Installation

pip install backpack-exchange-sdk

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/solomeowl/backpack_exchange_sdk.git
cd backpack_exchange_sdk

Quick Start

Public Client

from backpack_exchange_sdk import PublicClient

client = PublicClient()

# Get all markets
markets = client.get_markets()

# Get ticker
ticker = client.get_ticker("SOL_USDC")

# Get order book depth
depth = client.get_depth("SOL_USDC")

Authentication Client

from backpack_exchange_sdk import AuthenticationClient

client = AuthenticationClient("<API_KEY>", "<SECRET_KEY>")

# Get account balances
balances = client.get_balances()

# Place an order
order = client.execute_order(
    orderType="Limit",
    side="Bid",
    symbol="SOL_USDC",
    price="100",
    quantity="1"
)

# Get order history
history = client.get_order_history(symbol="SOL_USDC")

Using Enums

from backpack_exchange_sdk import AuthenticationClient
from backpack_exchange_sdk.enums import OrderType, Side, TimeInForce

client = AuthenticationClient("<API_KEY>", "<SECRET_KEY>")

order = client.execute_order(
    orderType=OrderType.LIMIT.value,
    side=Side.BID.value,
    symbol="SOL_USDC",
    price="100",
    quantity="1",
    timeInForce=TimeInForce.GTC.value
)
