# Kalshi CLI tool 

Enables CLI interaction with [Kalshi's](https://kalshi.com/home) trading api.

Supported operations include:

- Retrieve all markets

- Retrieve individual market by ID

- Retrieve user positions

- Place order (with custom expiration, not supported via UI)

[Kalshi docs](https://kalshi-public-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/KalshiAPI.html) 

### Setup

WIP

### Usage

    kalshi help - lists usages within CLI

    

###### Placing Orders

    kalshi buy -a  -id  -p  -s  -e  -max  -sellCap  

    kalshi sell -a  -id  -p  -s  -e  -max  -sellCap  

There are no "buy" and "sell" orders in kalshi, you can buy shares on one side, or you can buy the opposite 

side to close a position (see the site for more details). The sell command, therefore, attempts to place an order to "close", 

or buy a contract on the opposite side that you offer (all contracts are yes/no binaries)

###### Retrieving Markets

    kalshi getMarket -id 

    kalshi getMarkets

    

###### Retrieving Positions

    kalshi positions

### Notes

This tool is still a WIP. Outstanding items include:

- Supporting new Kalshi API methods

- Using local json to map ticker to market ID for methods dependent on market ID

- Additional test coverage

- Pretty print orderbook

- Pretty print market bids for cached markets

- Add addtional arguments for methods not currently supported
