See full downloadable CSV files documentation with datasets format spec, data samples and more.

# requires Python >=3.6
# pip install tardis-dev

from tardis_dev import datasets, get_exchange_details
import logging

# optionally enable debug logs
# logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

exchange = 'okex'
exchange_details = get_exchange_details(exchange)   

# iterate over and download all data for every symbol
for symbol in exchange_details["datasets"]["symbols"]:
    # alternatively specify datatypes explicitly ['trades', 'incremental_book_L2', 'quotes'] etc
    # see available options https://docs.tardis.dev/downloadable-csv-files#data-types
    data_types = symbol["dataTypes"]  
    symbol_id = symbol["id"]
    from_date =  symbol["availableSince"]
    to_date = symbol["availableTo"]

    # skip groupped symbols
    if symbol_id in ['PERPETUALS', 'SPOT', 'FUTURES']:
        continue

    print(f"Downloading {exchange} {data_types} for {symbol_id} from {from_date} to {to_date}")

    # each CSV dataset format is documented at https://docs.tardis.dev/downloadable-csv-files#data-types
    # see https://docs.tardis.dev/downloadable-csv-files#download-via-client-libraries for full options docs
    datasets.download(
        exchange = exchange,
        data_types = data_types,
        from_date =  from_date,
        to_date = to_date,
        symbols = [symbol_id],
        # TODO set your API key here
        api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY",
        # path where CSV data will be downloaded into
        download_dir = "./datasets",
    )

See docs that shows all available download options (download path customization, filenames conventions and more).

API Access and data format

Historical data format is the same as provided by real-time OKX WebSocket v3 API with addition of local timestamps. If you'd like to work with normalized data format instead (same format for each exchange) see downloadable CSV files or official client libs that can perform data normalization client-side.

# pip install tardis-client
import asyncio
from tardis_client import TardisClient, Channel
tardis_client = TardisClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

async def replay():
  # replay method returns Async Generator
  messages = tardis_client.replay(
    exchange="okex",
    from_date="2020-01-01",
    to_date="2020-01-02",
    filters=[Channel(name="spot/trade", symbols=[])]
  )

  # messages as provided by OKEx real-time stream
  async for local_timestamp, message in messages:
    print(message)


asyncio.run(replay())

See Python client docs.
