huobipro "The symbol is invalid" BadSymbol error for create_order() with LINK/BTC despite symbol existing.

See original GitHub issue

OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.7
Programming Language version: Python 3.8.5
CCXT version: 1.38.80

For some reason I’m getting a BadSymbol with LINK/BTC on huobipro on create_order() calls despite the symbol existing. The below code is working fine for other symbols (e.g. just tested on ATOM/USDT successfully). Please let me know if I can be of further help.

import ccxt

exchange = ccxt.huobipro({
    'apiKey': 'XXXXX',
    'secret': 'XXXXX',
    'enableRateLimit': True,
})

exchange.verbose = True

symbol = 'LINK/BTC'
type = 'limit'
side = 'buy'
amount = 1.0
price = 0.00065

params = {}

order = exchange.create_order(symbol, type, side, amount, price, params)
