Thanks to GitHub's hostile policy the repository has migrated to Gitlab.

This repository won't be updated anymore.

Karpet is a tiny library with just a few dependencies for fetching coins/tokens metrics data from the internet.

It can provide following data:

• coin/token historical price data (no limits)
• google trends for the given list of keywords (longer period than official API)
• twitter scraping for the given keywords (no limits)
• much more info about crypto coins/tokens (no rate limits)

What is upcoming?

• Reddit metrics
• Have a request? Open an issue ;)

Library uses a few nifty dependencies and is Python 3.6+ only. There is no need to install dependencies you don't need. Therefore this library utilizes extras which install optional dependencies:

• for Google trends - google

1. Install the library via pip.

pip install karpet  # Basics only
pip install karpet[google]  # With Google trends

2. Import the library class first.

from karpet import Karpet

Retrieves historical data.

k = Karpet(date(2019, 1, 1), date(2019, 5, 1))
df = k.fetch_crypto_historical_data(id="ethereum")  # Dataframe with historical data.
df.head()

                 price   market_cap total_volume
2019-01-01  131.458725  1.36773e+10  1.36773e+10
2019-01-02  138.144802  1.43923e+10  1.43923e+10

2019-01-05  153.056567  1.59408e+10  1.59408e+10

Retrieves exchange list.

k = Karpet()
k.fetch_crypto_exchanges("nrg")
['DigiFinex', 'KuCoin', 'CryptoBridge', 'Bitbns', 'CoinExchange']

Retrieves Google Trends - in percents for the given date range.

k = Karpet(date(2019, 1, 1), date(2019, 5, 1))
df = k.fetch_google_trends(kw_list=["bitcoin"])  # Dataframe with trends.
df.head()

And with a few lines of code you can get a chart

df = df.set_index("date")
df.plot()

Retrieves crypto news.

k = Karpet()
news = k.fetch_news("btc")  # Gets 10 news.
print(news[0])
{
   'url': 'https://cointelegraph.com/ ....',  # Truncated.
   'title': 'Shell Invests in Blockchain-Based Energy Startup',
   'description': 'The world’s fifth top oil and gas firm, Shell, has...',  # Truncated.

   'image': 'https://images.cointelegraph.com/....jpg'  # Truncated.
}
news = k.fetch_news("btc", limit=30)  # Gets 30 news.

Retrieves top crypto news in 2 categories:

• Editor's choices - articles picked by editors
• Hot stories - articles with most views

k = Karpet()
editors_choices, top_stories = k.fetch_top_news()
print(len(editors_choices))
5
print(len(top_stories))
5
print(editors_choices[0])
{
   'url': 'https://cointelegraph.com/...',  # Truncated.

   'description': 'Stability around $10,600 for Bitcoin price is ...'  # Truncated.
}

Resolves coin ID's based on the given symbol (there are coins out there with identical symbol).

Use this to get distinctive coin ID which can be used as id param for method fetch_crypto_historical_data().

k = Karpet()
print(k.get_coin_ids("sta"))
['statera']

Fetches coin/token basic data like:

open_issues is only provided if total_issues and closed_issues are available.

This is my personal library I use in my long-term project. I can pretty much guarantee it will live for a long time then. I will add new features over time and I more than welcome any help or bug reports. Feel free to open an issue or merge request.
