Advanced tools
This is the Python SDK for the Vertex Protocol API.
See SDK docs to get started.
You can install the SDK via pip:
pip install vertex-protocol
from vertex_protocol.client import create_vertex_client, VertexClientMode
from vertex_protocol.contracts.types import DepositCollateralParams
from vertex_protocol.engine_client.types.execute import (
OrderParams,
PlaceOrderParams,
SubaccountParams
)
from vertex_protocol.utils.expiration import OrderType, get_expiration_timestamp
from vertex_protocol.utils.math import to_pow_10, to_x18
from vertex_protocol.utils.nonce import gen_order_nonce
print("setting up vertex client...")
private_key = "xxx"
client = create_vertex_client(VertexClientMode.MAINNET, private_key)
# Depositing collaterals
print("approving allowance...")
approve_allowance_tx_hash = client.spot.approve_allowance(0, to_pow_10(100000, 6))
print("approve allowance tx hash:", approve_allowance_tx_hash)
print("querying my allowance...")
token_allowance = client.spot.get_token_allowance(0, client.context.signer.address)
print("token allowance:", token_allowance)
print("depositing collateral...")
deposit_tx_hash = client.spot.deposit(
DepositCollateralParams(
subaccount_name="default", product_id=0, amount=to_pow_10(100000, 6)
)
)
print("deposit collateral tx hash:", deposit_tx_hash)
# Placing orders
print("placing order...")
owner = client.context.engine_client.signer.address
product_id = 1
order = OrderParams(
sender=SubaccountParams(
subaccount_owner=owner,
subaccount_name="default",
),
priceX18=to_x18(20000),
amount=to_pow_10(1, 17),
expiration=get_expiration_timestamp(OrderType.POST_ONLY, int(time.time()) + 40),
nonce=gen_order_nonce(),
)
res = client.market.place_order({"product_id": product_id, "order": order})
print("order result:", res.json(indent=2))
