NOTE: Cryptowatch was sunset in 2023. Its features are available in the Kraken API.
This repository contains functionalities for using the CryptoWatch REST API within Deephaven.
The CryptoWatch REST API allows users to pull historical crypto data for a large number of coins from various exchanges and for various currencies.
This repository pulls data from CryptoWatch into a Deephaven table, and optionally writes it to a nested parquet directory stucture based on partitioning columns in the table.
Two scripts should run when you boot up the session:
- The first defines CryptoWatch utilities and pulls the list of available assets (coins) and exchanges.
- The second defines the function used to pull data for a particular pair (coin + currency) on a given exchange.
The third script, which resides in /data/notebooks/ will pull historical data for a given list of:
- coins
- exchanges
- currencies
Each unique combination of coin/exchange/currency performs a single REST API request from CryptoWatch. These requests take 0.015 CryptoWatch credits.
To use the code in this repository, open the script /data/notebooks/Pull_Coins_Currencies_From_Exchanges_CryptoWatch.py. Edit the coins, exchanges, and currencies lists to contain any coins, exchanges, and currencies you are interested in. Additionally, if you wish to write the crypto data to your local machine, set write_flag to True (if it isn't already). Run the script from the console and it will start pulling (and optionally writing) historical crypto data for a large range of granularities.
To see a list of valid assets and exchanges, type the following:
print(CryptoWatchAssets.symbols)
print(CryptoWatchExchanges.symbols)CryptoWatch may not have data for a particular pair on a given exchange. In such a case, the code should skip that pair and move onto the next in the list.
Every 24 hours, you are allowed 10 CryptoWatch credits for your own personal use without an API key. Requests range from 0.002 to 0.015 credits per, which means you can perform several hundred to multiple thousands of requests per day. The requests for a pair on an exchange cost 0.015 credits, while requests for available assets, exchanges, currencies, etc. cost 0.002.
More information on requests can be found here. All code in this repository will report usage metrics and remaining allowance on every function call.
It generally goes against terms of use to present data from a source as your own. Deephaven makes no claim to the ownership or validity of the data found on CryptoWatch. This repository contains no crypto data by default because it is not ours, but rather theirs, which is free to use on an individual basis.
