About

Put simply, PybitEV is a hard fork of the original Pybit project, upgraded with fast asyncronous support, using the built in asyncio library and the aiohttp library. pybitEV (Python + Bybit) is a lightweight one-stop-shop module for the Bybit REST HTTP and WebSocket APIs.

I was personally never a fan of auto-generated connectors that used a mosh-pit of various modules you didn't want (sorry, bravado) and wanted to build my own Python3-dedicated connector with very little external resources. The goal of the connector is to provide traders and developers with an easy-to-use high-performing module that has an active issue and discussion board leading to consistent improvements.

Development

After considerable contributions to the original pybit community project, I decided to create the pybitEV hard fork of the original repository (credit to verata-veritatis for the early iterations) and maintain this fork as a public, true community project.

pybitEV was being actively developed, especially since Bybit was making changes and improvements to their API on a daily basis (we're still missing some key functions such as bulk order submission or withdrawals). It is compatible up to V2 of the Bybit APIs. pybitEV uses aiohttp for its methods, alongside other built-in modules, such as asyncio, for high performance asyncronous operations.

Feel free to fork this repository, issue reports for any bugs and add pull requests for any improvements.

Installation

pybitEV requires Python 3.8 or higher. The module can be installed manually. Pip installation support will be considered.

Usage

You can retrieve the HTTP and WebSocket classes like so:

import asyncio
from pybit import Exchange

Create an HTTP session and connect via WebSocket using context manager protocol:

async def main():
    async with Exchange() as session:
        rest = session.rest(
            endpoint='https://api.bybit.com',
            api_key='...',
            api_secret='...',
            contract_type='linear'
        )
        ws = session.websocket(
            endpoint='wss://stream.bybit.com/realtime',
            subscriptions=['instrument_info.100ms.ETHUSD']
        )
asyncio.run(main())

Information can be sent to, or retrieved from, the Bybit APIs:

async def main():
    async with Exchange() as session:
        rest = session.rest(...)

        # Get orderbook.
        print(await rest.orderbook(symbol='EOSUSD'))

        # Create five long orders.
        orders = [{
            'symbol': 'BTCUSD', 
            'order_type': 'Limit', 
            'side': 'Buy', 
            'qty': 100, 
            'price': i,
            'time_in_force': 'GoodTillCancel'
        } for i in [5000, 5500, 6000, 6500, 7000]]

        # Submit the orders in bulk, asyncronously.
        await rest.place_active_order_bulk(orders, max_in_parallel=10) 

asyncio.run(main())

Check out the example python files for more information on available endpoints and methods. More documentation and examples on the HTTP and WebSocket methods is available in the examples directory.
