beem.market¶

class beem.market.Market(base=None, quote=None, steem_instance=None)¶

Bases: dict

This class allows to easily access Markets on the blockchain for trading, etc.

Parameters:	steem_instance (Steem) – Steem instance base (Asset) – Base asset quote (Asset) – Quote asset
Returns:	Blockchain Market
Return type:	dictionary with overloaded methods

Instances of this class are dictionaries that come with additional methods (see below) that allow dealing with a market and its corresponding functions.

This class tries to identify two assets as provided in the parameters in one of the following forms:

base and quote are valid assets (according to beem.asset.Asset)
base:quote separated with :
base/quote separated with /
base-quote separated with -

Note

Throughout this library, the quote symbol will be presented first (e.g. STEEM:SBD with STEEM being the quote), while the base only refers to a secondary asset for a trade. This means, if you call beem.market.Market.sell() or beem.market.Market.buy(), you will sell/buy only quote and obtain/pay only base.

accountopenorders(account=None, raw_data=False)¶

Returns open Orders

Parameters:	account (Account) – Account name or instance of Account to show orders for in this market raw_data (bool) – (optional) returns raw data if set True, or a list of Order() instances if False (defaults to False)

static btc_usd_ticker(verbose=False)¶: Returns the BTC/USD price from bitfinex, gdax, kraken, okcoin and bitstamp. The mean price is weighted by the exchange volume.

buy(price, amount, expiration=None, killfill=False, account=None, orderid=None, returnOrderId=False)¶

Places a buy order in a given market

Parameters:

price (float) – price denoted in base/quote
amount (number) – Amount of quote to buy
expiration (number) – (optional) expiration time of the order in seconds (defaults to 7 days)
killfill (bool) – flag that indicates if the order shall be killed if it is not filled (defaults to False)
account (string) – Account name that executes that order
returnOrderId (string) – If set to “head” or “irreversible” the call will wait for the tx to appear in the head/irreversible block and add the key “orderid” to the tx output

Prices/Rates are denoted in ‘base’, i.e. the SBD_STEEM market is priced in STEEM per SBD.

Example: in the SBD_STEEM market, a price of 300 means a SBD is worth 300 STEEM

Note

All prices returned are in the reversed orientation as the market. I.e. in the STEEM/SBD market, prices are SBD per STEEM. That way you can multiply prices with 1.05 to get a +5%.

Warning

Since buy orders are placed as limit-sell orders for the base asset, you may end up obtaining more of the buy asset than you placed the order for. Example:

You place and order to buy 10 SBD for 100 STEEM/SBD

This means that you actually place a sell order for 1000 STEEM in order to obtain at least 10 SBD

If an order on the market exists that sells SBD for cheaper, you will end up with more than 10 SBD

cancel(orderNumbers, account=None, **kwargs)¶

Cancels an order you have placed in a given market. Requires only the “orderNumbers”.

Parameters:	orderNumbers (int, list) – A single order number or a list of order numbers

get_string(separator=':')¶

Return a formated string that identifies the market, e.g. STEEM:SBD

Parameters:	separator (str) – The separator of the assets (defaults to `:`)

static hive_btc_ticker()¶: Returns the HIVE/BTC price from bittrex and upbit. The mean price is weighted by the exchange volume.

hive_usd_implied()¶: Returns the current HIVE/USD market price

market_history(bucket_seconds=300, start_age=3600, end_age=0, raw_data=False)¶

Return the market history (filled orders).

Parameters:	bucket_seconds (int) – Bucket size in seconds (see returnMarketHistoryBuckets()) start_age (int) – Age (in seconds) of the start of the window (default: 1h/3600) end_age (int) – Age (in seconds) of the end of the window (default: now/0) raw_data (bool) – (optional) returns raw data if set True

trade_history(start=None, stop=None, intervall=None, limit=25, raw_data=False)¶

Returns the trade history for the internal market

This function allows to fetch a fixed number of trades at fixed intervall times to reduce the call duration time. E.g. it is possible to receive the trades from the last 7 days, by fetching 100 trades each 6 hours.

When intervall is set to None, all trades are received between start and stop. This can take a while.

Parameters:	start (datetime) – Start date stop (datetime) – Stop date intervall (timedelta) – Defines the intervall limit (int) – Defines how many trades are fetched at each intervall point raw_data (bool) – when True, the raw data are returned
