asyncapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Kraken Websockets API version: '1.8.0' description: | WebSockets API offers real-time market data updates. WebSockets is a bidirectional protocol offering fastest real-time data, helping you build real-time applications. The public message types presented below do not require authentication. Private-data messages can be subscribed on a separate authenticated endpoint. ### General Considerations - TLS with SNI (Server Name Indication) is required in order to establish a Kraken WebSockets API connection. See Cloudflare's [What is SNI?](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/what-is-sni/) guide for more details. - All messages sent and received via WebSockets are encoded in JSON format - All decimal fields (including timestamps) are quoted to preserve precision. - Timestamps should not be considered unique and not be considered as aliases for transaction IDs. Also, the granularity of timestamps is not representative of transaction rates. - At least one private message should be subscribed to keep the authenticated client connection open. - Please use REST API endpoint [AssetPairs](https://www.kraken.com/features/api#get-tradable-pairs) to fetch the list of pairs which can be subscribed via WebSockets API. For example, field 'wsname' gives the supported pairs name which can be used to subscribe. - Cloudflare imposes a connection/re-connection rate limit (per IP address) of approximately 150 attempts per rolling 10 minutes. If this is exceeded, the IP is banned for 10 minutes. - Recommended reconnection behaviour is to (1) attempt reconnection instantly up to a handful of times if the websocket is dropped randomly during normal operation but (2) after maintenance or extended downtime, attempt to reconnect no more quickly than once every 5 seconds. There is no advantage to reconnecting more rapidly after maintenance during cancel_only mode. channels: ping: address: / messages: ping: $ref: '#/components/messages/ping' pong: address: / messages: pong: $ref: '#/components/messages/pong' heartbeat: address: / messages: heartbeat: $ref: '#/components/messages/heartbeat' systemStatus: address: / messages: systemStatus: $ref: '#/components/messages/systemStatus' currencyInfo: address: / messages: subscriptionStatus: $ref: '#/components/messages/subscriptionStatus' dummyCurrencyInfo: $ref: '#/components/messages/dummyCurrencyInfo' subscribe: address: / messages: subscribe: $ref: '#/components/messages/subscribe' unsubscribe: address: / messages: unsubscribe: $ref: '#/components/messages/unsubscribe' operations: receivePing: action: receive channel: $ref: '#/channels/ping' reply: channel: $ref: '#/channels/pong' heartbeat: action: send channel: $ref: '#/channels/heartbeat' systemStatus: action: send channel: $ref: '#/channels/systemStatus' subscribe: action: receive channel: $ref: '#/channels/subscribe' reply: channel: $ref: '#/channels/currencyInfo' unsubscribe: action: receive channel: $ref: '#/channels/unsubscribe' reply: channel: $ref: '#/channels/currencyInfo' messages: - $ref: '#/channels/currencyInfo/messages/subscriptionStatus' components: messages: dummyCurrencyInfo: summary: Dummy message with no real life details description: It is here in this example to showcase that there is an additional message that normally is of a complex structure.
