GDAX Python API

Unofficial GDAX API client written in Python3 using async/await

API

The implementation supports the following GDAX endpoints:

• Market Data REST API
• Private REST API
• Public and private Websocket feeds

See the official API documentation at https://docs.gdax.com/ for more documentation.

Examples

Market Data

import asyncio
import gdax

async def main():
    trader = gdax.trader.Trader(product_id='BTC-USD')
    res = await asyncio.gather(
        trader.get_products(),
        trader.get_product_ticker(),
        trader.get_time(),
    )
    print(res)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

Private Endpoint

import asyncio
import gdax

async def main():
    trader = gdax.trader.Trader(
        product_id='BTC-USD',
        api_key='aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa',
        api_secret='aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa==',
        passphrase='aaaaaaaaaaa')
    res = await trader.get_account()
    print(res)

    res = await trader.buy(type='limit', size='0.01', price='2500.12')
    print(res)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

Order book

import asyncio
import gdax

async def run_orderbook():
    async with gdax.orderbook.OrderBook(['ETH-USD', 'BTC-USD']) as orderbook:
        while True:
            message = await orderbook.handle_message()
            if message is None:
                continue
            print('ETH-USD ask: %s bid: %s' %
                  (orderbook.get_ask('ETH-USD'),
                   orderbook.get_bid('ETH-USD')))
            print('BTC-USD ask: %s bid: %s' %
                  (orderbook.get_ask('BTC-USD'),
                   orderbook.get_bid('BTC-USD')))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(run_orderbook())
