An Insufficient Funds error is returned on operations which require funding when the needed funds are not present in the profile funding the transaction. For example, creating an order to buy $100 of BTC will result in an Insufficient Funds error if the profile has an available balance less than $100. An Insufficient Funds error has the following “meta” fields:
  • profile_id: The ID of the profile funding the transaction.
  • asset: The asset needed to fund the transaction.
  • available: The amount of the needed asset in the profile’s current available balance.
  • needed: The amount of the needed asset required to fund the transaction.
To resolve an Insufficient Funds error, assets of the needed kind should be transferred to the profile identified.
