* Support trading and analysis tools for cryptocurrency market
The project aims to answer the following two questions:
1. How to get historical data, especially a long period, in a single query?

## Prerequisite
Python 3.5+

You can install it via pip for static version
```

```
or development version

## API Usage
This library is to extend the library [ccxt](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt) on
more powerful functions. So the supported exchanges are same as ccxt while
a few exchanges are extended with the following features. You just need to
import the exchange from libcryptomarket.
### Candles
```
from datetime import datetime
import libcryptomarket
poloniex = libcryptomarket.poloniex()
candles = poloniex.fetch_candles(
symbol="ETH/BTC",
start_time=datetime(2018, 1, 1),
end_time=datetime(2018, 1, 30),
frequency="30m")
```
### Latest candles
```
from datetime import datetime
import libcryptomarket
poloniex = libcryptomarket.poloniex()
candles = poloniex.fetch_latest_candles(
symbols=["ETH/BTC", "LTC/BTC"],
frequency="30m",
frequency_count=5)
```
### Supported exchanges
| Exchange | candles | latest_candles |
|---|---|---|
| Poloniex | v | v |
| Bitfinex | v | v |
| GDAX | v | v |
## Console Usage
