How to get started with the Abyiss API.

API access differs based on your plan

Getting Started with the Abyiss API

Welcome to the Abyiss API! This guide will walk you through the steps to get started and harness the power of our API, enabling you to connect to over 100+ cryptocurrency exchanges and access real-time data for more than 100,000+ cryptocurrencies.

Step 1: Get Your API Keys

To begin using the Abyiss API, you'll need to sign up for an account. Once you have an account, you can find your API Key in the dashboard. API keys are used for authentication in all your API requests. Requests without a valid API key will result in an error.

To learn more about Authentication and API Keys please reference the API Keys - Authentication section under API Architecture.

Step 2: Explore Available Endpoints

Our API Endpoints are broken up into a few categories:

• Octane API: Access on and off-ramp services for cryptocurrencies.

• Crypto API: Access real-time and historical data for over 100,000+ cryptocurrencies across 100+ centralized exchanges. Retrieve information such as market prices, trading volumes, and more.

• Blockchain API: Interact with blockchain networks and retrieve data related to decentralized exchanges, blocks, tokens, liquidity pools, and more. Leverage this API category to build applications that require direct access to blockchain data.

You will need an API Key to access all of our endpoints.

Step 3: Make Your First Request

To make your first request, just ping our API: https://api.abyiss.com/ping. This will return "Hello from the Abyiss". All requests return JSON-encoded responses.

GET https://api.abyiss.com/ping

apiKey = "YOUR API KEY"" 
client = Abyiss.Client(apiKey) 


exchanges = client.getExchanges()

exchangeDetails = client.getExchangeDetails("coinbasepro")

exchangeStatus = client.getExchangeStatus("coinbasepro")

exchangeMarkets = client.getExchangeMarkets("coinbasepro")

exchangeMarketDetails = client.getMarketDetails("coinbasepro", "BTC-USDT")

aggregates = client.aggregates("coinbasepro", "BTC-USDT", "1h", '300')

trades = client.trades("coinbasepro", "BTC-USDT", '300')

quotes = client.quotes("coinbasepro", "BTC-USDT")

orderbook = client.orderBook("coinbasepro", "BTC-USDT")
