Coderunner is currently in dev/testing and not available to all Cryptowatch clients.
We run your code so you don't have to. Go to https://cryptowat.ch/coderunner to try.
Quick start
1.Name your script
2.Click the "New Script" button next to the input to create it
3.Copy/paste the code below these steps
4.Click Save
5.In the generated form at the bottom type your name
6.Click "Run Greet"
def greet(name: str):
    if not name:
        name = "World"
    print(f"Hello {name}!")
Introduction
Scripting is a new service we are building that will allow users to create and execute their own custom trading scripts on top of CW’s trading infrastructure.
Cryptowatch has public APIs. Currently if a trader wants to automate a task, perhaps create a custom series of orders with complex conditions, they have the ability to write the code to access these APIs and run it on their computer.
While running it locally is great while developing, it is not a long term solution for serious automated trading. For that you would need to find a hosting provider and set up a server (or cluster for redundancy) set up monitoring, failovers, and generally invest a lot of time learning dev-ops, or hiring someone.
There is a steep learning curve to dev-ops, which takes time away from developing strategies, hosting providers will cost money, and downtime can cause trades to be missed.
Coderunner will remove all the tedious and expensive infrastructure costs and allow traders to focus on the part they care about, their strategies.
You can access the demo here: https://cryptowat.ch/coderunner​
1.Users create a trading script in their language of choice while leveraging CW SDKs. For now, only Python will be enabled.
2.Scripts generate dynamic forms that create fields for customizable script params.
3.Users can preview and execute the script.
Cryptowatch Python SDK
Fetching market data via public API
The Python SDK matches Cryptowatch's Public API 1 to 1.
All the public API endpoints can be accessed by replacing the slashes (/) in the URL with dots (.) if using the object properties or using brackets ([ ]) if using dictionary lookups.
Both styles can be used together if it makes sense in your code.
Curl example
​
$ curl "<https://api.cryptowat.ch/markets/kraken/btceur/price>"

List of ints
The variable "LIST_OF_INTS" is a "type".

LIST_OF_INTS = list[int]
 
def list_of_ints(my_list: LIST_OF_INTS):
    return my_list
Rendered form from list_of_ints
List of ints with description and title
Here you can see that by using "typing.Annotated" and wrapping the original "LIST_OF_INTS" type we can add a title to the list of items and a description.
import typing
 
LIST_OF_INTS = list[int]
DESCRIPTIVE_LIST_OF_INTS = typing.Annotated[LIST_OF_INTS, '{"title": "My numbers","description": "Add your favorite numbers"}']
 
def descriptive_ints(i: DESCRIPTIVE_LIST_OF_INTS):
   return i
Dropdown of specific options
Using "typing.Literal" let's allow it to create a dropdown input that has a list to choose from.
For now, it is required to add the "{"type": "string"}" annotation, but it should be automatic in the future.
import typing
 
SPECIFIC_THINGS = typing.Annotated[
  typing.Literal["item 1", "item 2"],
  '{"type": "string"}'
]
 
def my_thing(thing: SPECIFIC_THINGS):
    return thing

Error Messages/Debugging
Standard Out is captured and returned.
Unhandled Exceptions are also returned with the type, message, and line number if possible.
Example:
Code
def make_error():

    1/0
Error
{
  "line": 14,
  "column": 4,
  "msg": "division by zero",
  "type": "ZeroDivisionError",
  "line_helper": "    1/0"
}
