Backend-api is a dedicated solution for managing Hummingbot instances. It offers a robust backend API to streamline the deployment, management, and interaction with Hummingbot containers. This tool is essential for administrators and developers looking to efficiently handle various aspects of Hummingbot operations.

Features

• Deployment File Management: Manage files necessary for deploying new Hummingbot instances.
• Container Control: Effortlessly start and stop Hummingbot containers.
• Archiving Options: Securely archive containers either locally or on Amazon S3 post-removal.
• Direct Messaging: Communicate with Hummingbots through the broker for effective control and coordination.

Getting Started

Conda Installation
