Installation

Using pip3

Run pip3 install polygon-cli

Using the source code

1. Install Python3 and setuputils module (for example, it goes with pip3)

2. Checkout repo using git clone https://github.com/kunyavskiy/polygon-cli.git

3. Run python3 setup.py install [--user]

   • On Linux, it will put the executable polygon-cli in /usr/local/bin
   • On Windows, it will put the executable polygon-cli in Scripts directory of your Python3 installation. It should be added to the path variable for easier usage.

   Add the option --user to install as local user without root/administrator privileges.

4. Even if it doesn't run, install the dependencies manually as below,

   • pip3 install requests
   • pip3 install colorama
   • pip3 install prettytable
   • pip3 install pyyaml

Running and authentication

Run using polygon-cli command.

Usually the usage starts with (use problem short name or problem id instead of aplusb):

• polygon-cli init aplusb
• polygon-cli update

The commands above create a working copy in the current folder. Use polygon-cli -h to see other commands of the client.

On the first usage login, password, api_key and api_secret will be asked.

They will be stored locally in plain text.

You may leave password field empty. If you do that, some features based on html parsing, because of lack of api will not work then.
