bitfinexpy

Python wrapper for Bitfinex API.

Dependencies

Requests and Pandas libraries are required.

Usage

Include the bitfinexpy module and create an bitfinexpy instance with your account credentials. For trading, a key and a secret key must be provided.

import bitfinexpy

bitfinex = bitfinexpy.API(environment="live", key="AaBbCc012...", secret_key="123a456...")

Method names are referred by the part of HTML label name after #, which you can see Bitfinex API web page.

In the label name, you don't forget to replace all '-'s with '_'. (e.g. multiple-new-orders -> multiple_new_orders)

Examples

Get the latest BTCUSD price

bitfinex.ticker(symbol='BTCUSD')

View your active orders

bitfinex.active_orders()

See your balances

bitfinex.wallet_balances()

Submit a new order

For example, if you'd like to buy 0.001 BTC as 0.01 BTC/USD, you need to specify following parameters.

bitfinex.new_order(symbol="BTCUSD", amount=0.001, price=0.01, side="buy", type="market")

BTC Price Streaming

Create a custom streamer class to setup how you want to handle the data. Each tick is sent through the on_success and on_error functions. You can override these functions to handle the streaming data.

Initialize an instance of your custom streamer, and start connecting to the stream.

stream = bitfinexpy.Streamer(environment=DOMAIN, heartbeat=1.0)
stream.start()
