List Instruments

Returns the list of tradeable instruments, optionally filtered by base currency, instrument kind, and expiration status. This endpoint is public — no authentication is required.

Filter semantics:

• currency filters by the base currency of the instrument’s currency pair (case-insensitive match).
• kind filters by instrument type (case-insensitive match against the kind value enum).
• expired = true returns only instruments whose expiration_timestamp is in the past; expired = false returns only non-expired instruments. Omit the parameter to get both.
