lsbisq

A script that lists all current Bisq offers in the terminal

Bisq is a decentralized bitcoin exchange that allows us to buy or sell bitcoin peer-to-peer.

This script shows all current buy or sell offers in the Bisq network in our preferred fiat currency.

Parameters

We can indicate the following paramenters in our script header:

avoid_methods: payment methods to hide in order to get a cleaner output

Usage

lsbisq.py -t <type_of_order> -f <fiat> -d <max_deviation>

Where:

<type_of_order>: (string) BUY or SELL (example: -t BUY). Default value is BUY
<fiat>: (string) Currency we want to exchange for bitcoin (example:-f EUR). Default value is EUR
<limit>: (integer) Max deviation (in percentage) from market price (example: -d 8). Default value is 8 %

Alternatively:

lsbisq.py -h : to show help and check on possible fiat currencies

Example output

$ lsbisq.py

Possible use cases

One can use this script to check on current offers and decide if starting the Bisq program in order to buy or sell bitcoin. Take into account that it is possible to run this script wherever we have Python installed, including an Android phone using Termux.

It is very easy to automate it and, eg., get an SMS notification once the script finds a quotation we might be interested in.
