Overview

coincheck allows roughly two kinds of APIs; Public API and Private API.

Public API allows you to browse order status and order book.

Private API allows you to create and cancel new orders, and to check your balance.

Requast URL

https://coincheck.com

Authentication

Please authenticate to use a Private API.

Generate API Key

First, please create your API Key. You can create one here.

Please don't share your Access key and Secret Access key with others

Make a request using these keys.

Permission settings

By generating an API key, you can set a permission for each function.

And you can also give permission to IP addresses you prefer.

Making a Request

For requests that require authentication, you have to add information below to HTTP Header.

• ACCESS-KEY Access key you genertaed at API key
• ACCESS-NONCE Positive integer will increase every time you send request (managed for each API key). A common practice is to use UNIX time. Maximum value is 9223372036854775807.
• ACCESS-SIGNATURE SIGNATURE mentioned later

Create Singature

SIGNATURE is a HMAC-SHA256 encoded message containing: ACCESS-NONCE, Request URL and Request body by using API key.

Ruby

require "openssl"

nonce = Time.now.to_i.to_s
url = "https://coincheck.com/api/accounts/balance"
body = "hoge=foo"
message = nonce + url + body
secret = "API_SECRET"
OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest(OpenSSL::Digest.new("sha256"), secret, message)
# => "3919705fea4b0cd073b9c6e01e139f3b056782c57c5cffd5aea6d8c4ac98bef7"
  

PHP

$strUrl = "https://coincheck.com/api/accounts/balance";
$intNonce = time();
$arrQuery = array("hoge" => "foo");
$strAccessSecret = "API_SECRET";
$strMessage = $intNonce . $strUrl . http_build_query($arrQuery);
$strSignature = hash_hmac("sha256", $strMessage, $strAccessSecret);
# => "3bc1f33d802056c61ba8c8108f6ffb7527bcd184461a3ea0fed3cee0a22ae15d"
  

Request sample

Ruby

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
require 'openssl'

key = "API_KEY"
secret = "API_SECRET"
uri = URI.parse "https://coincheck.com/api/accounts/balance"
nonce = Time.now.to_i.to_s
message = nonce + uri.to_s
signature = OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest(OpenSSL::Digest.new("sha256"), secret, message)
headers = {
  "ACCESS-KEY" => key,
  "ACCESS-NONCE" => nonce,
  "ACCESS-SIGNATURE" => signature
}

https = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
https.use_ssl = true
response = https.start {
  https.get(uri.request_uri, headers)
}

puts response.body

WebSocket API (beta)

The WebSocket API enables real-time transaction that is hard to implement with HTTP. With WebSocket API you can fetch Coincheck orderbook information and transaction history seamlessly.

Since the WebSocket API is still in beta, the specification may change, or operation may be unstable. Also, "btc_jpy", "etc_jpy", "fct_jpy" and "mona_jpy" are available as currency pairs. (As of September 30, 2020)
