Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

API

✓ import krakenex; api = krakenex.API()

✗ from krakenex import KrakenAPI

Wrong constructor name

Trade

✓ from krakenex import Trade

✗ from krakenex.trade import Trade

Trade is a module, not a direct submodule

Initialize API, load key file, query private endpoint.

import krakenex api = krakenex.API() api.load_key('kraken.key') print(api.query_private('Balance'))

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 2.0.0 changed the API constructor to require no arguments; old code using `API('key','secret')` will break.

fix

Use `api.load_key('filename')` or `api.key = '...'; api.secret = '...'`.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaThe library does not set a User-Agent header by default; Kraken may reject requests.

fix

Set `api.user_agent = 'MyApp/1.0'` after creating API instance.

affects: all

deprecatedThe `Trade` module is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Use the raw API methods instead.

fix

Use `api.query_public('Trades', {'pair': 'XBTUSD'})` instead of `Trade().get_trades('XBTUSD')`.

affects: >=2.2.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'krakenex'

The package is installed under a different name or not installed.

fix

Run `pip install krakenex`. Ensure the correct import statement: `import krakenex`.

connect() got an unexpected keyword argument 'headers'

Library version incompatibility with requests library in older Python versions (pre-2.2.0).

fix

Upgrade krakenex: `pip install --upgrade krakenex`. If persists, pin `requests>=2.22.0`.

AttributeError: module 'krakenex' has no attribute 'API'

Outdated version (<2.0.0) that used a different API class.

fix

Upgrade krakenex: `pip install --upgrade krakenex`. Old code should use `krakenex.API` if upgraded.
