PyVeil Client

Pyveil Client is a python client for interacting with veil.co - a user-friendly prediction market based on augur and 0x.

Quick Start Guide

Initial Setup

Make sure you have python3 and virtualenv installed. On Mac OS you can use brew to install python3 and then pip3 (which is python3's built-in package manager) to install virtualenv:

brew install python3
pip3 install virtualenv

Once you have confirmed python3 and virtualenv are successfully installed, install all the dependencies using:

source setup

The above script will do two things:

1. It will create the pyveil_env virtual environment and install the python packages required for running PyVeil Client.
2. It will activate the virtualenv required for running PyVeil Client.

Setting Up environment Variables

You will need two keys for using the Pyveil Client.

1. Infura API Key

Make an account with infura and get an API key so can interact with the Ethereum blockchain.

2. Ethereum Wallet Private Key

Get the private key from the Ethereum wallet that is associated with your veil account). WARNING: Be very careful as this is your account's spend key, so you need to make sure you are on a computer you trust.

Add the following environment variables to your OS's startup configuration (typical .bashrc or .zshrc):

INFURA_API_KEY=<your_infura_key_here>
PRIVATE_KEY=<your_wallet_key_here>

Using Jupyter Notebooks to Interactively Make a Bot

Make sure the environment is active (source setup.py). Then, run jupyter from the ./notebooks directory using the command:

PYTHONPATH=../src jupyter notebook

The above command should open a notebook server in your default browser. Open the included Veil Playground.ipynb notebook to example usage of the API.
