Please Note: Coinfloor BIST API Version 2 can be found here

COINFLOOR BIST API

WHAT IS THE BIST API?

Coinfloor offers an API gateway called BIST that approximately emulates Bitstamp's v1 HTTP API. This following document is provided as a quick reference to this API. For complete details, please consult the documentation of Bitstamp's v1 HTTP API and our document detailing the differences between Bitstamp's v1 HTTP API and BIST.

Bitstamp was not a multi-currency exchange at the time this emulation layer was implemented. Because Coinfloor is a multi-currency exchange, Coinfloor emulates the entire Bitstamp v1 API at multiple separate endpoints, one for each market that Coinfloor operates.

The Bitstamp-like API can be accessed at the following API endpoints:

  • https://webapi.coinfloor.co.uk/bist/<base>/<counter>/

<base> and <counter> are placeholders for asset codes listed in the "Asset Type" column of SCALE.md.

These endpoint URIs replace the https://www.bitstamp.net/api/ portion of Bitstamp's URIs.

N.B: All examples below use the XBT/GBP asset pair on the Coinfloor UK platform, but this can be changed to the asset pair and platform of your choice.

REQUEST LIMITS

Coinfloor's application programming interface (API) allows our clients to access and control their accounts or view our market data using custom-written software. To protect the performance of the system, we impose certain limits. See LIMITS.md for details.

PUBLIC DATA FUNCTIONS

TICKER

GET https://webapi.coinfloor.co.uk/bist/XBT/GBP/ticker/

Returns JSON dictionary:

  • last - last BTC price
  • high - last 24 hours price high
  • low - last 24 hours price low
  • vwap - last 24 hours volume weighted average price: vwap
  • volume - last 24 hours volume
  • bid - highest buy order
  • ask - lowest sell order

N.B:

  1. Please refer to the Date HTTP response header for any date or time information you may require.

  2. Coinfloor returns null for any ticker fields that are not populated, as may happen if no trade has occurred in the past 24 hours.

ORDER BOOK

GET https://webapi.coinfloor.co.uk/bist/XBT/GBP/order_book/

Returns JSON dictionary with "bids" and "asks". Each is a list of open orders and each order is represented as a list of price and amount.

N.B:

  1. Please refer to the Date HTTP response header for any date or time information you may require.

TRANSACTIONS

GET https://webapi.coinfloor.co.uk/bist/XBT/GBP/transactions/

Params:

  • time - time frame for transaction export ("minute" - 1 minute, "hour" - 1 hour). Default: hour.

Returns descending JSON list of transactions. Every transaction (dictionary) contains:

  • date - unix timestamp date and time
  • tid - transaction id
  • price - BTC price
  • amount - BTC amount

N.B:

  1. Coinfloor encodes the date field as an integer.

API AUTHENTICATION

All private API calls require authentication. You need to provide 3 parameters to authenticate a request:

  • User ID
  • API key
  • Passphrase

USER ID

To get your User ID (sometimes referred to as a Core ID), go to the Dashboard

API KEY

To get your API key (referred to as a "Cookie" in the WebSocket API documentation), go to the Dashboard

PASSPHRASE

Is the password you use to log into Coinfloor.

N.B:

  1. Coinfloor authenticates requests using standard HTTP Basic authentication. The username portion of the Basic credentials is constructed by concatenating the numeric user ID, a slash, and the user's API authentication cookie. The password portion is simply the user's login passphrase.

  2. Many off-the-shelf HTTP clients (including cURL and all web browsers) can generate the HTTP Basic Authorization request header.

This is an example of how to make a balance request with curl:

curl -k -u '[User ID]/[API key]:[Passphrase]' https://webapi.coinfloor.co.uk/bist/XBT/GBP/balance/

  • User ID and API key are provided on your Coinfloor logged in Dashboard page.
  • Passphrase is your Coinfloor passphrase.

PRIVATE FUNCTIONS

  1. Bitstamp returns fields whose names are constructed by appending _balance, _reserved, or _available to a currency code, which is either btc or usd. Coinfloor constructs these field names using currency codes xbt, eur,gbp, usd, and/or pln, depending on the specific API endpoint being accessed.

  2. Coinfloor does not include the fee field in the response.

  2. Coinfloor supports an optional time-to-live parameter on orders. If given, the placed order will be canceled automatically after the specified time if it has not already been closed otherwise. It must be positive and must not exceed 86400 (24 hours).
