[PLUS] Historical OHLCV Data from Bitstamp with Python

by CryptoDataDownload

Pulling all Bitstamp Historical Data
In this follow up article, we will extend what we previously did in Python, which was retrieving all available Bitstamp trading pairs information and saving to CSV. Now we will use these symbols (that are enabled for trading) to pull all historical OHLCV (which stands for Open-High-Low-Close-Volume) data for that symbol. Running this code for BTC/USD returned data all the way back to 2011! Once it has retrieved the data from the Bitstamp API, this script will write a CSV file for that data set. At the time of this writing, there were 177 unique cryptocurrency pairs available for trading at Bitstamp; so expect 177 individual files on completion. You can always use your own symbol list to download pairs you are interested in. If you want to create your own list, please remember that Bitstamp's API wants the symbols in lowercase. So for example, "BTC/EUR" would be passed to API as "btceur". Feel free to customize to your purpose; and please email us if you have a tweak that would benefit you to see. As always for our code content, we comment every line of code so you have a good understanding of what each line is doing.
