Documentation

Quickstart

1. Create API credentials

Navigate to the API settings page at https://testnet.variational.io/app/settings

Add a descriptive label, create your key, and make sure to save the secret as it's only displayed once.

2. Install Python SDK

pip install variational

3. Make some requests!

from variational import Client, TESTNET
from pprint import pprint

# FIXME: load from environment variables
API_KEY = "your-api-key"
API_SECRET = "your-api-secret"

client = Client(API_KEY, API_SECRET, base_url=TESTNET)
summary = client.get_portfolio_summary().result
pprint(summary)

Client parameters:

• key: str (required) — your API key
• secret: str (required) — your API secret
• base_url: str (optional) — prefix of Variational API endpoints
• request_timeout: float (default=None) — timeout for individual HTTP requests
• retry_rate_limits: bool (default=True) — enables automatic retry on HTTP 429 errors
