Python loader for historical crypto books and trades
What it is
A Python client for historical cryptocurrency market data aimed at quant research and machine learning. It loads order-book snapshots, tick trades, and one-minute trade candles for chosen symbols and exchanges, and it caches results while fetching in parallel. A sample slice is available without an account; queries past that sample need a paid plan's AWS credentials. Researchers who want that history as a dataframe are the audience, and without those credentials the call stays on the sample, writing a cache directory into the working tree.
