python-deriv-api

A python implementation of deriv api library.

Go through api.deriv.com to know simple easy steps on how to register and get access. Use this all-in-one python library to set up and make your app running or you can extend it.

Requirement

Python (3.9.6 or higher is recommended) and pip3

Note: There is bug in 'websockets' package with python 3.9.7, hope that will be fixed in 3.9.8 as mentioned in python-websockets/websockets#1051. Please exclude python 3.9.7.

Installation

python3 -m pip install python_deriv_api

Usage

This is basic deriv-api python library which helps to make websockets connection and deal the API calls (including subscription).

Import the module

from deriv_api import DerivAPI

Access

api = DerivAPI(endpoint='ws://...', app_id=1234);
response = await api.ping({'ping': 1})
print(response) 

Creating a websockets connection and API instantiation

You can either create an instance of websockets and pass it as connection or pass the endpoint and app_id to the constructor to create the connection for you.

If you pass the connection it's up to you to reconnect in case the connection drops (cause API doesn't know how to create the same connection).

• Pass the arguments needed to create a connection:

   api = DerivAPI(endpoint='ws://...', app_id=1234);

• create and use a previously opened connection:

   connection = await websockets.connect('ws://...')
   api = DerivAPI(connection=connection)
