instruments.InstrumentsOrderBook fails for some instruments #132

Closed illi4 closed 6 years ago

illi4 commented 6 years ago

When I try to call instruments.InstrumentsOrderBook, it does not work for many instruments(for example 'NAS100_USD' or 'SPX500_USD'). The error message is "NAS100_USD is not a valid instrument". All the other endpoints work fine. The code snippet I am using is: 

request = instruments.InstrumentsOrderBook(instrument = "NAS100_USD") 
orderbook = client.request(request)

How could this be fixed? Just in case, I tried calling instruments.InstrumentsOrderBook with instrument by name (instrument = "US Nas 100"), but this of course does not work as well.

Hi @illi4, I have a strong feeling this endpoint only accepts currency pairs. Pls drop the question at OANDA.

@illi4 Hi, I'll close this issue. If you asked the question at OANDA and they gave you an answer pls. write it here also. It might be helpful for others.

Indeed OANDA responded that orderbook is not enabled for some instruments including stock indices
