Kraken Exchange API

healthy 3,241 Subscribers

Live market data from the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange, served straight from Kraken's public API — no key, no account, nothing cached. Kraken is one of the oldest and largest crypto exchanges; this reads its order book and trades directly. The ticker endpoint returns the live quote for one or many pairs — the last traded price, the best bid and ask and the spread, the 24-hour volume and VWAP, the 24-hour high, low and open and the change since open, and the 24-hour trade count: XBT/USD trades around its live price with thousands of trades a day. The orderbook endpoint returns the live order book to any depth — the bid and ask price levels with their sizes, the best bid/ask and the spread — the real liquidity behind the price. The ohlc endpoint returns candlestick history at intervals from one minute to two weeks. Pairs can be given the friendly way (BTCUSD, ETHEUR) and it resolves them to Kraken's canonical names. This is the exchange-market-data layer for any trading, charting, arbitrage or bot application. Live from Kraken, nothing stored. Distinct from aggregate-price and other single-exchange APIs — this is Kraken's own ticker, order book and candles. 4 endpoints.

AscendEX Exchange API

Live spot market data from AscendEX (formerly BitMax), a global crypto exchange, served straight from its public API with no key and nothing cached. The ticker endpoint returns a market's last price, open, 24-hour high and low, 24-hour change, best bid and ask and volume. The tickers endpoint returns every spot market for a quote currency ranked by 24-hour volume, so one call surfaces the most-traded pairs on the venue. The markets endpoint lists the tradable pairs with their tick and lot size and minimum and maximum notional. The book endpoint returns live order-book depth — every bid and ask level with price and amount, plus the best bid/ask and the spread. Everything is read live from AscendEX on each request, nothing stored. A distinct global venue, separate from the other exchange feeds on the marketplace. Markets are written BASE/QUOTE; BTC_USDT is also accepted. Ideal for trading bots, price tickers, arbitrage scanners, portfolio trackers and market dashboards. Live, no key. 4 spot endpoints. For candles or perpetuals use an OHLC or derivatives API.
