Quick Start
from tigeropen.common.consts import Language, Market
from tigeropen.tiger_open_config import TigerOpenClientConfig
from tigeropen.common.util.signature_utils import read_private_key
from tigeropen.quote.quote_client import QuoteClient
from tigeropen.trade.trade_client import TradeClient
# 1. Configure / 配置
# 方式一：配置文件(推荐) / Method 1: Config file (recommended)
config = TigerOpenClientConfig(props_path='/path/to/your/config/')
# 方式二：代码赋值 / Method 2: Code assignment
# config = TigerOpenClientConfig()
# config.tiger_id = 'your_tiger_id'
# config.private_key = read_private_key('/path/to/your_private_key.pem')
# config.account = 'your_account'
# config.language = Language.en_US
# 2. Query quotes / 查询行情
quote_client = QuoteClient(config)
quote = quote_client.get_market_status(Market.US)
# 3. Place order / 下单
trade_client = TradeClient(config)
# See references/trade.md for order examples
