Korbit

Korbit is South Korea's first cryptocurrency exchange, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Seoul, offering KRW-denominated spot trading of bitcoin, ether and other digital assets to Korean retail and institutional customers. Korbit publishes the Korbit Open API v2, a REST and WebSocket interface covering market data (tickers, orderbook, trades, candlesticks, tick-size policy), order placement and cancellation, order and trade history, balances, cryptocurrency deposit-address management and withdrawals, and KRW deposit/withdrawal push notifications. Authentication is by API key (X-KAPI-KEY) with per-request HMAC-SHA256 or ED25519 signatures, granular key permissions and optional IP allowlisting. Korbit is unusually agent-forward for an exchange: it ships an official Go CLI with a bundled MCP server and Agent Skill, a documented llms.txt, and a downloadable local sandbox that mocks the full REST and WebSocket surface for no-risk development.

Korbit publishes 8 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Open API v2 WebSocket, Asset API, Deposit (Crypto) API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Company, Cryptocurrency, Cryptocurrency Exchange, Digital Assets, and Trading.

The Korbit catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Korbit’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, signup flow, CLI, and 24 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
Pagination +5 pts — share of collection GETs (an array, or one wrapped in data/items/results ...) that declare a page/limit/offset/cursor parameter, a Link header or a next/cursor field; na with no collection GETs
Agentic Commerce Well-Known Document +5 pts — a parsing /.well-known/ucp.json or acp.json declaring a version and at least one service — `self` when its endpoints are on the provider's own domain, `platform` when they are on a vendor's
