Upbit is a leading South Korean cryptocurrency exchange operated by Dunamu Inc., offering REST and WebSocket APIs for market data retrieval, order management, account balances, and transaction history.

Upbit supports KRW, BTC, and USDT trading markets and complies with travel-rule regulations for digital asset transfers. Regional API endpoints are available for Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand.

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.

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/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/upbit: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
