Minute Crypto Data via API

[LClassen]

Dear Backtraders,

I am trying to download crypto trading data (preferrably Binance). I know that you can donwload day klines via YahooFinanceData. However, I did not find any api access to minute data. Can somebody help me out?

Cheers,
Leo

Get you api key and secret from your binance account
Here's what I use for binance.

import config, csv
from binance.client import Client

client = Client(config.API_KEY, config.API_SECRET)


# prices = client.get_all_tickers()
# for price in prices:
#     print(prices)

GUIDELINES

To change the timeframe to 1minute data, replace "1HOUR" with 
to "1MINUTE".

'''
csvfile = open("data/1HOUR/ZILBTC_Start_311220_1HOUR.csv", "w", newline="")
candlestick_writer = csv.writercsvfile,delimiter=',')
candlesticks = client.get_historical_klines("ZILBTC", Client.KLINE_INTERVAL_1HOUR,"01 Jan 2017","31 Dec 2020")


for candlestick in  candlesticks:
    candlestick[0] = candlestick[0] / 1000
    candlestick_writer.writerow(candlestick)
csvfile.close()
