from kucoin.client import Client
client = Client(api_key, api_secret)

# get currencies
currencies = client.get_currencies()

# get market depth
depth = client.get_order_book('KCS-BTC', limit=50)

# get symbol klines
from_time = 1507479171
to_time = 1510278278
klines = client.get_kline_data_tv(
    'KCS-BTC',
    Client.RESOLUTION_1MINUTE,
    from_time,
    to_time
)

# place a buy order
transaction = client.create_buy_order('KCS-BTC', '0.01', '1000')

# get list of active orders
orders = client.get_active_orders('KCS-BTC')

# get historical kline data from any date range

# fetch 1 minute klines for the last day up until now
klines = client.get_historical_klines_tv("KCS-BTC", Client.KLINE_INTERVAL_1MINUTE, "1 day ago UTC")

# fetch 30 minute klines for the last month of 2017
klines = client.get_historical_klines_tv("ETH-BTC", Client.KLINE_INTERVAL_30MINUTE, "1 Dec, 2017", "1 Jan, 2018")

# fetch weekly klines since it listed
klines = client.get_historical_klines_tv("NEO-BTC", KLINE_INTERVAL_1WEEK, "1 Jan, 2017")
