Bittrex Data Parser & API

Bittrex was a Seattle-based US cryptocurrency exchange known for its broad altcoin coverage and regulatory-first approach, and StockAPIS extracts its spot market data — last trade rate, bid/ask spreads, 24h volume, OHLCV candles, order books and trade history across 200+ trading pairs — through a single REST API. Bittrex operated an official public REST API (v3) before winding down its US operations in 2023; StockAPIS normalizes that data to the same schema you use for every other exchange, so historical Bittrex feeds line up with live venues like Binance and Coinbase without separate integrations.

Platform Overview

Market Position

• A Seattle-based US spot exchange, historically known for early altcoin listings and a compliance-first stance
• 200+ trading pairs spanning major coins and a deep long tail of altcoins
• Built a reputation for regulatory transparency and institutional-grade operations in the US market
• Operated an official public REST API (v3); US and global operations wound down through 2023

Data Coverage

StockAPIS exposes the full Bittrex spot market surface:

• Spot market data — last trade rate, 24h volume, bid/ask spreads, daily high/low/open
• Order book — depth snapshots with configurable limits for liquidity analysis
• Trades — recent trade history with timestamps, rates and volumes
• OHLCV / candles — candlestick data across intervals for historical and technical analysis

Quick Start

import stockapis
 
client = stockapis.Client(api_key="your-api-key")
 
# Real-time ticker for a Bittrex pair
btc = client.bittrex.get_market_data(symbol="BTC-USD")
print(f"Bitcoin: ${btc['lastTradeRate']}  ·  24h vol {btc['volume']}")

const { StockAPIS } = require("stockapis");
const client = new StockAPIS({ apiKey: "your-api-key" });
 
// Order book depth (top 100 levels)
const book = await client.bittrex.getOrderBook({ symbol: "BTC-USD", depth: 100 });
console.log(book.bid[0], book.ask[0]);
