Bitcoin Price API
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are trying to do interesting things with bitcoin price data,
you shouldn't have to be concerned with the low-level details of how
to obtain that data, or the particular JSON structures that it comes in.
This module will provide a unified way of getting price data from various
exchanges which have publicly available API's, as well as a unified
representation of that data rather than exchange specific ones.

### Quick Guide

>>> from exchanges.bitfinex import Bitfinex
        >>> Bitfinex().get_current_price()
        Decimal('371.17')

### Dependencies

The only dependency is on the `requests` library. You can either
do `pip install requests` or `pip install -r requirements.txt` inside the
directory.

### Bitstamp, Bitfinex, OKCoin, Huobi, and Coinapult

All of these classes expose the interface below:

get_current_price()
    get_current_bid()
    get_current_ask()

which will return a `Decimal` object.
Note that all exchanges return values in USD, with the
exception of Huobi which returns CNY.

Coinapult is special in that you can specify the currency for the above
three methods.

get_current_price(currency='EUR')

### Coindesk

The Coindesk class offers a much richer price interface:

get_current_price(currency='USD')
    get_past_price(date)
    get_historical_data_as_dict(start='2013-09-01', end=None)
    get_historical_data_as_list(start='2013-09-01', end=None)

`get_current_price` and `get_past_price` both return `Decimal` objects.

`get_current_price` takes in an optional parameter specifying the currency.

The dates for all functions must be in the form 'YYYY-MM-DD'.

`get_historical_data_as_dict` will return a dictionary of the following format:

{'2014-10-20': 400.00, '2014-10-21': 301.99}

Remember that these date/prices will not be in any given order.

`get_historical_data_as_list` will return a list of dictionaries, correctly
sorted by date from start to end.

[
        {'date': 'YYYY-MM-DD', 'price': 300.00},
        {'date': 'YYYY-MM-DD', 'price': 301.00 }
    ]
