Get started in three steps

Make your first API call and start building with Wallbit.

Step 1: Get your API Key

  1. Log in to your Wallbit account (in the app or in the Wallbit Dashboard)
  2. Navigate to Settings → API Keys
  3. Click Create New API Key
  4. Select the permissions you need:
    • read - Query balances and transactions
    • trade - Execute buy/sell orders
  5. Copy and securely store your API key
Your API key will only be shown once. Store it securely and never commit it to version control.

Step 2: Make your first request

Try fetching your checking account balance:
curl -X GET "https://api.wallbit.io/api/public/v1/balance/checking" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key_here"
You should receive a response like:
{
  "data": [
    {
      "currency": "USD",
      "balance": 1000.50
    }
  ]
}
Replace your_api_key_here with your actual API key.
const response = await fetch('https://api.wallbit.io/api/public/v1/balance/checking', {
  headers: {
    'X-API-Key': process.env.WALLBIT_API_KEY
  }
});

const { data } = await response.json();
console.log('Balances:', data);

Step 3: Explore more endpoints

Now that you’ve made your first request, explore what else you can do:
  • Get your stock portfolio: GET /api/public/v1/balance/stocks
  • List transactions: GET /api/public/v1/transactions
  • Execute a trade: POST /api/public/v1/trades
  • Browse available assets: GET /api/public/v1/assets
