What is an API? Does EXMO have an API?

API is an acronym for Application Programming Interface. In other words, it’s a set of tools and queries that can be used to obtain data or perform a number of operations in an account without using the web interface. EXMO provides API access via REST API and WebSocket API. You can find all EXMO API methods in our documentation.

REST API

EXMO serves REST API in four ways:

• Public API does not require authorisation and can be accessed using the GET or POST methods.
• Authenticated API requires authorisation and can be accessed using only the POST method.
• EX-CODE API is private and available only upon authorisation. In order to access these functions, you need to contact EXMO Support.
• Wallet API requires authorisation and can be accessed using only the POST method.

WebSocket API

Websocket API on EXMO consists of public and authenticated methods. Public methods allow access to data in relation to trades, tickers and order book changes without authorisation. Authenticated methods require authorisation and allow user access to trades, wallet changes and order changes.
