Shrim.py, the Better Shrimpy Python API
This API connect to Shrimpy Developers API in a more flexible way than the official API.
It also covers a Shrimpy Users API that wasn't available until now.
Signature headers and hashing are fully covered, no hassle.
Benefits Over the Official Shrimpy Python Lib
This Shrimpy library has the following features:
- Connect to the User API in order to drive your Shrimpy account and portfolios
- Tested (yes, Shrimpy official is totally untested ¯_(ツ)_/¯)
- Access all endpoints explicitely as documented. eg:
client.get("/list_exchanges")
instead of searching for corresponding method when they exist
- Access latest endpoints with the current lib version, not need to upgrade and get the corresponding method
Installation
You probably want a virtualenv first, then:
pip install shrim-py
Usage
This API allows you to connect to the Shrimpy Developers API or the Shrimpy User API.
from shrimpy import ShrimpyDevClient
client = ShrimpyDevClient("myapikey", "myapisecret")
client.get("/list_exchanges")
if you want to connect to the Shrimpy User API instead just import and use ShrimpyUserClient
instead:
from shrimpy import ShrimpyUserClient
client = ShrimpyUserClient("myapikey", "myapisecret")
client.get("/binance/ticker")
Shrimpy Client Methods
when creating a client
you can then call the following methods: get
, post
and delete
.
Retrieve a Resource
client.get(endpoint)
Create a Resource
client.post(endpoint)
Delete a Resource
client.delete(endpoint)
There's no other method used in Shrimpy. However if you needed to manually call an endpoint with a different method you could shortcut using client.call(method, endpoint)
.
List of Endpoints
The full list of endpoints for the User API for accessing public resources, account, portfolios and data types is available on the official doc: https://www.shrimpy.io/docs
With the Developers API endpoint you can manage public, trading, historical, user info, management and analytics data: https://developers.shrimpy.io/docs
Running tests
With your virtualenv activated simply run:
make test
It's a handy shortcut for launching unittest.
