07/21/2024, 15:47:23

Dear KuCoin Broker Partners,

We are pleased to announce the launch of the KuCoin Broker Fast API Service, a significant upgrade to our API offerings. This new service introduces KuCoin OAuth2.0 login, an one-click authorization linked to third-party applications, enhancing trading security and simplifying the connection between KuCoin and brokers.

Key features of the Fast API Service:

  • No need for manual binding of passphrase or API key (version3)
  • Automatic API key generation and broker connection via OAuth
  • Default permissions for spot trading, futures trading, and KuCoin Earn access
  • Enhanced security for trading operations

Brokers looking to integrate this service should prepare the information and submit the form:

  • Broker’s full IP list for requesting Fast API Service
  • Broker’s full IP list for trading
  • Redirect URL
  • Upon submission, KuCoin will provide brokers with their unique client_id and client_secret.

Two types of tokens are issued after authorization:

  • Access token: Used to call KuCoin OpenAPI endpoints
  • Refresh token: Used to obtain a new access token upon expiration

To use tokens:

  • Broker completes authorization and obtains tokens
  • Access token is used to call KuCoin OpenAPI endpoints
  • When making requests, include the access token in the request header

Token Validity:

  • Access token valid for 1 hour, refresh token valid for 3 days.
  • If the access token expires, the endpoint becomes inaccessible. If the refresh token is still valid, the broker needs to call the refresh token endpoint to obtain a new pair of access token and refresh token. Only the new access token can continue to be used.

API Specifications:

This new service aims to significantly improve the trading experience. For brokers looking to integrate this service, please submit the form to enjoy enhanced security and streamlined trading operations. We appreciate your continued support of KuCoin!

Best,

The KuCoin Team
