‘result’ is a hash of pair keys, each with a values hash containing: ‘altname’ = alternate pair name
‘aclass_base’ = asset class of base component
‘base’ = asset id of base component
‘aclass_quote’ = asset class of quote component

‘result’ is an array containing a pair name and the keys ‘asks’ and ‘bids’ each followed by an array of ‘price’, ‘volume’, and ‘timestamp>’.

Package

Source

file-type.lisp.

Function: generate-kraken-nonce ()

Kraken requires the nonce to be an always-increasing unsigned integer between 51 and 64 bits in length. For this, we use UNIX-TIME-IN-MICROSECONDS below, expressed as a string. This is analogous to the nonce implementations in the various other Kraken API libraries in C, C++, Go, Python, and Ruby.

Package

cl-kraken/src/time.

Source

file-type.lisp.

Function: ohlc (pair &key since interval raw verbose)

Get OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) public price data for an asset pair.
URL: https://api.kraken.com/0/public/OHLC
Input:
PAIR = required single asset pair for which to query OHLC data INTERVAL = optional integer time interval in minutes defaulting to 1, permitted values are 1, 5, 15, 30, 60, 240, 1440, 10080, 21600; Kraken returns an Invalid Arguments error for other values SINCE = optional integer Unix Time id from when to return new committed OHLC data, corresponding to previous OHLC ‘last’ values. Kraken returns a hash with keys ‘error’ and ‘result’.
‘result’ is an array containing a pair name and a ‘last’ Unix Time id.
- The pair name contains an array of arrays, each containing values for ‘time’, ‘open’, ‘high’, ‘low’, ‘close’, ‘VWAP’, ‘volume’ and ‘count’. - ‘last’ is a Unix Time id for the current not-yet-committed frame. Useful as value for SINCE when querying for new committed OHLC data.

General HTTP GET/POST request and JSON parsing function.

Package

Function: server-time (&key raw verbose)

Get server time. Useful to approximate skew time between server and client. URL: https://api.kraken.com/0/public/Time
Kraken returns a hash with keys ‘error’ and ‘result’.
‘result’ is an array of hashes with keys:
‘unixtime’ = unix timestamp
‘rfc1123’ = RFC 1123 time format

Package

cl-kraken.

Source

file-type.lisp.

Function: signature (path nonce data secret)

Signature generated from the HMAC SHA512 of a message and key:
message = (PATH + SHA256(NONCE + POST DATA)) in octets
key = base64-decoded SECRET in octets
Before returning, the signature is converted from octets to a base64 string.

Package

cl-kraken/src/cryptography.

Source

file-type.lisp.

Function: spread (pair &key since raw verbose)

Get recent spread data for an asset pair.
URL: https://api.kraken.com/0/public/Spread
Input:
PAIR = required single asset pair for which to query spread data
SINCE = optional integer Unix Time id from when to return spread data, corresponding to previous spread ‘last’ values.
Note: SINCE is inclusive, so any returned data with the same time as a previous set should overwrite all of the previous set’s entries. Kraken returns a hash with keys ‘error’ and ‘result’.
‘result’ is an array containing a pair name and a ‘last’ Unix Time id.
- The pair name contains an array of arrays for ‘time’, ‘bid’, and ‘ask’. - ‘last’ is a Unix Time id to use for SINCE when querying new spread.

Package

Function: ticker (pair &key raw verbose)

Get ticker data for asset pairs.
URL: https://api.kraken.com/0/public/Ticker
Input:
‘pair’ = required comma-delimited list of one or more asset pairs. Kraken returns a hash with keys ‘error’ and ‘result’.
‘result’ is a hash of pair keys, each with a values hash of ticker data: a = ask array (price, whole lot volume, lot volume) b = bid array (price, whole lot volume, lot volume) c = last trade closed array (price, lot volume)

Input:
PAIR = optional, comma-delimited, case-insensitive asset pair string; if not provided, defaults to all pairs.
FEE-INFO = optional boolean whether or not to include fee info in results. Note: Currently appears to be not implemented by Kraken, since the fee info is always returned.
Kraken returns a hash with keys ‘error’ and ‘result’.
‘result’ is a hash of pair keys, each with a values hash containing: ‘currency’ = volume currency
‘volume’ = current discount volume
‘fees’ = array of asset pairs with *taker* fee tier data
‘fee’ = current fee in percent
‘minfee’ = minimum fee for pair (if not fixed fee)
‘maxfee’ = maximum fee for pair (if not fixed fee)
‘nextfee’ = next tier’s fee for pair
(if not fixed fee, nil if at lowest fee tier) ‘nextvolume’ = volume level of next tier
(if not fixed fee, nil if at lowest fee tier) ‘tiervolume’ = volume level of current tier
(if not fixed fee, nil if at lowest fee tier) ‘fees_maker’ = array of asset pairs with *maker* fee tier data for any pairs on a maker/taker fee schedule
‘fee’ = current fee in percent

‘maxfee’ = maximum fee for pair (if not fixed fee)
‘nextfee’ = next tier’s fee for pair
(if not fixed fee, nil if at lowest fee tier) ‘nextvolume’ = volume level of next tier
(if not fixed fee, nil if at lowest fee tier) ‘tiervolume’ = volume level of current tier
(if not fixed fee, nil if at lowest fee tier)
If an asset pair is on a maker/taker fee schedule, the taker side is given in ‘fees’ and maker side in ‘fees_maker’.
For asset pairs not on maker/taker, the rates will only be given in ‘fees’.
