-
Official Announcements regarding changes, downtime, etc. to the API will be reported here: https://t.me/commas_API
-
We have telegram group where you can discuss any issues with API https://t.me/xcommas_api
-
Streams, endpoints, parameters, payloads, etc. decscribed in the documents in this repository are considered official and supported.
-
The use of any other streams, endpoints, parameters, or payloads, etc. is not supported; use them at your own risk and with no guarantees.
-
The base endpoint is: https://api.3commas.io/public/api
-
All endpoints return either a JSON object or array.
-
PAIR format is QUOTE_BASE (for example USDT_BTC) for all exchanges (no matter what format the exchange is using).
-
Data is returned in ascending order. Oldest first, newest last.
-
All time and timestamp related fields are in seconds.
-
HTTP
4XX
return codes are used for malformed requests; the issue is on the sender's side. -
HTTP
429
return code is used when breaking a request rate limit. -
HTTP
418
return code is used when an IP has been auto-banned for continuing to send requests after receiving429
codes. -
HTTP
5XX
return codes are used for internal errors; the issue is on 3commas's side. -
HTTP
504
return code is used when the API successfully sent the message -
Any endpoint can return an ERROR; the error payload is as follows:
{
"error": "record_invalid",
"error_description": "Invalid parameters",
"error_attributes": {
"api_key": [
"is too short (minimum is 5 characters)"
],
"secret": [
"is too short (minimum is 5 characters)"
],
"name": [
"is too short (minimum is 2 characters)"
]
}
}
- error field is mandatory. Specific error codes and messages defined in another document.
- error_description is localized extended description of error occurred. Optional.
- error_attributes used to show fields that didn't pass validations. Optional.
- For
GET
endpoints, parameters must be sent as aquery string
. - For
POST
,PUT
, andDELETE
endpoints, the parameters may be sent as aquery string
or in therequest body
with content typeapplication/x-www-form-urlencoded
orapplication/json
. You may mix parameters between both thequery string
andrequest body
if you wish to do so. - Parameters may be sent in any order.
- If a parameter sent in both the
query string
andrequest body
, thequery string
parameter will be used.

- A 429 will be returned when either rather limit is violated.
- Each route has a
weight
which determines for the number of requests each endpoint counts for. Heavier endpoints and endpoints that do operations on multiple symbols will have a heavierweight
. - When a 429 is received, it's your obligation as an API to back off and not spam the API.
- Repeatedly violating rate limits and/or failing to back off after receiving 429s will result in an automated IP ban (HTTP status 418).
- IP bans are tracked and scale in duration for repeat offenders, from 2 minutes to 3 days.
- Each endpoint has a security type that determines the how you will interact with it.
- API-keys are passed into the Rest API via the
Apikey
header. - API-keys and secret-keys are case sensitive.
- API-keys can be configured to only access certain types of secure endpoints. For example, one API-key could be used for STATS only, while another API-key can access everything.
Security Type | Description |
---|---|
NONE | Endpoint can be accessed freely. |
SIGNED | Endpoint requires sending a valid API-Key and signature. |
SIGNED
endpoints require an additional header,Signature
, to be sent.- Endpoints use
HMAC SHA256
signatures. TheHMAC SHA256 signature
is a keyedHMAC SHA256
operation. Use yoursecretKey
as the key anduri?totalParams
as the value for the HMAC operation. - The
signature
is not case sensitive. totalParams
is defined as thequery string
concatenated with therequest body
.

Linux command line using echo

Here is a step-by-step example of how to test your endpoint through postman.
Once Postman works with the values, you can implement it in code.
- With include_events: https://api.3commas.io/public/api/ver1/bots/EnterBotIdHere/show?include_events=true
By using include_events in the query string, in Postman, your Params field will be automatically filled in
Use a HMAC SHA256 generator tool.
"" | "" |
---|---|
Input value | /public/api/ver1/bots/84512/show?include_events=true |
Secret Key | Use your secret API key from 3commas |
Hashed Output | Signature result to be used in Step 3 |
Key | Value |
---|---|
Apikey | 3commas API key goes here |
Signature | Calculated Signature from Step 2 goes here |
These 2 key/value pairs can be entered in Postman under Headers (which is located under the GET url field)
If you have followed these steps you should now receive a status 200 OK with your JSON data.
By default, API mode(real or paper) synchronized with mode in web/app.
You can set a forced mode for public API through the request header "Forced-Mode" with values "real" or "paper".
Previously API supported
custom
value forleverage_type
. Now it is DEPRECATED and needs to be changed toisolated
. If you passcustom
value asleverage[type]
3commas saves it asisolated
anyway.Supported leverage types depend on the market you use:
Market | Supported Leverage Types |
---|---|
FTX Futures | cross |
Bybit | isolated, cross |
Binance Futures COIN-M | isolated, cross |
Bitmex | isolated, cross |
Binance Futures | isolated, cross |

- The base websocket endpoint is wss://ws.3commas.io/websocket
- Note that identifier is a JSON string
-
connect to the base websocket endpoint
-
create valid signature:
[linux]$ echo -n "/smart_trades" | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "NhqPtmdSJYdKjVHjA7PZj4Mge3R5YNiP1e3UZjInClVN65XAbvqqM6A7H5fATj0j" (stdin)= 8b30fb42a82e4dcfb4d0273d2910c7ae0add2b32938b19c27c44e306c56c20bc
-
build identifier(ruby Hash for example)
identifier = { channel: 'SmartTradesChannel', users: [ { api_key: 'vmPUZE6mv9SD5VNHk4HlWFsOr6aKE2zvsw0MuIgwCIPy6utIco14y7Ju91duEh8Asma', signature: '8b30fb42a82e4dcfb4d0273d2910c7ae0add2b32938b19c27c44e306c56c20bc' } ], }
-
