Is there a websocket API for Kraken? Or will Kraken add one?
I would like to get info about, balance, open orders and orderbook without making calls every 5 seconds.

We will add one and are in the process of building it now. But it still may take quite a while before it's ready.
Any chance for sharing specification to community before rolling that out to production? you could collect valuable feedback in advance.
If you would ever building rest api v2 (or a next version, not sure which is now) it would be nice have such impact too.
remember, github is your friend Smiley
BTW. you have one of the best API anyway.

Hi - sorry it took me a while to get back to you. I'll see if we can get the spec out early so people understand what's coming down the pipe. Glad to hear you like our API. Feel free if you have time to shoot me a PM (or post here) with details - what exactly you like and what could be improved with the API. I know everyone would enjoy higher rate limits, which is something I'm always pushing for.
