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 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 applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/korbit: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
