Overview

Indodax is Indonesia's largest cryptocurrency exchange API, allowing you to trade Bitcoin and dozens of altcoins against the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). The public API provides real-time ticker prices, order books, and trade history for all IDR-denominated pairs without authentication. Private endpoints for placing orders and checking balances require an API key and HMAC signature.

Beginner Tip

If you are new to Indodax, begin with the public ticker endpoint at https://indodax.com/api/ticker_all — it returns prices for all pairs in a single unauthenticated request, so you can explore the data structure risk-free.

Request
const url = "https://indodax.com/api/ticker/btc_idr";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

error: invalid pair The trading pair format is wrong; Indodax uses lowercase with underscore before idr.
Use the format "btc_idr" or "eth_idr" (all lowercase with _idr suffix) for Indonesian Rupiah pairs.
Invalid nonce When calling private endpoints, the nonce value must be a strictly increasing integer.
Use a Unix timestamp in milliseconds as your nonce to ensure it always increments between requests.
Invalid credentials The HMAC-SHA512 signature for private API calls was computed incorrectly.
Sign the URL-encoded POST body using your Secret Key with HMAC-SHA512 and send the result in the Sign header.
