A python interface for the BitMEX API. Provided without warranty. Use at your own risk.

Before installing, open up settings.py and enter your live and/or testnet API key. Some other settings may be adjusted.

This program requires bitmex and colorama (if using color). Install everything using install.sh or run the following

pip3 install bitmex
pip3 install colorama

Unless you ran the install.sh file, you will run the following:

pip3 install -e .

Run the program by entering

pymex

in the command prompt

Type

help

for a list of commands, and

exit

to exit.

The interpreter will default to the live network (using REAL_API_KEY). Run the program with

pymex --testnet

to default to testnet.

Once the program is running, you can enter various commands to execute trades or get data. For example

spread --longSym XBTUSD --shortSym XBTU19 --premium 200 --quantity 10000 --wait 5

will continually try to sell the XBTU19 futures and buy the XBTUSD swaps only when XBTU19 is trading $200 or more higher than XBTUSD. We will try to get 10000 of them, and keep checking every 5 seconds until we can successfully execute the trade.

Feel free. I don't update this code much anymore.
