WebSocket streaming API for the Korbit exchange. Public channels stream ticker, orderbook and trade market data; private channels stream the authenticated account's order, trade and balance changes. Private connections sign exactly like REST, with timestamp and signature in the query string and X-KAPI-KEY in the connection header.
Every API here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.
One button, every client — Claude, Cursor, VS Code and the rest.

WebSocket streaming API for the Korbit cryptocurrency exchange. Public channels stream market data; private channels stream the authenticated account's order, trade, and balance changes.
Subscribe with `[{"requestId": 1, "method": "subscribe", "type": "ticker", "symbols": ["btc_krw"]}]`. Control messages carry a `status` field; data messages do not. Public messages may be dropped under load — reconcile against REST snapshots. Private connections sign exactly like REST: `timestamp` and `signature` in the query string, `X-KAPI-KEY` in the connection header.
Generated by the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline from Korbit's published agent documentation bundle (https://docs.korbit.co.kr/llms-full.txt). Korbit does not publish an AsyncAPI document; this is a faithful transcription of the published reference.
