Korbit

aid: korbit
name: Korbit
description: '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.'

    endpoints require the X-KAPI-KEY header plus timestamp and signature parameters signed with HMAC-SHA256 or ED25519.

  description: 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.
