How can I buy from a pair that is not listed?

[raschmitt]

I'm trying to buy BTC, but I only have BRL (Brazilian Real) in my account. Since there is no BTC-BRL trading pair, I assume I must first convert my BRL to USD (or USDC) in order to purchase BTC-USD.

To get a conversion quote, I attempted the following code:

quote = client.create_convert_quote(
    from_currency="BRL",
    to_currency="USD",
    amount="100"  # Replace with the amount of BRL you want to convert
)

However, this results in the following error:

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Bad Request {"error":"INVALID_ARGUMENT","error_details":"Unsupported account in this conversion","message":"Unsupported account in this conversion"}

Questions

1. Is BRL conversion supported via the SDK?

   • If not, is there an alternative way to convert BRL to USD (or USDC) programmatically?

2. What is the correct workflow for buying BTC if I only have BRL?

   • Should I first manually convert BRL to another supported currency?
   • If so, what endpoints should I use?

3. Is there a list of supported conversion pairs for create_convert_quote()?

   • If BRL to USD is not supported, is there a way to retrieve the available conversion paths?
