r-candle-forecast

Using the R-Template to make an auto.arima() forecast of ETH VWAP Data.

We recommend R 4.2.3 available here: https://cran.r-project.org/ and RStudio as an IDE here: https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/

Reproduce

1. Clone this repo. I use GitHub Desktop, you can grab the URL to clone in that app, or use git clone https://github.com/fsc-data-science/r-candle-forecast.git
2. Create a txt file called api_key.txt and place your API key (you can create one via the API page when logged into Flipside: https://flipsidecrypto.xyz/account/api-keys )
3. Open RStudio and then navigate to the r-candle-forecast.Rproj file and open it. This will abstract away any non-relative file paths.
4. In RStudio run the command install.packages('renv'); renv::restore().

The environment lock file includes installs for shroomDK, dplyr, and plotly.

5. You can now run the analysis script hello-flipside.R. If you create an interactive HTML file (candlestick_chart.html) it worked! (Open in browser to see the eth volume weighted average price candle chart over the last 30 days).

6. You will also generate an interactive plotly with 5 hours of forecast in the Viewer.

Flipside API

You can generate API keys to bring SQL queries from the data studio into R & RStudio via the flipside package. This repo includes it in the environment for you. Note: API Keys are capped at a free 5,000 query seconds/month. So it is recommended you write your queries in the (free) Studio first, and then bring the polished query into R once it runs as expected.

Relatedly, keep our docs handy as you work with data from Flipside.
