HitBTC Data Parser & API

HitBTC is a long-established cryptocurrency exchange known for its broad altcoin coverage, and StockAPIS extracts its real-time market data — spot prices, full order books, OHLCV candles, recent trades and 24h statistics across 800+ trading pairs — through a single REST API. HitBTC offers an official public API, and StockAPIS normalizes it to the same schema you use for every other exchange, so you query HitBTC, Binance and Kraken the same way without maintaining separate integrations.

Platform Overview

Market Position

• A long-running exchange with one of the widest altcoin selections — 800+ trading pairs
• Strong coverage of small- and mid-cap tokens that are often unlisted on larger venues
• Spot plus margin trading, with European market accessibility
• Official public REST + WebSocket API, complemented by StockAPIS’s unified normalization

Data Coverage

StockAPIS exposes the full HitBTC market surface:

• Spot market data — real-time prices, 24h volume, bid/ask spreads, weighted average price
• Order book — live depth snapshots with configurable limits for liquidity analysis
• Trades — recent trades with timestamps, prices and quantities
• OHLCV / candles — candlestick data across intervals (1m → 1M) for historical and technical analysis
• 24h statistics — price change, high/low, open/close and quote volume per symbol
• Symbol info — listed trading pairs, base/quote currencies and tick metadata

Quick Start

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

const { StockAPIS } = require("stockapis");
const client = new StockAPIS({ apiKey: "your-api-key" });
 
// Live order book (top 100 levels)
const book = await client.hitbtc.getOrderBook({ symbol: "BTCUSD", limit: 100 });
console.log(book.bids[0], book.asks[0]);
