python-bittrex missing positional arguments

Question

I am trying to make a buy limit purchase via the bittrex api and I am getting an error that my arguments are in the wrong place.

from bittrex.bittrex import API_V2_0, Bittrex
import json

my_bittrex = Bittrex("zzzzz", "zzzzz", api_version=API_V2_0)

trade = 'BTC'
currency = 'TRX'
market = '{0}-{1}'.format(trade, currency)


b = (my_bittrex.buy_limit({market, 100, float(0.00005550)}))

error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bittrex/apitest.py", line 17, in <module>
    b = (my_bittrex.buy_limit({market, 100, float(0.00005550)}))
TypeError: buy_limit() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'quantity' and 'rate'

How do I properly position my arguments for bittrex?

Answer 1

Looking at the source code from ericsomdahl/python-bittrex

For the buy_limit function it looks like you are passing values to the function incorrectly. You shouldn't be passing a dictionary, instead it should look something like this:

b = my_bittrex.buy_limit(market=market, quantity=100, rate=float(0.00005550))

Or this

params = {'market': market, 'quantity': 100, 'rate': float(0.00005550)}
b = my_bittrex.buy_limit(**params)

For the trade_buy method you can pass parameters in a similar way:

b = my_bittrex.trade_buy(
    market=market, 
    quantity=100, 
    rate=float(0.00005550))
