Limits to returnLoanOrders

[tteresi7]

returnLoanOrders does not return the whole order book. The order book is actually quite large to what is returned. There is a '?limit' variable that can be encoded with a number of entries.

Hi,

according to the official API docs

returnLoanOrders

Returns the list of loan offers and demands for a given currency, specified by the "currency" GET parameter.

Call: https://poloniex.com/public?command=returnLoanOrders&currency=BTC

So, looks like this call doesn't support limit variable.

If you have more information about this - let's discuss.

Sure,

It's not listed on their API page currently. When I was trying to retrieve loans when the orderbook had more than 1000 I found it quite odd that I was only receiving 1000 and thus made this post. I found that inserting the following code (quick fix) into the poloniex-api init.py

if cmdType == 'Public': # encode url payload['url'] = 'https://poloniex.com/public?' + _urlencode(args) if args['command'] == 'returnLoanOrders': payload['url'] = payload['url'] + '&limit=99999'

This then rectified the problem and I was able to see the full list of loans that were available at the time.

Obviously, a quick and dirty fix, but I thought I would mention that this issue does arise in this case.
