Not finding any Crypto Asset

[thomsonmathews]

I am using C# API
when I run this on the list of Asset’s
var selectedAssets = assets.Where(x => x.Class == AssetClass.Crypto ).Select(x => x.Symbol).ToList();

can’t find any crypto asset’s

I’ll just copy my GitHub answer here:

The underlying REST API was introduced years ago and its default behavior is a little bit unexpected nowadays. The AssetClass property of the AssetRequest type is nullable and if you don’t specify anything it will request only stock assets. It was OK for years and changing this behavior can break existing code. All that I can do is just write more detailed documentation for this property. Unfortunately, you are unable to request both stocks and crypto assets in one request. You have to do two separate requests and specify the asset class explicitly. You can elevate this question to Alpaca’s main team but I’m not sure they have enough time/reasons to add another endpoint just for this rare case.
