Frequently Asked Questions

You will receive an order ID for all successful transactions. If you do not receive an order ID, you will receive an error message that shows the response from the exchange.

Absolutely! BitCombine is your one-stop destination to all global cryptocurrency market data across all of our exchanges. You do not need an account, nor do you need to provide us with exchange API credentials, to access any and all of BitCombine's market data for all cryptocurrencies across all of our supported exchanges.

When you query an endpoint which requires the usage of your funds, such as /withdrawals or /orders, on exchanges which have multiple wallets, such as trading wallets and non-trading wallets, the funds in your non-trading wallet, in your requested quantity, will be moved to the trading wallet for the operation. If there are no funds in your non-trading wallet, or the funds are not sufficient to be transferred in the quantity requested, this step will be skipped, and the funds in your trading wallet will be used. When you check your balance on multi-walleted exchanges, you can specify whether you would like to see the funds in your "main" wallet, which is your non-trading wallet, and your "trade" wallet. By adding both values, you will get your total balance of any asset on any given multi-walleted exchange.

For your security, after you enter your cryptocurrency exchange API credentials, you will only be able to access obfuscated versions of those credentials. Instead of showing your API Key/Secret, as well as any other parameters which the exchange's API requires, if those credentials are long enough, you will see the first and last four characters of those credentials; if they are slightly shorter, you will see only the last four characters; and, if they are very short, you will only see the obfuscation character, '*', in a quantity which is equal to the number of characters in that particular credential.

Your BitCombine subscription plan dictates your rate limit for all of BitCombine's endpoints. Exchanges may have their own rate limits, too; for market data endpoints, these rate limits will not apply to you, as they are based on IP addresses; for trading and withdrawal endpoints, these rate limits will apply to you, as they are attached to your cryptocurrency exchange credentials.

You will almost always receive a response within one business day.

Once you have created an account and subscribed to a plan, you will gain access to the MyBit Portal. In your MyBit Portal, you will be able to see your current subscription plan, the date of your next charge, your rate limits, your BitCombine API Key/Secret pair, and your cryptocurrency exchange API credentials. You will be able to generate new BitCombine API credentials and add or modify your cryptocurrency exchange API credentials as frequently as you wish.

When you generate new BitCombine API credentials in your MyBit Portal, your old credentials become invalid, and no longer provide access to the features of your account. If you would like to revoke access to your key, simply generate new credentials, and the old ones will become inactive.

BitCombine securely encrypts your cryptocurrency exchange credentials. We will never store your credentials without encryption. You will only be able to retrieve your cryptocurrency exchange API credentials in an obfuscated format after entering them, showing only a few characters, ensuring their protection and your safety.

All rate limit and supported endpoint information is shown for all pricing plans on the pricing section of the home page. If you have any unanswered questions about anything dealing with our pricing plans, please email support@bitcombine.io.

Absolutely! BitCombine has a Free pricing plan available, which grants access to all market data endpoints for seven days, and which can be cancelled at any time before the end of the trial period to avoid being charged. We do not offer free trials for pricing plans which give access to transactional endpoints, such as /orders, /withdrawals, /cancellations, /myexchanges, and /balances.

The market data endpoints include those endpoints which give public market data, such as /symbols, /exchanges, /tickers, /candles, and /orderbooks. Trading endpoints include /balances, /orders, /cancellations, /orderstatuses, and /myexchanges. The all endpoints option gives access to the /withdrawals endpoint, which allows for the withdrawal of cryptocurrencies between exchanges.

BitCombine will charge you on a monthly basis. For every time that you pay, you will have access to our services with your BitCombine API credentials for exactly one month.

Your subscription will be set to renew automatically exactly one month after it is first purchased. You may cancel your subscription at any time.

You can update your payment information by visiting your MyBit Portal and clicking the Update button under Payment Method.

Yes. BitCombine offers an interactive API graphical user interface at api.bitcombine.io, which also provides documentation for all of our API endpoints.

Our market data, such as that found in /orderbooks and /tickers, comes directly from the exchanges from which you are trying to get that data, which is specified on all endpoints by the exchange parameter. Our data are 100% accurate, as it comes directly from those exchanges.

Depending on the caching rates which are associated with your plan, you will be given data that ranges from 90 seconds cached to real-time.

BitCombine provides all of the data which exchanges offer from their APIs. All exchanges will have complete and accessible data for all of BitCombine's market data endpoints. Data provided in the /tickers endpoint may vary by exchange, as some exchanges provide all information about a currency, and others do not; some exchanges may provide the 24 hour volume of a currency, for example, and others may not.

For your safety, you will only be able to see your API Secret once, upon creation. After you have seen the API Secret and refreshed or exited the page, you will no longer have access to it. You will always be able to view your API Key in the MyBit Portal. If you would like to obtain a new BitCombine API Key/Secret pair, visit your MyBit Portal and select the Generate New button under BitCombine API Key/Secret.

BitCombine currently supports withdrawals for all cryptocurrencies. Any cryptocurrency with an additional address identifier, such as XRP, may not be supported for withdrawals on a few exchanges, which will be indicated by a value of false for MultiAddressWithdrawalsEnabled for that exchange when retrieved by the /exchanges endpoint. You will be notified that this is the case if you attempt such a withdrawal on one of those exchanges. A couple of exchanges do not support API withdrawals. You can determine which exchanges support withdrawals, as well as other operations, by making a request to the /exchanges endpoint. BitCombine does not yet support FIAT withdrawals, but we plan support them in the future.
