Authentication

You must authenticate to use the CryptoHFTData API. To authenticate, you must have an API key. You can make an API key in your dashboard.

Get Your API Key

Log in to your CryptoHFTData dashboard.
In the API Access section, click "Generate API Key".
Copy your API key. Keep it in a safe location.

Use Your API Key

Python

1import cryptohftdata as chd
2import os
3
4# Method 1: Pass API key directly
5client = chd.CryptoHFTDataClient(api_key="your-api-key-here")
6
7# Method 2: Set environment variable
8os.environ['CRYPTOHFTDATA_API_KEY'] = 'your-api-key-here'
9client = chd.CryptoHFTDataClient()  # Will automatically use env variable

Security Note

Do not write your API key directly in production code. Use environment variables or a secure system that manages your configuration.
