## Installation
pip install requests
Quick Start
from claw\_lite import create\_monitor
\# Create monitor
monitor = create\_monitor()
\# Check current prices
btc\_price = monitor.get\_price("BTC", "lnmarkets")
eth\_price = monitor.get\_price("ETH", "hyperliquid")
sol\_price = monitor.get\_price("SOL", "hyperliquid")
print(f"BTC: ${btc\_price:,.2f}")
print(f"ETH: ${eth\_price:,.2f}")
print(f"SOL: ${sol\_price:,.2f}")
Usage Examples
Get Single Asset Price
\# Bitcoin price from LN Markets
btc\_price = monitor.get\_price("BTC", "lnmarkets")
\# Ethereum price from Hyperliquid
eth\_price = monitor.get\_price("ETH", "hyperliquid")
Get Multiple Prices
assets = \["BTC", "ETH", "SOL", "AVAX"]
prices = monitor.get\_prices(assets, "hyperliquid")
for asset, price in prices.items():
print(f"{asset}: ${price:,.2f}")
View Account Balance (Hyperliquid)
Note: Requires setting your public wallet address
export HYPERLIQUID\_ACCOUNT\_ADDRESS="0xYourAddressHere"
balance = monitor.get\_balance("hyperliquid")
print(f"Account Value: ${balance:,.2f}")
View Open Positions (Hyperliquid)
positions = monitor.get\_positions("hyperliquid")
for pos in positions:
print(f"{pos\['coin']}: {pos\['size']} @ ${pos\['entryPx']}")
Platform-Specific Notes

• Balance/positions require HYPERLIQUID\_ACCOUNT\_ADDRESS env var
• Uses public API endpoints (no authentication needed for prices)
LN Markets

"Error fetching price"
