NovaDax API

Cryptocurrency / API Key Intermediate HTTPS
Varies by plan (check documentation)

Overview

NovaDax is a cryptocurrency exchange API that gives access to real-time market data, order book information, and trading management features. Developers can use it to build trading bots or market monitoring tools for the Brazilian and Latin American crypto markets. An API key is required for trading endpoints, while market data can be accessed more freely.

💡

Beginner Tip

Public market data endpoints on NovaDax do not require authentication, so you can fetch ticker prices without an API key to get started. Reserve your API key for placing or managing orders.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized Missing or incorrect API key in the request headers
Include your API key and secret in the required headers; refer to the NovaDax docs for the correct signature generation process
Invalid symbol error Using an incorrect trading pair symbol format
Fetch available symbols from /v1/common/symbols and use the exact symbol string returned (e.g., BTC_BRL)
429 Rate limit exceeded Sending too many requests in a short time window
Implement request throttling in your client; check the rate limit headers in the response to adjust your request frequency
