Poloniex API wrapper for Python 2.7 & 3

Primary LanguagePythonGNU General Public License v2.0GPL-2.0

An API wrapper for Poloniex.com written in Python

#####poloniex.py - Tested on Python 2.7.12 & 3.5.2 Inspired by this wrapper written by 'oipminer'

Features:

  • ApiKey and Secret are optional if used for just public commands.
  • Api Commands have been 'mapped' into methods within the Poloniex class for your convenience.
  • Raises ValueError if the command supplied does not exist or if the api keys are not defined
  • The poloniex.Poloniex() object has an optional 'timeout' attribute/arg that adjusts the number of seconds to wait for a response from polo (default = 3 sec)
  • Optional api 'coach' can restrict the amount of calls per sec, keeping your api calls (that aren't threaded) under the limit (6 calls per sec). Activate the coach using poloniex.Poloniex(coach=True) when creating the polo object or by defining polo._coaching = True.
