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 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Open API v2 WebSocket, Asset API, Deposit (Crypto) API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Company, Crypto, 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 23 more developer resources.
