The Mercado Bitcoin API provides a comprehensive interface for accessing cryptocurrency market data, managing user accounts, and executing trades. It supports functionalities including retrieving market data such as order books, trades, and candles, as well as facilitating deposits and withdrawals for digital currencies and Brazilian Real. With robust security measures and user authorizations, it ensures safe and efficient operations in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
What can you use it for?
Build a live price dashboard, an automated trading bot, or a portfolio tracker using real exchange data. You can fetch tickers, order books and historical candles, or subscribe to the WebSocket for instant updates. Public data endpoints work without a key; trading and wallet calls require an account, 2FA and OAuth2 API keys. The API is free to use for queries and trading with an account, so you can prototype without paying.
