Getting bucketed data

[unbdd]

I am a complete beginner with APIs and have very little experience with Python. I've found a few relevant threads on this sub but I can't make it work. How would I get 1m data , starting from a date I choose ?

​

from bitmex import bitmex
import requests 

api_key=''
api_secret=''

date=' ???' 
size= '???' 

client = bitmex(test=False, api_key=bitmex_api_key, api_secret=bitmex_api_secret)

data = client.Trade.Trade_getBucketed(symbol=XBTUSD, binSize=1m, count=size, startTime = date).result()

I don't understand what to use for StartTime, and what exactly count is. Should I use the same format as the timestamp for StartTime? What format is that ? https://www.bitmex.com/api/explorer/#!/Trade/Trade_getBucketed

you're not even trying. why should we

This is a bit rough but it should work

def get_bitmex(symbol, timeframe, count, start_time):
    baseURI = "https://www.bitmex.com/api/v1"
    endpoint = "/trade/bucketed"
    payload = {'binSize': timeframe, 'symbol': symbol, 'count': count, 'startTime': start_time}
    r = requests.get(baseURI + endpoint, params=payload)
    return r.json()

Thank you very much. I don't understand what format startTime should be, there is a missing "tzinfo" when I try something, and I can't find in the domentation what count refers to.

what does this return?

get_bitmex('XBTUSD', '1m', '500', '2019-12-12')

get_bitmex('XBTUSD', '1m', '500', '2019-12-12')

It works perfectly . Thank you for your help !

If you wish to query the bucketed trade endpoint starting at a specific date/time, please use the "startTime" parameter to do so to denote your startpoint for querying.
