What is REST API on EXMO?

EXMO REST API is a unique toolbar of requests to EXMO’s server that consists of Public, Authenticated, EX-CODE and Wallet APIs.

Public API

Public API does not require authorisation and can be accessed using GET and POST methods. In general, a URL with API access looks like this:

https://api.exmo.com/v1.1/{api_name}?{api_params}

Where “api_name” is the name of the API you are accessing and “api_params” are the incoming request parameters (if necessary).
The full list of Public API methods is specified in the documentation.

Authenticated API

To access this API, it is necessary to use the POST method.
URL — the following address should be used:

https://api.exmo.com/v1.1/{api_name} where “api_name” is the name of API method.

Authorisation is realised by sending the following headers to the server:

  • Key — Public key that can be found in user’s profile settings (example: K-7cc97c89aed2a2fd9ed7792d48d63f65800c447b)
  • Sign — an encrypted key with method HMAC-SHA512 using a secret key.

Note:

The secret key also can be found in the user’s profile settings. There’s a possibility to associate several keys with one account for API access.

All requests should also include the obligatory POST parameter nonce with incremental numerical value (>0). The incremental numerical value should never repeat or decrease.
The full list of Authenticated API methods is specified in the documentation.

EX-CODE API

Using the EX-CODE API you can create and upload EX-CODE coupons. Access is only provided after a request has been sent to EXMO Support.
The full list of EX-CODE API methods is specified in the documentation.

Wallet API

Wallet API allows users to obtain the functionality of the Wallet. Wallet API also requires authentication.
The full list of Wallet API methods is specified in the documentation.
