aiomarketstack

aiomarketstack is an unofficial Python-only asyncio-based Marketstack client.

This library aims to be extremely observable and, therefore, comes with structlog (which I adore ❤️) support out of the box. I am also currently working on OpenTelemetry metrics as well.

Installing

To get started, grab yourself a copy of aiomarketstack:

pip install aiomarketstack

Getting Started

The easiest way to use client is via the HttpMarketstackClient. The following example illustrates the most powerful utilities in aiomarketstack.

from __future__ import annotations

import asyncio

from datetime import date
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

from aiomarketstack import HttpMarketstackClient, MarketstackPlan
from aiomarketstack.exceptions import ResponseError
from aiomarketstack.types import Eod


async def main():
    date_range = (date(2023, 1, 1), date(2023, 1, 31))

    async with HttpMarketstackClient(
        "your-token-here",
        MarketstackPlan.FREE
    ) as client:
        try:
            eod_values: tuple[Eod, ...] = (
                await client.get_eod_range(("AMZN", ), date_range)
            )
        except ResponseError as resp_err:
            print(f"Uh-oh, a response error ocurred: {resp_err}")
            raise

    # Note that there will be missing data (if the market was closed).
    plt_xaxis = [eod["date"] for eod in eod_values]
    plt_yaxes = {
        key: [eod[key] for eod in eod_values]
        for key in {"open", "high", "low", "close"}
    }

    for label, data in plt_yaxes.items():
        plt.plot(plt_xaxis, data, label=label.capitalize())
    plt.legend()
    plt.grid()
    plt.title("End-of-day prices for AMZN for January 2023")
    plt.xlabel("Date in January")
    plt.ylabel("Price in $")
    plt.show()


asyncio.run(main())

Why not marketstack-python?

The main reason this library exists is because I found the great marketstack-python to be unwieldy for my needs.

The three main advantages of aiomarketstack are:

• OpenTelemetry Metrics (Currently In Progress)
• structlog-style Logging.
• Much more flexible API

The main disadvantage of this library, compared with marketstack-python is that it does not and will not cache your queries. This is not and will not be the goal of this library.

Development

To manually build aiomarketstack for development, we use poetry. Get started with:

git clone https://github.com/markovejnovic/aiomarketstack.git
cd aiomarketstack
poetry install && poetry build

Unit Tests

You can test your code against test suite via tox.

MARKETSTACK_TOKEN_TEST=<Your-Marketstack-Free-Token> tox

Caution

This will consume about 30 API requests.
