Upvest Investment API

This Python package is NOT a fully fledged API client.

So far, it implements the parts of the HTTP Message Signatures, draft version 15 functionality which are required to interact with the Upvest Investment API.

Next to a generic implementation, this is also provided as a custom authentication mechanism for the requests Python package when you install this package with the requests-auth extra enabled like so: pip install upvest-investment-api[requests-auth]

For examples how to use this, please refer to Upvest's Python code examples.

Required dependency

This Python package relies on the cryptography package to do the heavy lifting for HTTP Message Signatures.

Optional dependencies / Package extras

This Python package uses optional dependencies to give you control over which additional dependencies get installed when using it:

• The package extra requests-auth installs the requests package which is required to provide the requests custom authentication mechanism mentioned above.
• The package extra file-download installs the requests package and the PGPy package which both are required to enable downloading files from the Upvest Investment API. See how to use it in this MiFIR report file download code example.
• The package extra env-settings installs the environs package which is used to load all settings and the access credentials for the Upvest Investment API from environment variables.

You can specify multiple extras at the same time as a comma-separated list like so: pip install upvest-investment-api[requests-auth,env-settings,file-download], optionally pinning the version like so: pip install upvest-investment-api[requests-auth,env-settings,file-download]==0.0.1a3
