Overview

The COINXCHANGE API v1.0 is a basic REST API that users can use to retrieve market data. The API, for ease, is mostly compatible with similar simple APIs made by other major exchanges. API calls are limited to 10 requests per second, with any request exceeding the rate limit denied by an https 503 response. All API responses are valid JSON arrays.

This returns chart data, which we also use for our candlestick graphs for any given period. As with similar APIs, the period is optional ('6hh' (6 hours), '1DD' (24 hours), '3DD' (3 days), '7DD' (1 week) or 'MAX'). Market ID is visible as the URL in the address bar when browsing a market on our web site.
