The goal behind this project is to facilitate downloading cryptocurrency candlestick data fast & simple. Currently only the Bitfinex exchange is supported with more to come in future releases.
The command-line interface is built using Click, which is intuitive and will prompt you for the commands.
Once the data is downloaded, it will be converted and stored in a .csv, .sqlite3 and .pickle file for convenient analysis.
The data will include the Open, High, Low, Close of the candles and the volume during the interval and its timestamp.
See documentation and Github repository for more information.
