Package: bitex-kraken
InstallationInstallation is simple, as it should be:pip install bitex-krakenQickstartAfter installing, requesting data is easy:>>>from bitex import BitexSession
>>>session = BitexSession()
# bitex.BitexSession provides a set of methods to execute the most common queries
>>>r = session.ticker("kraken", "XBTUSD")
# The response objects returned are bitex.BitexResponses, which behave like regular requests.Response objects.
>>>r
<KrakenResponse [200]>
>>>r.json()
{
    "error":[],
    "result": {
        "XXBTZUSD":{
            "a":["3809.10000","1","1.000"],
            "b":["3809.00000","1","1.000"],
            "c":["3809.60000","0.11007700"],

            "o":"3796.20000"
        }
    }

]NoteOn theuidvalueIn the above example, “<uid>” is a string generated byuuid.uuid4and is used to identify separate objects
within a request. It’s generated by us,notKraken and isNOTtracked between requests.
i.e. the same order has a different uid across requests. Keep this in mind when piping data into your backend systems.DevelopmentIf you’re looking to work on or withbitex-framework, you’ll want the development
environment setup. We’ve supplied a fewmaketargets to make your life easier:# Install bitex and its development requirements
make developmentWe also supply targets to run code formatters, linters and tests:# Run code formatters
make pretty

# Verify code style
make style-check

# Run tests via tox
tox -e testenvIf you’d like to contribute to the project, please have a look atCONTRIBUTING.rston some general pointers about how development takes place, what the expected
steps of you are and what requirements we have to merge a PR.
