Bittrex

API

Next-gen cryptocurrency trading and market data API

Overview

The Bittrex API v3 provides RESTful endpoints for real-time/historical crypto market data (tickers, order books, trades) and trading operations (place/cancel orders, manage balances). Responses are JSON-formatted. Key endpoints include /markets (pair listings), /orders (management), /balances (holdings), and /tickers (24h changes). Ideal for building trading bots, portfolio trackers, market analysis tools, or integrating trading functionality into apps. Supports public (open data) and authenticated (user-specific) calls.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://bittrex.github.io/api/v3')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
