Load

usage: load [-c COIN] [--source {cp,cg,bin,cb}] [-s START] [--vs VS] [-i INTERVAL] [-h]

Load crypto currency to perform analysis on. Available data sources are CoinGecko, CoinPaprika, Binance, Coinbase. By default main source used for analysis is CoinGecko (cg). To change it use –source flag.

optional arguments:
  -c COIN, --coin COIN  Coin to get (default: None)
  --source {cp,cg,bin,cb}
                        Source of data (default: cg)
  -s START, --start START
                        The starting date (format YYYY-MM-DD) of the crypto (default: 2021-02-14)
  --vs VS               Quote currency (what to view coin vs) (default: usd)
  -i INTERVAL, --interval INTERVAL
                        Interval to get data (Only available on binance/coinbase) (default: 1day)
  -h, --help            show this help message (default: False)

All the sources share the arguments specified above but --interval and --vs differ from source to source.

For CoinPaprika and CoinGecko are similar:

  --vs VS              The currency to look the loaded coin against. Both USD and BTC are supported. Default: `USD`
  -i/--interval        Interval to look data for. These two sources only support daily data. Default: `1day`

For Coinbase:

  --vs VS              The currency to look the loaded coin against. Depends on the crypto loaded. Default: `USDT`
  -i/--interval        Interval to look data for. Default is `1day` but support all of the following: ['1min', '5min', '15min', '1hour', '6hour', '24hour', '1day']

For Binance:

  --vs VS             The currency to look the loaded coin against. Depends on the crypto loaded. Default: `USDT`
  -i/--interval       Interval to look data for. Default is `1day` but support all of the following: ['1day', '3day', '1hour', '2hour', '4hour', '6hour', '8hour', '12hour', '1week', '1min', '3min', '5min', '15min', '30min', '1month']
