Kraken

Cryptocurrency

Read Kraken's public market data. Get a live price for any of the 1,400-plus pairs it trades, pull candles for a chart or a moving average, look into the order book, follow the trades and the spread, and check whether the exchange is up before you rely on the figures. Kraken's derivatives platform is here too: contract terms, prices, order books, fills, funding rates, and an alert for any contract not trading normally. No API key, no account and no sign-up - and every action reads, so nothing can reach an account or move money.

Actions

Steps your workflow can run in Kraken.

Get a priceGet what one or more pairs are trading at right now: the last traded price, the best bid and ask, and the day's high, low, volume and change. This is the action for a price alert, a morning summary or a figure to drop into a message. Pick several pairs and they come back in one request.

Get price historyGet a pair's price as candles - the open, high, low and close of each minute, hour, day or week - for charting, for a moving average, or for comparing today against last month. Kraken is always still filling in the most recent candle, so each one says whether its period has closed: read 'complete' before treating a candle as settled.

Get the order bookSee the buy and sell orders waiting to be filled on one pair, best price first - what it would actually cost to trade a given size, rather than what the last trade happened to go at. The spread between the best bid and the best ask is worked out for you, along with how much is resting on each side.

List recent tradesList the trades that have actually happened on one pair, oldest first, each with its price, size, side and time. This is what really changed hands, as opposed to what is being asked for in the order book. To follow a pair over time, feed 'next_since' from one run into 'Start from' on the next and you pick up exactly where you left off.

Get spread historySee how the gap between the best bid and the best ask on one pair has moved over the last few minutes, with the narrowest, widest and average across the window. A widening spread is how thin liquidity shows up before it shows up in the price, so this is the one to watch before trading size.

List trading pairsSee what Kraken trades and on what terms: the smallest order it accepts, the smallest order value, the price increment, the standard maker and taker fees, and whether the pair is trading normally or restricted. Filter to one currency to see everything it trades against.

List currenciesSee the coins and currencies Kraken lists, whether each is currently enabled, how many decimal places it holds, and the code it goes by. Worth running once while building: Kraken's API calls bitcoin XBT and dogecoin XDG, and this is where that mapping is visible.

Check Kraken's statusCheck whether Kraken is trading, how quickly it is answering, and what maintenance it has announced. This is the one action that reports a problem as a value instead of failing the step, so a workflow can decide what to do about it - skip a report, wait, or say the figures are stale - rather than dying halfway through.

Get a futures priceGet what one or more futures contracts are trading at, with the two numbers only a derivatives market has: the funding rate, which says which side is paying the other to hold the position, and the open interest, which says how much is riding on it. The mark price - what positions are valued and liquidated at - comes back beside the last traded price.

Get futures funding ratesSee what holding a perpetual contract has cost, hour by hour. Funding is the payment that keeps a perpetual near the spot price: every hour one side pays the other, and a positive rate means the people who are long are paying the people who are short. The average is also given annualised, which is the figure that makes an hourly rate of 0.0005% mean something. Dated futures do not pay funding, and choosing one says so.

List futures contractsSee what Kraken's derivatives platform lists and the terms of each contract: its size, its price increment, when it was listed, and - for a dated future - when it stops trading. Filter to perpetuals, which run indefinitely and pay funding, or to dated futures, which expire on a set day.

Get a futures order bookSee the buy and sell orders waiting on one futures contract, best price first, with the spread and the resting size on each side worked out. Kraken publishes the whole book on the derivatives platform - often more than a thousand levels a side - so 'Price levels' decides how much of the top of it you get back.

List recent futures tradesList the fills that have actually happened on one futures contract, oldest first, each with its price, size, side and time. Kraken returns the hundred most recent; to walk further back, set 'Up to' to the earliest time you were given and run it again.

Check for unusual futures activityAsk Kraken which futures contracts are not trading normally right now - one whose price has come adrift of its index, or one moving violently enough for Kraken to have raised the margin behind it. Only the flagged contracts come back, so a scheduled check can branch on 'unusual_activity' instead of reading through several hundred contracts that are fine.
