Problem

list_assets(asset_class=‘crypto’) returns the list twice
When I run the command to get the current list of crypto assets, I get a list of 42 assets. Looking at the list in more detail, it seems that the function returns the same list of 21 assets twice.

Example Code

crypto_assets = api.list_assets(status='active', asset_class='crypto')
print(crypto_assets)

Output:

To simplify, I will print just the symbols:

crypto_assets = api.list_assets(status='active', asset_class='crypto')

for asset in crypto_assets:
     print(asset.symbol)

Output:

AAVEUSD
GRTUSD
LINKUSD
LTCUSD
MATICUSD
MKRUSD
DAIUSD
SOLUSD
PAXGUSD
SUSHIUSD
TRXUSD
USDTUSD
ETHUSD
UNIUSD
WBTCUSD
YFIUSD
BATUSD
BCHUSD
BTCUSD
SHIBUSD
DOGEUSD
AAVEUSD
GRTUSD
LINKUSD
LTCUSD
MATICUSD
MKRUSD
DAIUSD
SOLUSD
PAXGUSD
SUSHIUSD
TRXUSD
USDTUSD
ETHUSD
UNIUSD
WBTCUSD
YFIUSD
BATUSD
BCHUSD
BTCUSD
SHIBUSD
DOGEUSD

You can see that the list of crypto assets starts with AAVEUSD and ends with DOGEUSD, but the list then prints again.

Any idea why this is happening? I don’t get the same problem when I get a list of NASDAQ assets.

Embarrassingly, this was just me being an idiot…
