Cryptobot

This is an on-going project to create a useful bot to track your personal cryptocurrency portfolios.

Exchanges supported: Coinbase
Info needed: API key

Current features:

• List all transactions by coin
• Calculate profit/loss for each coin (value in USD, % change)
• Calculate profit/loss for entire portfolio
• Supports multiple accounts within Coinbase and allows manual input of external balances

Future features:

• Support other exchanges (Bittrex, Kraken)
• Automate external balance import from other exchanges/Coinigy

Installation steps:

1. These steps assume python3 and pip3 are already installed
2. Install the official Coinbase Python SDK sudo pip3 install coinbase
3. In Coinbase, navigate to Settings -> API Access -> New API Key to generate a new set of API credentials
4. Select the accounts you wish the bot to be able to operate on
5. Select all API read permissions
6. Note: This bot does not require buy, sell, or transfer permissions
7. Enter API information from step 3 into config.json
8. Remember to keep the API key safe as the key will no longer be visible on Coinbase
9. Run Cryptobot via python3 cryptobot.py -u user -e 300 -v (see run configurations below)

Run configurations:

Cryptobot takes the following command line arguments

• -u, --user: Specifies the credential set in config.json to use
• -e, --ethereum: Sets the current ethereum price for profit calculations (Coinbase SDK does not return this value correctly)
• -v, --verbose: Extra printout on transaction details
