CryptAPI API

Overview

CryptAPI is a no-key cryptocurrency payment processor API that generates unique deposit addresses and watches for on-chain payments using a simple webhook callback URL. You provide your own wallet address and a callback URL; CryptAPI forwards the funds and notifies your server when payment arrives. It supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and several other chains with no account registration required for basic use.

💡

Beginner Tip

You do not need an account to start — just call the endpoint with your receiving wallet address and a publicly reachable callback URL. For local testing use a tunneling tool like ngrok to expose your localhost so CryptAPI can reach your webhook.

Field Reference

status Result of the API call — success means the address was created; error means something went wrong.
address_in The unique deposit address generated by CryptAPI that you should display to your customer.
address_out Your own wallet address where the forwarded funds will ultimately be sent after the fee deduction.
callback_url The webhook URL CryptAPI will call with payment details once the transaction reaches the required confirmations.
minimum_transaction_coin Minimum payment amount in the native coin (e.g. BTC) that must be received to trigger the callback.

Implementation Example

const url = "https://docs.cryptapi.io/";
const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Callback URL not reachable The URL you provided is on localhost or behind a firewall that CryptAPI servers cannot reach
Use a service like ngrok to create a temporary public URL and pass that as the callback parameter.
Invalid address format The wallet address does not match the expected format for the chosen coin
Double-check the address by pasting it into a block explorer; Bitcoin addresses start with 1, 3, or bc1.
Minimum value not met The incoming payment amount is below the coin minimum transaction threshold
Check the CryptAPI documentation for per-coin minimums, or use the /info endpoint to retrieve the current minimum dynamically.
