Welcome to CoinEx Developer Documentation.

This documentation outlines trading functions, market data and other application development endpoints.The services and functions provided by CoinEx will be updated in this documentation. Please pay attention to the change log.

Through the API documentation, you can query the explanation of the endpoint to help you understand and develop the corresponding functions more easily.

• Base URL：https://api.coinex.com/v1
• All API request headers need to add Content-Type: "application/json" and User-Agent
• APIs that require signature need to add authorization in the header
• Please first check the HTTP status code of Response, and make sure that it indicates 200 before parsing Response
• All Requests and Responses use json.
• Account and transaction-related API endpoints require signatures, while market-related API endpoints do not

Before signing, you need to go to CoinEx-Personal Center-API Key and create a new API key

• Access_id: API key ID
• Secret_key: The secret key used to sign the requested data

Access_id and Secret_key are of the same importance as your account password. For account and assets safety, please change your secret key regularly.Once you lose your secret key, please go to CoinEx to remove the secret key in time.

• Each API endpoint has its corresponding group, and each group has a corresponding request limit rate

The rate limit in each group is set according to its characteristics. As a matter of fact, the rate limit is the request margin of the group, where the request frequency of each endpoint in the group will deduct its group margin, until all the deductions are made. In this case, all endpoint requests in the group will be limited.

E.g. The group rate limit for cancelling Spot orders is 120r/2s. If the endpoint request limit of POST /order/limit placing limit orders is 40/2s, then the remaining margin for the rest of endpoints in the group (DELETE /order /pending, POST /order/market, etc.) will be 80r/2s.
