Korbit Data Parser & API

Korbit is South Korea’s first cryptocurrency exchange (founded 2013) and a leading KRW-based trading venue, and StockAPIS extracts its real-time market data — Korean won spot prices, order book depth, OHLCV candles, recent trades and 24h statistics across 20+ KRW pairs — through a single REST API. Korbit offers an official public API, and StockAPIS normalizes it to the same schema you use for every other exchange, so you query Korbit, Binance and Coinbase the same way without maintaining separate integrations.

Platform Overview

Market Position

• South Korea’s first cryptocurrency exchange, operating since 2013
• A core KRW (Korean won) trading venue, affiliated with the NXC / Nexon group
• 20+ trading pairs focused on the Korean retail and institutional market
• Official public REST + WebSocket API, complemented by StockAPIS’s unified normalization

Data Coverage

StockAPIS exposes the full Korbit market surface:

• Spot market data — real-time last price, 24h volume, high/low and percent change for KRW pairs
• Order book — live bid/ask depth snapshots with configurable limits and spread data
• Trades — recent trade history with timestamps, prices and volumes
• OHLCV / candles — candlestick data across intervals for historical and technical analysis
• 24h statistics — rolling daily stats per symbol for the Korean market

Quick Start

import stockapis
 
client = stockapis.Client(api_key="your-api-key")
 
# Real-time ticker for a Korbit KRW pair
btc = client.korbit.get_market_data(symbol="btc_krw")
print(f"Bitcoin: ₩{btc['last']}  ·  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.korbit.getOrderBook({ symbol: "btc_krw", limit: 100 });
console.log(book.bids[0], book.asks[0]);
