About the new Kraken Websocket API

[smechaab]

Hi there, Will the new Websocket API needs to rewrite some code or new feature design ? I didn't really got into the code, so just asking :)

Looks like it's a separate API that works alongside the one this library already accesses.

There appears to be no ETA on when orders can be made through the websockets API, it looks to be exclusively for market data so far.

What @haslo said. ^_^

There's also an example API provided by Kraken themselves, (linked in the WS API docs).

It's possible there'll be no need to fiddle with this package, and it can simply be deprecated instead. Time will tell - when the WS API supports the private trading operations, this can be revisited.
