Revolut Trading

Revolut Trading Skill

This skill provides tools and documentation for interacting with the Revolut X Crypto Exchange API.

Capabilities

• Authentication: Securely authenticate using Ed25519 key pairs.
• Market Data: Fetch real-time market data including order books, trades, and candles.
• Trading: Place, cancel, and manage orders.
• Account Management: Retrieve account balances and transaction history.

Quick Start

1. Authentication

To use the API, you need an API Key and a private key. See 00_api_overview_and_authentication.md for details on generating keys.

2. Using the Python Client

A Python client wrapper is provided in scripts/revolut_client.py. This script handles authentication and request signing for you.

Example Usage:

from scripts.revolut_client import RevolutClient

# Initialize the client
client = RevolutClient(
    private_key_path="path/to/private_key.pem",
    api_key="your_api_key"
)

# Get all currencies
currencies = client.get_currencies()
print(currencies)

# Get account balances
balances = client.get_balances()
print(balances)

# Place a limit order
order = client.place_order(
    client_order_id="unique_id_123",
    symbol="BTC-USD",
    side="buy",
    order_configuration={
        "limit": {
            "price": "50000",
            "base_size": "0.001"
        }
    }
)
print(order)
