pykrakenapi
===========

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.


Quick Start
-----------

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.


Example
-------

.. code:: python

    import krakenex
    from pykrakenapi import KrakenAPI
    api = krakenex.API()
    k = KrakenAPI(api)
    ohlc, last = k.get_ohlc_data("BCHUSD")
    print(ohlc)

>>> from pykrakenapi import KrakenAPI
>>> help(KrakenAPI)


FAQ
---

* **Why is my order not executed? Why can't I see my order in Kraken?**

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)


Development
-----------

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!
