Introduction
The Bitso API allows you to integrate the Bitso trading platform with third party applications, such as trading applications, charting programs, point of sale systems, and much more. Below you will find details on how the system functions, along with examples in common programming languages.
General
HTTP API Responses
Our REST-like APIs will always return a JSON Object.
For successful API calls, our JSON response objects looks like:
{ "success": true,
"payload": {RELEVANT_DATA_HERE}
}
For unsuccessful API calls, our JSON response objects look like:
{
"success": false,
"error": {"message": ERROR_MESSAGE, "code": ERROR_CODE}
}
Developer Testing Server
When working on integrations, we recommend that you use our dev server
before running your code against production. The URL for this server
is https://api-dev.bitso.com/v3/
You can fund accounts on the dev server with Testnet Bitcoin and “Morden” test network Eth.
Notations
Major denotes the cryptocurrency, in our case Bitcoin (BTC) or Ether (ETH).
Minor denotes fiat currencies, in our case Mexican Peso (MXN)
An order book is always referred to in the API as “Major_Minor”. For example: “btc_mxn”
Precision
We return decimal numbers as strings to preserve full precision across platforms. We recommend you also convert your numbers to string in order to avoid undesired consequences from precision and truncation errors.
Rate Limits
Rate limits are are based on one minute windows. If you do more than 300 requests in five minutes, you get locked out for one minute. Continuous one minute lockouts will result in a 24-hour block.
Error Codes
Error codes consist of four digits, first two digits correspond to error categories, the last two digits define specific errors.

Private REST API
The Private REST API is used to manage your account and your orders. These requests must be signed (more on this below).
Generating API Keys
Bitso uses API Keys to allow access to the API. You can register a new Bitso API key at our developer portal.
When setting up a new API, you will need to choose an API Name to identify your API. This name will never be shown anywhere apart from on your API Index page within your account. You have the option of adding a Withdrawal Bitcoin Address, which can be used to lock the API Withdrawal function to a specific Bitcoin address of your choosing. This field is optional.
The two elements you will need to sign requests are:
- Bitso API Key
- Bitso API Secret

All REST requests should be valid JSON. You must include 3 fields as a payload in the “Authorization” header for all Private API Endpoints in order to perform authentication:
- key – The API Key you generated
- nonce – An integer that must be unique and increasing for each API call (we recommend using a UNIX timestamp)
- signature – See below
Signature
The signature is generated by creating a SHA256 HMAC using the Bitso API Secret on the concatenation of nonce + HTTP method + requestPath + JSON payload (no ’+’ signs in the concatenated string) and hex encode the output. The nonce value should be the same as the nonce field in the Authorization header. The requestPath and JSON payload must, of course, be exactly as the ones used in the request.
Authorization Header
The header should be constructed, using the fields described above, in the following form:
Authorization: Bitso <key>:<nonce>:<signature>
Account Status

WebSocket API
General
The Trades channel send a message whenver a new trade is executed in the corresponding order book.
The Orders channel maintains an up-to-date list of the top 20 asks and the top 20 bids, new messages are sent across the channel whenever there is a change in either top 20.
The Diff-Orders channel will send across any modifications to the order book. Specifically, any state changes in existing orders (including orders not in the top 20), and any new orders. An order could be removed, in which case it won’t have an 'a’ field (amount), or an order could have been partially filled (you can look up an order’s state via the lookup_order endpoint) which will be reflected in the amount field. Each message contains a sequence number, which are increasing integer values, each new message incrementing the sequence number by one. If you see a sequence number that is more than one value that the previous, this means a message has been dropped and you need to update the order book to get to correct state. In theory, you can get a copy of the full order book via REST once, and keep it up to date by using the diff-orders channel with the following algorithm:
- Subscribe to the diff-orders channel.
- Queue any message that come in to this channel.
- Get the full orderbook from the REST orderbook endpoint.
- Playback the queued message, discarding the ones with sequence number below or equal to the one from the REST orderbook.
- Apply the next queued messages to your local order book data structure.
- Apply real-time messages to your local orderbook as they come in trough the stream.
An order’s timestamp field is immutable. Even if the amount field is mutated, or the order removed, the timestamp field remains as it was when the order was created. Note that a timestamp is not unique. Different orders can have the same timestamp.
How to connect
Create a WebSocket instance:
websocket = new WebSocket('wss://ws.bitso.com');
Subscribe to each channel you wish to connect to:
websocket.onopen = function() {
websocket.send(JSON.stringify({ action: 'subscribe', book: 'btc_mxn', type: 'trades' }));
websocket.send(JSON.stringify({ action: 'subscribe', book: 'btc_mxn', type: 'diff-orders' }));
websocket.send(JSON.stringify({ action: 'subscribe', book: 'btc_mxn', type: 'orders' }));
};
The server will acknowledge each subscription to a channel with a message. For example, a successful subscription to the 'trades’ channel will be acknowledged in the following manner:
{action: "subscribe", response: "ok", time: 1455831538045, type: "trades"}
Once you’ve succesfully subscribed to a channel, listen for messages and handle them appropriately:
websocket.onmessage = function(message){
var data = JSON.parse(message.data);
if (data.type == 'trades' && data.payload) {
}
else if (data.type == 'diff-orders' && data.payload) {
}
else if (data.type == 'orders' && data.payload) {
}
};

Bitso’s powerful Transfer API allows for simple integration for routing Bitcoin payments directly through to a choice of Mexican Peso end-points.
The workflow breaks down in the following steps:
- Request quote
- Create transfer using quote
- Send bitcoins to address given
- After 1 confirmation, pesos are delivered
The quote acquired in step #1 is valid for 60 seconds. Once this is used to create a transfer (#2), that transfer is then valid for 60 seconds from creation (within which time the Bitcoin transaction to satisfy it must be ‘seen’ by our servers – this typically happens within 20 seconds).
Once the transfer is satisfied, the Bitcoin transaction must be confirmed before a further action takes place. Typically this takes around a maximum of 10 minutes, but can be a little longer.
The transfer can be monitored throughout the process by making a request to the URL returned with the transfer creation.
Authentication

Currently Available Outlets
SPEI
SPEI is Mexico’s lightning fast and inexpensive inter-bank transfer system (akin to SEPA in Europe, and vastly superior to ACH).
All bank accounts in Mexico can be identified by their special 18-digit SPEI account number, otherwise known as a ‘CLABE’.
Transfers executed via SPEI are typically concluded within a few seconds (within banking hours).
Debit Cards
Send tansfers directly to debit cards from any mexican bank. Note that the “institution_code” is obtained from the bank_codes endpoint.
Voucher
Bitso offers the ability to issue voucher codes redeemable on Bitso.com, and delivered by email. Simply specify the amount and email address, and the recipient can at any time register on Bitso.com and redeem their code.
Bank Wire
Execute a standard international bank wire via this outlet.
Cash
Deliver cash for collection by a recipient at any of thousands of cash-out locations across Mexico
