Usage

import asyncio
from tardis_client import TardisClient, Channel

async def replay():
    tardis_client = TardisClient()

    # replay method returns Async Generator
    # https://rickyhan.com/jekyll/update/2018/01/27/python36.html
    messages = tardis_client.replay(
        exchange="bitmex",
        from_date="2019-06-01",
        to_date="2019-06-02",
        filters=[Channel(name="trade", symbols=["XBTUSD","ETHUSD"]), Channel("orderBookL2", ["XBTUSD"])],
    )

    # this will print all trades and orderBookL2 messages for XBTUSD
    # and all trades for ETHUSD for bitmex exchange
    # between 2019-06-01T00:00:00.000Z and 2019-06-02T00:00:00.000Z (whole first day of June 2019)
    async for local_timestamp, message in messages:
        # local timestamp is a Python datetime that marks timestamp when given message has been received
        # message is a message object as provided by exchange real-time stream
        print(message)

asyncio.run(replay())

API

tardis-client package provides TardisClient and Channel classes.

from tardis_client import TardisClient, Channel

TardisClient

Optional client constructor parameters.

name	type	default value	description
api_key (optional)	string	""	optional string containing API key for tardis.dev API. If not provided only first day of each month of data is accessible (free access)
cache_dir (optional)	string	<os.tmpdir>/.tardis-cache	optional string with path to local dir that will be used as cache location. If not provided default temp dir for given OS will be used.

Example:

# creates new client instance with access only to sample data (first day of each month)
tardis_client = TardisClient()

# creates new client with access to all data for given API key
tardis_client = TardisClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

# creates new client with custom cache dir
tardis_client = TardisClient(cache_dir="./cache")

• tardis_client.clear_cache()

  Removes local file cache dir and it's contents.

  Example:

  tardis_client = TardisClient()
  
  tardis_client.clear_cache()

• tardis_client.replay(exchange, from_date, to_date, filters=[])

  Replays historical market data messages for given replay arguments.

  Returns Async Generator with named tuples (namedtuple("Response", ["local_timestamp", "message"])).

  • local_timestamp is a Python datetime object specyfying when message has been received from the exchange real-time data feed.

  • message is Python dict with parsed JSON that has exactly the same format as message provided by particular exchange's real-time data feed.

    replay method parameters:

    name	type	default value	description
    exchange	string	-	requested exchange name - Use /exchanges API call to get allowed exchanges ids
    from_date	string	-	requested UTC start date of data feed - valid ISO date string, eg: 2019-04-05 or 2019-05-05T00:00:00
    to_date	string	-	requested UTC end date of data feed - valid ISO date string, eg: 2019-04-05 or 2019-05-05T00:00:00
    filters (optional)	List[Channel]	[]	optional filters of requested data feed. Use /exchanges/:exchange API call to get allowed channel names and symbols for requested exchange

    Channel class

    Channel class constructor parameters.

    name	type	description
    name	string	Use /exchanges/:exchange API call to get allowed channel names and symbols for requested exchange
    symbols	List[string]	Use /exchanges/:exchange API call to get allowed channel names and symbols for requested exchange
