How to pull exchange price data into Python with CCXT, as a starting point for your own charts or backtests.
How to pull exchange price data into Python with CCXT, as a starting point for your own charts or backtests.
Based on the project's documentation:
1. Install it with pip (package name: ccxt).
2. Import ccxt and create an exchange object.
3. Call load_markets to fetch the list of symbols.
4. Request a ticker or hourly OHLCV candles for a pair such as BTC/USDT.
Trade-off: public market data needs no keys, but rate limits apply.
Practical step: save candles locally instead of re-downloading them each run.
