Python package to communicate with the bitstamp.net API.

Compatible with Python 2.7+ and Python 3.3+

There are two classes. One for the public part of API and a second for the trading part.

Public class doesn't need user credentials, because API commands which this class implements are not bound to bitstamp user account.

Description of API: https://www.bitstamp.net/api/

Install from PyPi:

pip install BitstampClient

Install from git:

pip install git+git://github.com/kmadac/bitstamp-python-client.git

Here's a quick example of usage:

>>> import bitstamp.client

>>> public_client = bitstamp.client.Public()
>>> print(public_client.ticker()['volume'])
8700.01208078

>>> trading_client = bitstamp.client.Trading(
...     username='999999', key='xxx', secret='xxx')
>>> print(trading_client.account_balance()['fee'])
