A Python client for the Bitfinex API v1 and v2 + websockets for v2.

pip install bitfinex-v2

Install the libs

pip install -r ./requirements.txt

Full documentation coming soon. Please refer to the code to see function names etc. for now.

from bitfinex import ClientV2 as Client
client = Client(
    os.environ.get('BITFINEX_KEY'),
    os.environ.get('BITFINEX_SECRET')
)

client.ticker('tBTCUSD')

The documentation for bitfinex websockets are somewhat confusing So expect to spend some time figuring out just what is actually returned through the authenticated channel.

import os
key = os.environ.get("API_KEY")
secret = os.environ.get("API_SECRET")
from bitfinex.websockets import WssClient
bm = WssClient(key, secret)

# Authenticate and listen to account feedback
# print is the callback method. You probably want to do something else.
bm.authenticate(print)

# Subscribe to candles (starts with a set of completed candles, then updates with last completed + updated uncompleted candle)
bm.subscribe_to_candles("BTCUSD", "1m", print)
bm.start()

# Send new order
bm.new_order(order_type="EXCHANGE LIMIT", pair="BTCUSD", amount="0.1", price="1", hidden=0)

For sending messages I have only implemented new_order and cancel_order. I will add documentation for this later, for now take a look at the source code.

from bitfinex import ClientV1 as Client
client = Client(
  os.environ.get('BITFINEX_KEY'),
  os.environ.get('BITFINEX_SECRET')
)

client.ticker('btcusd')

      }

This code has been tested on

• Python 3.6

But the REST library will probably work on python 2.7 as well.

I haven’t tested the Websocket library on 2.7

When continuing this project (from scottjbarr) I decided to use pytests.

so this should start your tests:

pytest -v

However... Due to the fact that Mocket (python-mocket) crashes whenever pyopenssl is installed. Tests related to the rest library does now work unless you uninstall pyopenssl.

• Add the rest of Websocket messages and channels.
• Possible parsing improvement for v2 responses.
• Implement all API calls that Bitfinex make available (v1).

Contributions are welcome and i will do my best to merge PR quickly.

Here are some guidelines that makes everything easier for everybody:

1. Fork it.
2. Create a feature branch containing only your fix or feature.
3. Preferably add/update tests. Features or fixes that don't have good tests won't be accepted before someone adds them (mostly...).
4. Create a pull request.
