Kraken API DASHXXBT asset pair not working


I am consuming Kraken API and using the Depth request to get the order books. I understand the pairs (parameter for Depth) are the composition of base and quote that you can find in the assetpair call. In fact: https://api.kraken.com/0/public/Depth?pair=XLTCXXBT is working as expected.

But when I try DASH https://api.kraken.com/0/public/Depth?pair=DASHXXBT I always get:

{"error":["EQuery:Unknown asset pair"]}

Nonetheless in the assetpair response you can find base: DASH quote: XXBT

https://api.kraken.com/0/public/AssetPairs

...
{"altname":"DASHXBT","aclass_base":"currency",**"base":"DASH"**,
"aclass_quote":"currency",**"quote":"XXBT"**,"lot":"unit","pair_decimals":5,"lot_decimals":8,"lot_multiplier":1,"leverage_buy":[],"leverage_sell":[],"fees":[[0,0.26],[50000,0.24],[100000,0.22],[250000,0.2],[500000,0.18],[1000000,0.16],[2500000,0.14],[5000000,0.12],[10000000,0.1]],"fees_maker":[[0,0.16],[50000,0.14],[100000,0.12],[250000,0.1],[500000,0.08],[1000000,0.06],[2500000,0.04],[5000000,0.02],[10000000,0]],"fee_volume_currency":"ZUSD","margin_call":80,"margin_stop":40} 

Is there something I am missing?


Solution

  • Ok so basically for DASH there is a special rule of some sort, the working AssetPair is only DASHXBT, DASHXXBT is not working.
