The WebSocket API v1 openOrders feed is a private account management feed, that provides a real time status of all open orders that are associated with your Kraken account.
Any changes to the status of an order, such as a new order being placed, an order being partially or fully filled or an order being cancelled, will cause an update message to be sent via the openOrders feed.
Once a connection to the WebSocket API v1 has been established, the openOrders feed can be subscribed to by retrieving an authentication token via the REST API GetWebSocketsToken endpoint, and then sending a subscription message like the following:
{"event":"subscribe", "subscription":{"name":"openOrders", "token":"WOg6IVQ5RfogMzkhH25WOg6IVQ5RqhP+U3ZprQVnh7f"}}
The following is an example of the openOrders feed, illustrating the type of messages that are received for various order status changes:
{"connectionID":14950811667203285981,"event":"systemStatus","status":"online","version":"0.3.0"}{"channelName":"openOrders","event":"subscriptionStatus","status":"subscribed","subscription":{"name":"openOrders"}}[[], "openOrders"]{"event":"heartbeat"}{"event":"heartbeat"}[[{"OH6WIE-OYECX-FIIN3H":{"avg_price":"0.00000","cost":"0.00000","descr":{"close":"","leverage":"5:1","order":"buy 0.00200000 ETH/USD @ limit 100.00000 with 5:1 leverage","ordertype":"limit","pair":"ETH/USD","price":"100.00000","price2":"0.00000","type":"buy"},"expiretm":"1570445592","fee":"0.00000","limitprice":"0.00000","misc":"","oflags":"fciq","opentm":"1570445562.883878","refid":null,"starttm":null,"status":"pending","stopprice":"0.00000","userref":0,"vol":"0.00200000","vol_exec":"0.00000000"}}],"openOrders"][[{"OH6WIE-OYECX-FIIN3H":{"status":"open"}}],"openOrders"]{"event":"heartbeat"}{"event":"heartbeat"}[[{"OH6WIE-OYECX-FIIN3H":{"status":"canceled"}}],"openOrders"]{"event":"heartbeat"}{"event":"heartbeat"}
Upon subscribing to the openOrders feed, a subscription status message is received:
{"channelName":"openOrders","event":"subscriptionStatus","status":"subscribed","subscription":{"name":"openOrders"}}
followed by an empty snapshot which indicates that the account does not have any currently open orders:
[[], "openOrders"]
When a new order is placed, an initial message is received providing the details of the order, immediately followed by a message indicating a status change from pending to open:
[[{"OH6WIE-OYECX-FIIN3H":{"avg_price":"0.00000","cost":"0.00000","descr":{"close":"","leverage":"5:1","order":"buy 0.00200000 ETH/USD @ limit 100.00000 with 5:1 leverage","ordertype":"limit","pair":"ETH/USD","price":"100.00000","price2":"0.00000","type":"buy"},"expiretm":"1570445592","fee":"0.00000","limitprice":"0.00000","misc":"","oflags":"fciq","opentm":"1570445562.883878","refid":null,"starttm":null,"status":"pending","stopprice":"0.00000","userref":0,"vol":"0.00200000","vol_exec":"0.00000000"}}],"openOrders"]
[[{"OH6WIE-OYECX-FIIN3H":{"status":"open"}}],"openOrders"]
A few seconds later, the order is cancelled (before it has been executed/filled), causing an order cancellation message with a change of status from open to canceled:
[[{"OH6WIE-OYECX-FIIN3H":{"status":"canceled"}}],"openOrders"]
