This gem is a wrapper for the Kraken Digital Asset Trading Platform API. Official documentation from Kraken can be found here.

The current version (0.5.0) can be used to query public/private data and make trades. Private data queries and trading functionality require use of your Kraken account API keys.

Kraken Ruby was built by Alex Leishman and other awesome contributors.

• More comprehensive test suite for methods requiring authentication (using VCR perhaps)
• More comprehensive documentation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'kraken_ruby'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install kraken_ruby

Create a Kraken client:

API_KEY = '3bH+M/nLp......'
API_SECRET = 'wQG+7Lr9b.....'

kraken = Kraken::Client.new(API_KEY, API_SECRET)

time = kraken.server_time
time.unixtime #=> 1393056191

This functionality is provided by Kraken to to aid in approximating the skew time between the server and client.

time = kraken.server_time

time.unixtime #=> 1393056191
time.rfc1123 #=> "Sat, 22 Feb 2014 08:28:04 GMT"

Returns the assets that can be traded on the exchange. This method can be passed info, aclass (asset class), and asset options. An example below is given for each:

kraken.assets

pairs = kraken.asset_pairs

ticker_data = kraken.ticker('XLTCXXDG, ZUSDXXVN')

Get market depth information for given asset pairs

depth_data = kraken.order_book('LTCXRP')

Get recent trades

trades = kraken.trades('LTCXRP')

Get spread data for a given asset pair

spread = kraken.spread('LTCXRP')

Get account balance for each asset Note: Rates used for the floating valuation is the midpoint of the best bid and ask prices

balance = kraken.balance

Get account trade balance

trade_balance = kraken.trade_balance

open_orders = kraken.open_orders

closed_orders = kraken.closed_orders

See all orders

orders = kraken.query_orders

Get array of all trades

trades = kraken.trade_history

Input: Comma delimited list of transaction (tx) ids

trades = kraken.query_trades(tx_ids)

Input: Comma delimited list of transaction (tx) ids

positions = kraken.open_positions(tx_ids)

ledgers = kraken.ledgers_info

Input: Comma delimited list of ledger ids

ledgers = kraken.query_ledgers(ledger_ids)

Input: Comma delimited list of asset pairs

asset_pairs = 'XLTCXXDG, ZEURXXDG'
volume = kraken.query_ledgers(asset_pairs)

There are 4 required parameters for buying an order. The example below illustrates the most basic order. Please see the Kraken documentation for the parameters required for more advanced order types.

# buying 0.01 XBT (bitcoin) for XRP (ripple) at market price
opts = {
  pair: 'XBTXRP',
  type: 'buy',
  ordertype: 'market',
  volume: 0.01
}

kraken.add_order(opts)

kraken.cancel_order("UKIYSP-9VN27-AJWWYC")
