name and id are reversed for IOTA?

[RobustCoder]

I downloaded all the assets available on coinapi just now using this URL: https://rest.coinapi.io/v1/assets.

Here is the raw JSON for IOTA (MIOTA):

{
	"asset_id": "IOTA",
	"name": "MIOTA",
	"type_is_crypto": 1,
	"data_start": "2017-06-13",
	"data_end": "2018-08-23",
	"data_quote_start": "2017-06-13T16:51:17.1775282Z",
	"data_quote_end": "2018-08-23T21:03:51.0029903Z",
	"data_orderbook_start": "2017-06-13T16:51:17.1775282Z",
	"data_orderbook_end": "2018-08-23T21:03:51.0029903Z",
	"data_trade_start": "2017-06-13T16:51:20.0000000Z",
	"data_trade_end": "2018-08-23T21:05:37.0000000Z",
	"data_trade_count": 27072757,
	"data_symbols_count": 25
},

Note that coinapi is claiming that the asset_id (i.e. symbol) is IOTA while the name is MIOTA.

I think that that is reversed!

For example, checkout this page: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/iota/. Note how it puts MIOTA in parentheses, which is what coinmarketcap does for ids, not names.

Of all the assets that downloaded from coinapi, I checked the top 10 crypto currencies by market cap, and only IOTA has this error.

We didn't consider that as an error as we did maintain own asset database. Some exchanges incorporated IOTA and some MIOTA, more of them used IOTA and we decided to follow that, we will not change it as it could break some behavior on the client side for existing customers.

Artur, Ok, that's news to me then that there is ambiguity concerning it's symbol! There is a database error with ADA I think that I came across yesterday where a close price is larger than the high price for an interval, which should never happen. I am at work now, so I will get back to you later today on that. Also, I will have to give you another submission of Java code, since I have discovered stuff with the last version after heavier use recently. One thing I added support for yesterday was perpetuals. Stay tuned, Brent
