I am a developer and I would like extend feed to use the BITMEX api. Can I contribute?

I am creating a new feed to Bitmex similar as the Yahoo Api (that is not working anymore).

Here is the docs: https://www.bitmex.com/app/restAPI.

What's guidelines I can adopt to contribute?

1. Create your data feed
2. Upload it to pypi with the name of your choosing, for example: bitmex_backtrader
3. Let users know in your docs they can do something like this

import backtrader as bt
from bitmex_backtrader import BitmexBacktrader

data = BitmexBacktrader(dataname=...)

cerebro = bt.Cerebro()
cerebro.addata(data)
...

@backtrader Thanks!

I will let know when I finished!

Hi @dedeco ,
I'm looking as well for a bitmex broker to be able to do live trade. Is they are anything I can help you ?
