Examples

Right now library supports: Poloniex.com, Bitstamp.com, Kraken.com Bittrex.com, Binance, TheRockTrading, HitBtc, Bitkonan with elementary support for Livecoin.
Library supports other useful features like wrapper around Coinmarketcap.com's public API.

from cryptotik import Wex, Bittrex, Poloniex

You only need to learn commands once, for example get_markets will work anywhere:

Bittrex().get_markets()

Poloniex().get_markets()

Binance().get_markets()

and will yield similar results. However parsing and interpreting them is left to user.

More examples

Poloniex().get_market_order_book("btc-nxt")

Bittrex().get_market_depth("btc-maid")

Binance().get_market_ticker('etc-eth')

Private API methods (the ones that require authentication)

Library also supports private API methods for Poloniex, Binance, Bitstamp, Kraken, TheRockExchange, Bittrex, Wex and some others.
To use them you need to make class instance though with your API credentials.

polo = Poloniex(yourkey, yoursecret)

polo.get_balances()

polo.withdraw(<coin>, <amount>, <address>)

Same goes for Bittrex:

btrx = Bittrex(yourkey, yoursecret)

btrx.get_balances()

btrx.withdraw(<coin>, <amount>, <address>)


Running tests

cd test

Bittrex

pytest bittrex_test.py --apikey=<APIKEY> --secret=<APISECRET>

Poloniex

pytest poloniex_test.py --apikey=<APIKEY> --secret=<APISECRET>
