Buda.com's API

Great! You found the API documentation for Buda.com. If you are not a software developer you might be a little lost 😀. We offer REST and Websocket APIs to suit your needs.

REST API

Introduction

An example using the requests library

import requests # install requests with `pip install requests`

url = 'https://www.buda.com/api/v2/markets/eth-btc/ticker'
response = requests.get(url)

print(response.json())

This call returns an object with the following format:

{
  "markets": [
    {
      "id": "BTC-CLP",
      "name": "btc-clp",
      "base_currency": "BTC",
      "quote_currency": "CLP",

Obtain market details

import requests

market_id = 'btc-clp'
url = f'https://www.buda.com/api/v2/markets/{market_id}'
response = requests.get(url)
print(response.json())

A given market separates the buys and sells by currency. In each market, the base_currency is bought or sold, and the quote_currency is used to pay for these trades. We use these two currencies to identify each market.

For example, the market in which bitcoins (BTC) are traded against dollars (USDC) is: btc-usdc.

Quote types

This endpoint can simulate many different types of quotes.

For this, you can choose a specific market for the simulation, where our market IDs are in the <base_currency>-<quote_currency> format (we will use the eth-btc market as an example). You can simulate what a buy or sell order would be for a certian amount of the base_currency or quote_currency. (If you want more detail about what is a buy or sell order you con go check My Orders)

For the simulation, you need to choose one of the following types and send it as the type payload parameter.

Quote type Description
bid_given_size or bid_given_earned_base Simulates a buy order to receive a certain amount of base_currency (for example: How much btc is requiered to obtain a certain amount of eth?)
bid_given_value or bid_given_spent_quote Simulates a buy order to spend a certain amount of quote_currency (for example: How much eth will I receive if I buy a certain amount of btc?)
ask_given_size or ask_given_spent_base Simulates a sell order to spend a certain amount of base_currency (for example: How much btc would I receive if I sell a certain amount of eth?)
ask_given_value or ask_given_earned_quote Simulates a sell order to receive a certain amount of quote_currency (for example: How much eth is requiered to obtain a certain amount of btc?)

Private Endpoints

Private endpoints access a user's private information, place/cancel orders, and deposit/withdraw funds.

In order to access these endpoints, it is necessary to authenticate the user. This is done by using an API-KEY and a signature derived from an API-SECRET.

Authentication

Authentication example using the Requests library

import base64
import hmac
import time
import requests.auth

class BudaHMACAuth(requests.auth.AuthBase):
    """Appends the HMAC Buda authentication to the Request object"""

    def __init__(self, api_key: str, secret: str):
        self.api_key = api_key
        self.secret = secret

    def get_nonce(self) -> str:
        # 1. Generate nonce (timestamp in microseconds)
        return str(int(time.time() * 1e6))

    def sign(self, r, nonce: str) -> str:
        # 2. Prepare string for signing
        components = [r.method, r.path_url]
        if r.body:
            encoded_body = base64.b64encode(r.body).decode()
            components.append(encoded_body)
        components.append(nonce)
        msg = ' '.join(components)
        # 3. Get the signature
        h = hmac.new(key=self.secret.encode(),
                        msg=msg.encode(),
                        digestmod='sha384')
        signature = h.hexdigest()
        return signature

    def __call__(self, r):
        nonce = self.get_nonce()
        signature = self.sign(r, nonce)
        # 4. Append API-KEY, nonce and signature to request header
        r.headers['X-SBTC-APIKEY'] = self.api_key
        r.headers['X-SBTC-NONCE'] = nonce
        r.headers['X-SBTC-SIGNATURE'] = signature
        return r

# To authenticate an API call the `auth` parameter must be included in the request
request = requests.post(url, auth=BudaHMACAuth(api_key, secret))

We did our best to make a secure but simple authentication process. I think it ended up being more secure than simple, but don't worry, there are many great examples.

The first step is to generate an API-KEY for the authenticated API calls. This can be done in "Mi cuenta", where you can generate an API-KEY and an API-SECRET.

Once you have your API-KEY you can use it to request private endpoints. Buda.com expects all private calls to be signed following these steps:

1. Generate a nonce

The nonce is an integer that must be greater than the most recently used nonce. This protects you from a "Man in the middle" attack. The recommended way to do this is by using timestamps.

2. Prepare string for signing

The string content is as follows:

{GET|POST|PUT} {path} {base64_encoded_body} {nonce}

Where:

For example:

GET /api/v1/orders?open=true 423874932432

3. Get the signature

The signature is an authentication message based on an HMAC hash, which is generated using the SHA-384 hash function on the API-SECRET and string generated on the previous step 😱. This string must be encoded in hexadecimal format.

Don't worry, most programming languages have an HMAC generator function included in standard libraries. An example can be seen over to your right -->.

4. Append API-KEY, nonce and signature to request header

For example:

Header Value
X-SBTC-APIKEY 0faea2f360a508a6d105a3bb60247af0
X-SBTC-NONCE 145511231131231
X-SBTC-SIGNATURE 5c873eddb1117b930b1caa058ada3f7...

Pagination

This is an example of a paginated response

    {
      "id": 1,
      "type": "Ask",
      "state": "traded",
      "created_at": "2017-03-10T21:11:42.131Z",
      "market_id": "BTC-CLP",
      "account_id": 5,
      "fee_currency": "CLP",

    ...
  ],
  "meta": {
    "total_pages": 3,
    "total_count": 50,
    "current_page": 1
  }
}

Some responses may include a lot of data, so in order to prevent our server from being overworked and delaying the response, we use pagination to separate the response into smaller segments.

If an endpoint uses pagination, then it will accept the following query parameters:

Query Parameters

Parameter Default Description
per 20 Elements per page [min: 1, max: 300]
page 1 The number of pages to receive. The first page received is 1

Response Details (JSON)

Estos endpoints siempre devolverán, además de los elementos solicitados, un objeto meta dentro de la respuesta, cuya estructura es la siguiente:

These endpoint's response will additionally include a meta object with the following format:

An order is a fundamental part of any exchange. It consists of either a sell or buy offer (type) for a ciertain amount of a market's base_currency (usually cypto) at a limit or market price.

Market orders

If the order type (price_type) is market, the order will be immediatly executed at the best possible price, taking account the order amount, with the current order book. These orders are traded against the current limit orders.

Limit orders

If the order type (price_type) is limit, an order is created at the desired price, using the limit parameter, which will execute only if it can trade against an opposing market order.

These orders are programed to execute immediately after their creation, but this process occurs asynchronously since each order enters a FIFO queue. A limit order can be partially filled, since an opposing market order may not cover it entirely.

If you need to consult for various states then you can set the state request payload parameter like this: state=state1,state2,state3.

Rate Limits

We take some precautions to protect ourselves from DoS attacks or abuse of our API. This is done to ensure that our service is stable for all our users.

If your request reaches our limit, you will receive a response with the 429 code, and you must wait before trying again.

These limits are calculated in 1 minute and 1 second intervals. For 1 second intervals, as long as you do less than 20 requests/second you should not trigger our limit.

General

Anonymous (unauthenticated) calls will be limited by IP address at a rate of 120 requests/minute. Authenticated calls will be limited by api key at a rate of 220 requests/minute.

Trading (placing and canceling orders)

The endpoints used to create and cancel orders are limited by market at a rate of 100 orders/minute.

Errors

We do our best to adhere to the HTTP error conventions. If an error occurs, our API sends a JSON object containing more details.

Example error response (HTTP 403):

Websockets API

Introduction

import websocket

def on_message(ws, message):
    print(message)

def on_open(ws):
    print('web-socket connected.')

def channels():
    pubsub_key = "pubsub_key"
    chs = [
        "book%40btcclp",
        "book%40ethclp",
        "trades%40btcclp",
        f"balances%40{pubsub_key}",
        f"orders%40{pubsub_key}"
    ]
    return ",".join(chs)



if __name__ == "__main__":
    SOCKET = f"wss://realtime.buda.com/sub?channel={channels()}"
    ws = websocket.WebSocketApp(SOCKET, on_message = on_message)
    ws.on_open = on_open
    ws.run_forever(ping_interval=10)

All events have the following structure:

{
 ev: 'book-sync',
 ts: '123123123.123123',
 mk: 'BTC-CLP',
 ...
}

WebSockets allow you to open channels between client and server, so that you can stream data in real-time. With this API you can communicate with our server and receive responses based on events, instead of having to constantly query.

We currently use Nchan for this real-time communication. You can find more information on how Nchan works with WebSockets at https://nchan.io/#subscriber-endpoints.

To access the authenticated WebSockets, you will need your pubsub_key, which can be found using the account information endpoint.

Our WebSocket's URLs usually have this format:

wss://realtime.buda.com/sub?channel=[channel]

For cases where authentication is required, they have the following format:

wss://realtime.buda.com/sub?channel=[channel]@[pubsub_key]

For cases where you want to subscribe to multiple channles, they have the following format:

wss://realtime.buda.com/sub?channel=[channel1,channel2,[email protected]_key]

Where:

Path Parameters

Parameter Value
