kingchenc 2ae76bb90e feat(data): native Binance REST kline fetcher in 9 languages (#315)
Adds `BinanceRest::fetch_klines` to `wickra-data`: a blocking historical kline
downloader (`GET /api/v3/klines`) and the historical counterpart to the F4 live
`BinanceFeed`. It is the last native data-layer primitive needed to drop
third-party HTTP/JSON download helpers (`jackson`, `jsonlite`, `urllib`, …) from
the examples.

## What

- **Core** (`wickra-data`): `fetch_klines(symbol, interval, limit, start?, end?)`
  built on `ureq` with native-tls — sharing the exact same TLS backend
  (native-tls 0.2 / SChannel) as the existing tokio-tungstenite live feed, so the
  two pull one TLS stack, not two. Parses Binance's 12-element array rows via the
  existing serde infrastructure into validated `Candle`s. Blocking by design (a
  one-shot request needs no async runtime; the FFI boundary is synchronous
  anyway). Nine mock-HTTP-server tests cover parse / empty / limit / transport /
  JSON / invariant-violation paths.
- **C ABI**: `wickra_binance_fetch_klines(...)` (blocking drain into a caller
  buffer, `-1` on error) + regenerated cbindgen header and its vendored Go copy.
- **Bindings**: native Node `fetchBinanceKlines` / Python `fetch_binance_klines`;
  generated Go `FetchBinanceKlines` / C# `BinanceFeed.FetchKlines` / Java
  `BinanceFeed.fetchKlines` / R `fetch_binance_klines`. C / C++ call the C ABI
  directly. **WASM is excluded** (browsers use the host `fetch`).

The four C-ABI bindings are regenerated from the ScriptHelpers generators (not
hand-edited); the regen diff is exactly the new wrapper in each.

## Verification

All ten toolchains green locally: Rust (`cargo test`/`clippy`/`fmt`), Node, Python,
Go, C#, Java, R (`R CMD INSTALL` + smoke), WASM (`cargo check`, confirmed `ureq`
is not pulled). Each binding has an error-path smoke test; the parse/HTTP success
path is covered by the Rust mock-server tests.

No release in this PR — ships with the data-layer + numpy bundle later.

Wickra — Python

CI codecov PyPI License: MIT OR Apache-2.0

Streaming-first technical indicators for Python. pip install wickra — no system dependencies, no C build tooling.

Wickra is a multi-language technical-analysis library with a Rust core and bindings for Python, Node.js and WASM, plus a C ABI for C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R and any other C-capable language. Every indicator is an O(1) streaming state machine, so live trading bots and historical backtests share the exact same implementation. This package is the Python binding (PyO3); it exposes all 514 streaming-first indicators across twenty-four families.

Install

pip install wickra

Pre-built wheels ship for Linux, macOS, and Windows — there is nothing to compile and no C library to track down.

Quick start

import numpy as np
import wickra as ta

# Batch: classic TA-Lib-style usage over a whole array.
prices = np.linspace(100, 200, 1000)
rsi = ta.RSI(14)
values = rsi.batch(prices)              # numpy array, NaN during warmup

# Streaming: the same indicator, fed tick by tick in O(1).
rsi = ta.RSI(14)
for price in live_feed:
    value = rsi.update(price)           # no recomputation over history
    if value is not None and value > 70:
        print("overbought")

batch(prices) and feeding the same prices through update() produce identical values — the equivalence is enforced by the test suite.

Benchmark

Two benchmarks ship with the binding:

  • benchmarks/throughput.py — streaming and batch updates-per-second for SMA, ATR and MACD. This is per-binding FFI overhead (the same Rust core runs under every binding), not a cross-library ratio.
  • benchmarks/compare_libraries.py — the cross-library comparison against TA-Lib, pandas-ta, tulipy and finta that backs the headline speedups.
maturin develop --release
python -m benchmarks.throughput
python -m benchmarks.compare_libraries   # cross-library; auto-detects installed peers

See the repository BENCHMARKS.md.

Documentation

The full indicator catalogue, guides, quickstarts, and API reference live in the main repository and documentation site:

Wickra ships native bindings for Python, Node.js, WASM and Rust, plus a C ABI hub that any C-capable language (C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R) links against — all exposing the same indicators from the shared, unsafe-forbidden Rust core.

Disclaimer

Wickra is an indicator toolkit, not a trading system. The values it computes are deterministic transforms of the input data — they are not financial advice and do not predict the market. Any use in a live trading context is at your own risk. The library is provided as is, without warranty of any kind.
