Help Getting History Data about python3-krakenex HOT 5 CLOSED

Note: I've edited the report formatting somewhat.

Kraken's docs for Ticker suggest that the only thing you can specify for it is pair.

For your use case, what you want is OHLC. Take a look at examples/log-ohlc.py.

Note that since might be tricky, as discussed in #44.

The example doesn't change the default interval, which is touched on in the comments. For a weekly, you'd want 10080 (60247).

Finally,

ticker_1 = k.query_public('Ticker', {'pair': 'XXBTZUSD'},req(start_date, end_date, 1) )

... doesn't work, because the third positional parameter is a krakenex.Connection - see docs.

Somewhat OT: Take a look at the Reddit thread that spawned the example (also linked from therein).

Depending on your final final use of the retrieved dataframe, you might be disapponted, since the data could change ever so slightly.

At the time of that Reddit discussion, the previous statement used to be true. I've decided not to implement a monitoring bot that would keep checking if the fact has changed, seeing how Kraken's API is already overloaded.

If your application does not require strict historic data consistency, and you decide to go ahead with it, be sure to save responses. krakenex does not provide such facilities.
