​Website​
Access the world’s first DEX focused on token based commodities trading using this SDK. Accessible 24/7 with tight trading spreads, low margin requirements and unique hedge instruments that ensure you don’t get liquidated prior to settlement dates.
Pre requisites
This package is designed for python 3. While using pip, pip should be configured for python3.
Installation
Mettalex for python can be installed directly from github using the following command:
pip install -e git+https://github.com/fetchai/[email protected]#egg=mettalex-sdk
Usage
Importing
from mettalex import apiSDK
Connecting to a network
Mettalex provides 3 networks for connecting to Metallex exchange, namely, 'bsc-testnet', 'kovan' and 'bsc-mainnet'. You will need to connect to one of these to be able to access Mettalex. You will require your key while connecting to any network. Infura project ID and Infura API Secret are required only when connecting to kovan.
apiSDK.connect([network], [userkey], [infuraSecret ? Optional], [infuraProjectId ? Optional])
You can pass credentials as a json file (e.g. trade_sdk_creds.json).
{
  "kovan": {
    "infura": {
      "project_id": "...",
      "secret": "..."
    },
    "user": {
      "address": "0x...",
      "key": "14a..."
    }
  },
  "bsc-mainnet": {
    "user": {
      "address": "", 
      "key": ""
    }
  },
  "bsc-testnet": {
    "user": {
      "address": "", 
      "key": ""
    }
  }
}
then connect with:
apiSDK.connect('kovan', filename=os.path.expanduser('~/trader_sdk_creds.json'))
Getting Commodities
apiSDK.getCommodities(network_id=optional, coin_id='default') This function returns a pandas DataFrame with details of all the commodities in the connected network.
Use this function typically while getting the list of all commodities available on a network.
The optional network_id argument allows the user to examine commodities present on different networks. If unspecified the connected network is used.
The optional coin_id argument specifies the underlying collateral.
Note: on bsc-mainnet BUSD is "real money": please exercise caution and understand the risks involved.
commodities = apiSDK.getCommodities(coin='BUSD')
commodities.loc[:, ['category', 'commodity_symbol', 'id']]
Out[27]: 
  category commodity_symbol   id
0   Spread          BTCTSLA  338
1   Crypto              BTC  336
Creating a commodity instance to trade
commodity = apiSDK.Commodity([commodity symbol or commodity ID]) 
A Commodity instance can be created using the commodity symbol. This initializes a class instance of the particular commodity. An instance of a commodity needs to be created to be able to execute trades and getting expected prices. We can get commodity symbols available by calling getCommodities() and looking at the commodity_symbol column. If there are multiple commodities with the same symbol, e.g. settled and active commodities, then it is better to use the commodity_id to access a market.
Expected trading prices
Two functions ask and bid can be used to retrieve trading prices. These functions can be called on commodity instances created, taking two arguments of token and amount to be traded.
commodity.ask(token, amount) - amount of coin required to buy token amount
​
commodity.bid(token, amount) - amount of coin received from sell token amount
Token is provided as a string and can be either "long" or "short".
Amount is provided by default as a float using token amounts taking token decimals into account.
If the unitless parameter is set to True the amount values are in int
Trading
Trading in a commodity is quite simple. We have to call trade function on a commodity instance providing in token, out token and the amount we want to trade. In token and Out Token can take "long","short", or "coin" as values.
Amount is provided as a float or int as for bid and ask methods. commodity.trade([In Token], [Out Token], [amount In], [minimum amount Out])
Example
1.Setup and imports in ipython console;
%load_ext autoreload
%autoreload 2
import pandas as pd
import os
from mettalex import apiSDK
pd.set_option('display.width', 1000)
pd.set_option('display.max_columns', None)
  2. Connect to blockchain and list commodities;
apiSDK.connect('kovan', filename=os.path.expanduser('~/trader_sdk_creds.json'))
commodities = apiSDK.getCommodities('kovan', output='dataframe')
