BCHUSD")
print(ohlc)

See the docstrings of the methods of the KrakenAPI class.
from pykrakenapi import KrakenAPI help(KrakenAPI)
Kraken's API "Add standard order" call enables a validate only feature that
defaults to True here. In order to have your order executed, try with
validate=False.
.. code:: python
k.add_standard_order(pair="ATOMXBT", type="buy", ordertype="limit", volume="420.0", price="0.00042", validate=False)
This package should be considered beta state, since some methods have not been properly tested yet. Contributions in any way, shape or form are welcome!
