Installation
pip install wickdata
Or install from source:
git clone https://github.com/h2337/wickdata.git
cd wickdata
pip install -e .
Quick Start
import asyncio
from wickdata import WickData, DataRequestBuilder, createbinanceconfig
async def main(): # Configure exchanges exchange_configs = { 'binance': createbinanceconfig() # API keys optional for public data } # Initialize WickData async with WickData(exchange_configs) as wickdata: # Get data manager datamanager = wickdata.getdata_manager() # Build request for last 7 days of BTC/USDT hourly data request = (DataRequestBuilder.create() .with_exchange('binance') .with_symbol('BTC/USDT') .with_timeframe('1h') .withlastdays(7) .build()) # Fetch with progress tracking def on_progress(info): print(f"{info.stage}: {info.percentage:.1f}%") stats = await datamanager.fetchhistoricaldata(request, onprogress) print(f"Fetched {stats.total_candles} candles")
asyncio.run(main())

Core Components
WickData
Main entry point for the library. Manages database, exchanges, and provides access to data operations.DataManager
Handles fetching, storing, and querying historical data with intelligent gap detection.DataStreamer
Provides memory-efficient streaming of large datasets with various output options.Builder Patterns
- DataRequestBuilder - Build data fetch requests with convenient methods
- CandleQueryBuilder - Construct database queries with fluent interface
Supported Timeframes
- 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m (minutes)
- 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h (hours)
- 1d, 3d (days)
- 1w (week)
- 1M (month)
Configuration
Exchange Configuration
from wickdata import createbinanceconfig, createcoinbaseconfig
Binance
binanceconfig = createbinance_config(
api_key='your-api-key', # Optional for public data
secret='your-secret', # Optional for public data
testnet=False
)
Coinbase
coinbaseconfig = createcoinbase_config(
api_key='your-api-key',
secret='your-secret',
passphrase='your-passphrase',
sandbox=False
)
Database Configuration
from wickdata.models.config import DatabaseConfig, WickDataConfig
config = WickDataConfig( exchanges={'binance': binance_config}, database=DatabaseConfig( provider='sqlite', url='sqlite:///my_data.db' ), log_level='INFO' )
Examples
Fetching Historical Data
# Using convenience methods
request = (DataRequestBuilder.create()
.with_exchange('binance')
.with_symbol('ETH/USDT')
.with_timeframe('4h')
.withlastweeks(2) # Last 2 weeks
.build())
Or specific date range
request = (DataRequestBuilder.create()
.with_exchange('binance')
.with_symbol('BTC/USDT')
.with_timeframe('1d')
.withdaterange('2024-01-01', '2024-01-31')
.build())
Querying Stored Data
# Create query builder
query = CandleQueryBuilder(repository)
Get recent data with pagination
candles = await (query
.exchange('binance')
.symbol('BTC/USDT')
.timeframe(Timeframe.ONE_HOUR)
.daterange(startdate, end_date)
.limit(100)
.offset(0)
.execute())
Get statistics
stats = await query.stats()
Streaming Data
# Stream with async generator
async for batch in datastreamer.streamcandles(
exchange='binance',
symbol='ETH/USDT',
timeframe=Timeframe.FIVE_MINUTES,
starttime=starttimestamp,
endtime=endtimestamp,
options=StreamOptions(batchsize=1000, delayms=100)
):
process_batch(batch)
Stream to callback
await datastreamer.streamto_callback(
exchange='binance',
symbol='BTC/USDT',
timeframe=Timeframe.ONE_HOUR,
startdate=startdate,
enddate=enddate,
callback=process_candles,
options=StreamOptions(batch_size=500)
)
Gap Detection and Analysis
# Find missing data
gaps = await datamanager.findmissing_data(
exchange='binance',
symbol='BTC/USDT',
timeframe=Timeframe.ONE_HOUR,
startdate=startdate,
enddate=enddate
)
print(f"Found {len(gaps)} gaps") for gap in gaps: print(f" Gap: {gap.getstartdatetime()} to {gap.getenddatetime()}") print(f" Missing candles: {gap.candle_count}")
Error Handling
WickData provides comprehensive error handling with specific exception types:
from wickdata import (
WickDataError, # Base error class
ExchangeError, # Exchange-specific errors
ValidationError, # Input validation errors
RateLimitError, # Rate limiting errors
NetworkError, # Network connectivity issues
DatabaseError, # Database operation errors
ConfigurationError, # Configuration problems
DataGapError # Gap-related errors
)
try: await datamanager.fetchhistorical_data(request) except RateLimitError as e: print(f"Rate limited. Retry after {e.retry_after}s") except ExchangeError as e: print(f"Exchange error: {e.message}")
Performance
- Batch Processing: Insert 10,000+ candles per second (SQLite)
- Concurrent Fetching: Multiple concurrent fetchers per exchange
- Memory Efficient: Streaming prevents memory overflow for large datasets
- Smart Caching: Automatic deduplication and gap detection
- Connection Pooling: Efficient database connection management

Architecture
WickData follows a modular architecture with clear separation of concerns:
- Core Layer: Main WickData class, DataManager, DataStreamer
- Database Layer: Repository pattern with SQLite implementation
- Exchange Layer: CCXT integration with adapter pattern
- Service Layer: Gap analysis, retry logic, validation
- Models: Data models with validation
- Builders: Fluent interfaces for complex object construction
