Tiny commandline script to get your Kraken balance and current value in fiat
Make sure you have Python3 and pip installed Run in terminal:
git clone https://github.com/bluppfisk/krakbal && cd krakbal
python3 -m venv ./
source bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Obtain an API key from https://www.kraken.com/u/settings/api and allow it read access to private data: balance
- Create a kraken.key file and paste the API key on the first line, the secret on the second
- Run
python3 krakbal.pyor./krakbal.py
-callows you to specify a currency other than the default EUR, e.g. USD, GBP, CAD (see Limitations)-kallows you to specify a key file other than the default kraken.key
Example:
python3 krakbal.py -c usd -k kraken.key
- Kraken currently only has complete conversion data for its crypto assets into USD and EUR. For all but the biggest assets, CAD and GBP conversion is not available.
- If the account holds a balance in EUR and the display currency is USD (and vice-versa), the call will fail as it tries to obtain the rate for XUSDZEUR which is not a valid pair on Kraken. Fix: determine if t 5601 here's a necessity to convert between two fiat currencies and, if so, request additional rates for BTC to balance currency and BTC to display currency. Determine the exchange rate between the two fiat currencies with BTC as a proxy by dividing the one balance by the other.
