Could Crypto Functionality be Added?

Hi alvarobartt,
Is it at all possible to include historical crypto data as searchable from investiny? Thanks for the great work so far.

Hi @sahelanthropussy, indeed you can currently do that with investiny.search_assets e.g.

from investiny import search_assets

results = search_assets(query="bitcoin")
print(results)
>>> [{'symbol': 'BTC/USD', 'full_name': 'Bitfinex:BTC/USD', 'description': 'Bitcoin US Dollar', 'type': 'Forex', 'ticker': '945629', 'exchange': 'Bitfinex'}, {'symbol': 'BTC/USD', 'full_name': 'Investing.com:BTC/USD', 'description': 'Bitcoin', 'type': 'Index', 'ticker': '1057391', 'exchange': 'Investing.com'}, {'symbol': 'WGMI', 'full_name': 'NASDAQ:WGMI', 'description': 'Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF', 'type': 'ETF', 'ticker': '1187014', 'exchange': 'NASDAQ'}, {'symbol': 'CRYP', 'full_name': 'NYSE:CRYP', 'description': 'AdvisorShares Managed Bitcoin Strategy ETF', 'type': 'ETF', 'ticker': '1188202', 'exchange': 'NYSE'}, {'symbol': 'BITI', 'full_name': 'NYSE:BITI', 'description': 'ProShares Short Bitcoin Strategy ETF', 'type': 'ETF', 'ticker': '1192319', 'exchange': 'NYSE'}, {'symbol': 'XBTF', 'full_name': 'NYSE:XBTF', 'description': 'VanEck Bitcoin Strategy ETF', 'type': 'ETF', 'ticker': '1178671', 'exchange': 'NYSE'}, {'symbol': 'BITS', 'full_name': 'NASDAQ:BITS', 'description': 'Global X Blockchain & Bitcoin Strategy ETF', 'type': 'ETF', 'ticker': '1187217', 'exchange': 'NASDAQ'}, {'symbol': 'BTF', 'full_name': 'NASDAQ:BTF', 'description': 'Valkyrie Bitcoin Strategy ETF', 'type': 'ETF', 'ticker': '1178479', 'exchange': 'NASDAQ'}, {'symbol': 'RIGZ', 'full_name': 'NYSE:RIGZ', 'description': 'Viridi Bitcoin Miners ETF', 'type': 'ETF', 'ticker': '1175614', 'exchange': 'NYSE'}, {'symbol': 'NYXBT', 'full_name': 'NYSE:NYXBT', 'description': 'NYSE Bitcoin', 'type': 'Index', 'ticker': '1011883', 'exchange': 'NYSE'}]

Then if you want to retrieve the historical data, you just need to retrieve the ticker of the one you want to get the historical data from e.g. 945629 which corresponds to BTC/USD, and run the following:

from investiny import historical_data

data = historical_data(investing_id= 945629)
print(data)
>>> {'date': ['09/19/2022', '09/20/2022', '09/21/2022', '09/22/2022', '09/23/2022', '09/24/2022', '09/25/2022', '09/26/2022', '09/27/2022', '09/28/2022', '09/29/2022', '09/30/2022', '10/01/2022', '10/02/2022', '10/03/2022', '10/04/2022', '10/05/2022', '10/06/2022', '10/07/2022', '10/08/2022', '10/09/2022', '10/10/2022', '10/11/2022', '10/12/2022', '10/13/2022', '10/14/2022', '10/15/2022', '10/16/2022', '10/17/2022'], 'open': [19424.00390625, 19544.515625, 18886.623046875, 18476.53515625, 19413, 19298.802734375, 18935, 18817, 19229.53125, 19096.595703125, 19419, 19588, 19429.990234375, 19317, 19066, 19638, 20340, 20156, 19957, 19533, 19418.01171875, 19444.4296875, 19128, 19062.02734375, 19158, 19387, 19187, 19072, 19266], 'high': [19684, 19634, 19888, 19502, 19512, 19314.00390625, 19179, 19326, 20373, 19783, 19651.27734375, 20171, 19485, 19396, 19688, 20470, 20363, 20444, 20053, 19621.373046875, 19551.369140625, 19526.958984375, 19260, 19232, 19503, 19946, 19227, 19428, 19683], 'low': [18318, 18769, 18214, 18378.755859375, 18562, 18822, 18647, 18699, 18856, 18495, 18863, 19201, 19172, 18945, 18985, 19510, 19756.822265625, 19866, 19336, 19275, 19326, 19056, 18870, 19026, 18200, 19103, 18993, 19068, 19168], 'close': [19544.515625, 18886.623046875, 18476.53515625, 19413, 19298.802734375, 18935, 18817, 19229.53125, 19096.595703125, 19419, 19588, 19429.990234375, 19317, 19066, 19638, 20340, 20156, 19957, 19533, 19418.01171875, 19444.4296875, 19128, 19062.02734375, 19158, 19387, 19187, 19072, 19269, 19516]}
