General info

  1. WhiteBIT API supports private and public endpoints.
  2. Available API versions: V1, V2, V4.
  3. Using Public endpoints:
    1. Public endpoints are cached. You can find specific cache refresh interval for each particular request in API documentation.
    2. Use HTTP method GET method when making a request.
    3. Use query string if you need to send additional data.
  4. Using Private endpoints - full guide Private API Authentication Documentation:
    1. To make private API calls:
      1. Go to your account on whitebit.com and navigate to account settings.
      2. Click on the API keys tab.
      3. Select the appropriate configuration tab for your API keys. Different API keys allow access to different API calls.
      4. Generate an API key.
      5. Enable IP restrictions by specifying up to 5 trusted IPs (optional, recommended)
      6. Enable Endpoint access restrictions. Select only those endpoints, that you are going to use and click "Apply" button.
    2. Auth request should be using POST method and should include:
      1. Body data - JSON that includes:
        1. 'request' - a request path without the domain name. Example: '/api/v4/trade-account/balance'.
        2. 'nonce' - a number that is always larger than the previous request’s nonce number. Example: '1594297865'. A good method of creating a nonce is to use the unix timestamp in milliseconds. This way you'll always get an incrementing number, but make sure not to send two API calls at the same time, otherwise their nonce will be identical.
        3. params of request - Example: 'ticker': 'BTC'
      2. Headers:
        1. 'Content-type': 'application/json'
        2. 'X-TXC-APIKEY': api_key - where api_key is your public WhiteBit API key
        3. 'X-TXC-PAYLOAD': payload' - where payload is base64-encoded body data
        4. 'X-TXC-SIGNATURE': signature - where signature is hex(HMAC_SHA512(payload), key=api_secret))
    3. To help you get started with our API, we've created the API Quick start helper library. It supports the following languages:
      1. Go
      2. NodeJS
      3. Python
      4. PHP
      5. Java
      6. Kotlin
      7. DotNet
      8. Ruby
      9. C++
