BtcTurk API

⭐ Beginner's Pick Cryptocurrency / API Key Intermediate HTTPS CORS
Varies by plan (check documentation)

Overview

BtcTurk is one of Turkey largest cryptocurrency exchanges, offering a public and authenticated REST API for accessing real-time price data and placing trades. The public endpoints return current orderbook data and ticker prices for TRY, USDT, and BTC trading pairs without authentication. The authenticated endpoints support order management and account balance queries using HMAC-signed requests.

💡

Beginner Tip

Start with the free public ticker endpoint to get live prices without any setup — the CORS header is enabled so you can call it directly from a browser or frontend app. Use the pair list endpoint first to get valid pairSymbol values like BTCTRY or ETHTRY.

  headers: {

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Invalid pairSymbol parameter BtcTurk uses concatenated uppercase symbols like BTCTRY, not BTC/TRY or BTC-TRY.
Call https://api.btcturk.com/api/v2/server/exchangeinfo to retrieve the full list of valid pairSymbol values.
401 on authenticated endpoints HMAC authentication requires signing the nonce and api key together with your secret key.
Follow the HMAC-SHA256 signing guide in the BtcTurk docs carefully; a small formatting error will invalidate the signature.
Empty bids or asks in orderbook Some pairs may have thin liquidity and return empty sides of the order book.
Check market activity via the ticker endpoint first; if 24h volume is very low, the order book may be sparse.
