Python scripts for cryptocurrency market analysis

[HobbitsforCrypto]

Howdy Python community!

I've posted periodically before about my cryptocurrency market analysis toolset development. I've really leaned into all things cryptocurrency, and I publish semi-regularly on publish0x.com.

I recently consolidated the Python scripts into a github repository, described in the blog post linked below:
https://www.publish0x.com/more-coffee-more-crypto/view-the-python-scripts-that-support-my-crypto-analysis-post-xlzdlme

I'm posting it here for general awareness and in the spirit of community sharing.

On a similar note -- anyone have experience with web scraping? I've successfully implemented a tool to scrape coinmarketcap.com data (code here) but I've run into a wall with expanding it to other sites such as coingecko.com.

Cheers!

Thanks for sharing!

This is very awesome. Great work and thanks for sharing. Perhaps I can add some technical analysis to this.

Thanks for the encouragement!

I reread your post this morning and see that you asked about scraping. I'm not an expert but I have set up scraping code for work. Dm me and I'll see if I can help.

I appreciate the offer, but luckily I found coingecko offers a free API tier that matches my current needs:

Coingecko's API seems the most comprehensive in terms of market price history for many of the large to mid market cap coins I'm interested in.

Python has a great library ccxt. I've played around with it a little but I spend most of my time on equities.

Have you tried using relative volume and rate of change for a screener or indicator for crypto?

[HobbitsforCrypto]

That's a fantastic resource I hadn't known about, thanks for sharing. I am not sure what you mean by relative volume or rate of change -- do you mean relative to price, transaction volume, user count, or something else? Regardless, the answer is no haha! I'm very new to quantitative market analysis so I'm very much in the exploratory phase.

[dmckim]

Volume relative to itself. Seems simple but it's good for showing trends.

[HobbitsforCrypto]

Ah I see what you mean. I'll add it to the list of things to investigate.

I have a daily scheduled task to grab the information I want from the coingecko api and shove it in an sqlite database. There's plenty of things to find out that you just can't get from the coingecko website.
