Error: Kraken API returned error: General:Invalid arguments:volume

Trying to buy either single coin or all the coins gives me that error. Note that querying works just fine. I'm on Windows (tried with git bash and normal command prompt and result is the same). I'm using the latest version.

Ya, I've been getting that too but haven't had time to investigate. I wonder if Kraken has changed their API?

It seems to be issue on their (Kraken) end https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/6pvh4c/kraken_minimum_volume_issue/

Minimums https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/205893708-What-is-the-minimum-order-size-

[amibenson]

It has been a year+ by now.

Does anyone know if Kraken API now allows getting the minimum number of units (aka quantity) in a programmatic manner ?

i.e: list of minimums same as here - https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/205893708-What-is-the-minimum-order-size-

[evan-coygo]

@amibenson The AssetPairs REST API has an "orderMin" property now https://api.kraken.com/0/public/AssetPairs
