python-saxo

Python wrapper for Saxo Bank's OpenAPI

You'll need

• Python 3.4 or above
• requests for Python
• Saxo Developer Account

Usage

Create an app on your developer account (for either DEMO or LIVE) using the following settings:

• Redirect URL: http://gttkeith.github.io/python-saxo/authcode
• Grant Type: Code
• Access control: ☑ Allow this app to be enabled for trading

An example main.py has been provided in the repo, where app details are stored in a params.json file. Queries can be made through the console, and results are dumped into out.csv in the same directory.

pysaxo negotiates the authentication procedure using the complete OAuth2 authorisation flow. Sessions are proactively refreshed to prevent unexpected logouts.

Creating a new session:

from pysaxo import Session
access = Session(app_key, auth_endpoint, token_endpoint, secret)

Performing requests:

# get information about authorised user
access.get('port/v1/users/me')

# retrieve a list of FX spot instruments containing SGD
access.get('ref/v1/instruments', KeyWords='SGD', AssetTypes='FxSpot')

# retrieve the historical 1H:1M bid/asks of asset UIC 45: USDSGD
access.get('chart/v1/charts', Uic=45, AssetType='FxSpot', Horizon=60)

Query parameters are case-sensitive.

python-saxo is deliberately designed in an abstract manner, and will retain compatibility through changes in Saxo's API endpoints. For a comprehensive overview of available endpoints and query/response formats, please refer to the Saxo OpenAPI documentation.
