FAQ

Questions Kraken owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need an API key?

    No! All public market data (tickers, OHLC, trades, order book, spreads, asset info) is available without authentication. Just subscribe and start querying.

  • 02

    What trading pairs are available?

    Kraken supports 500+ trading pairs including major pairs like XBT/USD, ETH/USD, ETH/XBT, SOL/USD and many altcoin pairs. Use get_asset_pairs to see the complete list.

  • 03

    What timeframes are available for OHLC data?

    OHLC data is available in these intervals: 1 (1 minute), 5, 15, 30, 60 (1 hour), 240 (4 hours), 1440 (1 day), 10080 (1 week), 21600 (15 days). Use get_ohlc with the interval parameter.

  • 04

    What is the difference between XBT and BTC?

    They're the same cryptocurrency! XBT is the ISO 4217 standard code for Bitcoin used by Kraken's API, while BTC is the common ticker symbol. Kraken pairs use XBT (e.g., XBTUSD = Bitcoin/US Dollar).
