Why use this library over python-kucoin <https://github.com/sammchardy/python-kucoin> or the official SDK <https://github.com/Kucoin/kucoin-python-sdk>? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This package was written with an eye towards data science and quantitative trading strategies. Specifically designed for fast, efficient data acquisition and high complexity trades such as HFT, market-making, and long-short strategies. Wherever possible, endpoints have been neatly wrapped to pandas DataFrames with key data acquisition endpoints thoughtfully constructed with rich configurability reducing time needed to clean and filter data. Trading functions are explicitly geared towards simplicity with seamless margin trade integration. Of special note, OHLCV acquisition from the KuCoin REST API has been overhauled to enable the user to query multiple assets over extended time periods despite the standard enpoint's limitations of a single asset with a max 1500 bars of historic data. For large scale ML projects, leverage the `kucoincli.pipe module for a one-line function capable of piping large amounts of OHLCV data directly into the user's SQL database solution.

  • Automate the generation of enormous SQL databases with kucoincli.pipe
  • Take complex trading algorithms live via websockets using kucoincli.socket [work in progress]
  • Quickly obtain, clean, and organize large amounts of data for use in RL/ML models with kucoincli.client
Disclaimer: This is an unofficial implementation of the KuCoin Rest and Websocket API v2. Use this package at your own risk.

Roadmap +++++++ | [ ] Finish writing documentation | [ ] Clean-up websocket implemention and improve ease of use | [ ] Add stop-loss order capabilities | [ ] Add schema configuration functionality to data pipeline | [ ] Add futures API access | [ ] Develop an asynchronous REST client

Features ++++++++

  • One-line database pipeline. Open a high stability pipe from the KuCoin OHLC(V) endpoint to your SQL database
- Automatically creates database or adds to pre-existing db - Capable of handling multi-day data acqusition sessions through dynamic timeout mechanism - Take a look at a pre-built example in the
examples folder available at my github _
  • Highly configurable data acquisition endpoints
- Spend less time cleaning and managing data - Checkout
.ohlcv, .orderbook, .symbols, and .all_tickers for examples
  • Access to 99%+ of KuCoin REST and Websocket endpoints
  • Seamless order management between Spot and Margin markets
Quickstart ++++++++++
  • Register for an account at KuCoin _
  • Generate an API _
  • Download kucoin-cli using pip
.. code-block:: bash

pip install kucoin-cli

  • Try out some functions!
.. code-block:: python

from kucoincli.client import Client

# Your own credentials here apikey = 'apikey' apisecret = 'apisecret' apipassphrase = 'apipassphrase'

client = Client(apikey, apisecret, api_passphrase)

# Pull details for all marginable currencies quoted in BTC terms marginablebtccurr = client.symbols(quote="BTC", marginable=True)

# Pull buy/sell orders for BTC-USDT orderdf = client.getorder_histories("BTC-USDT")

# Query one month of minutely data for BTC-USDT and ETH-USDT ohlcv_df = client.ohlcv( tickers=["BTC-USDT", "ETH-USDT"], begin="2022-01-01", end="2022-02-01", interval="1min", )

# Buy 500 USDT of ETH at market price on the spot market order = client.order( symbol="ETH-USDT", side="buy", funds=500, )

# Place a 10 minute Good-to-Time margin limit sell order for 1 BTC @ 24,000 USDT order = client.order( symbol="BTC-USDT", side="sell", price=24_000, size=1.0000, tif="GTT", cancel_after=600, margin=True, type="limit", )

# Obtain the full orderbook depth for XRP-USDT as a namedtuple containing numpy arrays orderbook = client.orderbook("XRP-USDT", depth="full", format="numpy") # Specify format="pd" to obtain an identical result wrapped in a pandas dataframe orderbook = client.orderbook("XRP-USDT", depth="full", format="pd")
