Code artifacts included with this repository have been forked from the https://github.com/matthiaslinden/bitcoinDE_API repository. The API has been tested against Python 3.7 (especially a remote Python configuration using Docker). See the original repository for further details about implemented API client functionality.
- added Docker support
- fixed code issues (code has been aligned with PEP-8)
- fixed typos, and also removed informational comments
- adjusted OOP-design (made changes to inheritance) add event-sinks objects
- disabled ws1-endpoint, since this one does not seem to work without issues
- removed imprecise/noisy debug outputs
- adds support for event sinks to
MultiSource - adds a ZeroMQ PUB socket event sink (publishes message-packed events).
- adds commandline parsing capabilities to the WebSocket API application (defines --port argument for the ZeroMQ PUB socket server).
This ZeroMQ PUB socket feature turns the application into a WebSocket API proxy service that is easier to consume by
other applications. It opens a ZeroMQ PUB socket server on port 5634 that does not use any topics. Any event
aggregated by the MultiSource client gets published over the socket. Event data is encoded/packed
using msgpack (see pack method in Event class). The message has the following format:
message = {
"timestamp": int, # indicates the unix-timestamp (utc, seconds) when the event has been aggregated
"type": str, # the event type, for instance: add, rm, ..
"id": str,
"data": dict # event-specific data
