upbit

Upbit Skill

Use the upbit CLI binary for all Upbit REST API interactions.

⚠️ Onboarding — when credentials are missing

When UPBIT_ACCESS_KEY / UPBIT_SECRET_KEY are not set, or an authenticated command returns 401:

In a single turn, do ALL of the following in this exact order:

1. Call bash("curl -s https://api.ipify.org") to get the outbound IP.
2. Write the setup instructions below in your reply text (substitute <ip> with the real IP from step 1):

---

Step 1 — Allowlist this IP on Upbit

Upbit only accepts API calls from IP addresses you explicitly allow. Add this IP:

<ip>

Step 2 — Create an API key

1. Log in to upbit.com → profile → API 관리 (API Management)
2. Click API 키 발급 (Issue API Key)
3. When prompted for an IP, paste <ip>
4. Enable scopes:
   • 자산조회 (View assets) — always required
   • 주문조회 (View orders) — required
   • 주문생성 (Place orders) — required to trade
   • 출금 (Withdraw) — only if you want withdrawal support
5. Complete 2FA + email verification, then copy your Access Key and Secret Key

Step 3 — Enter your keys

Enter your Access Key and Secret Key in the secure input card below.

Language Behavior

Detect the user's language and respond accordingly:

• Korean user: respond in Korean, use Korean terminology from references/glossary.md (e.g., 주문, 매수, 잔고, 체결, 호가)
• English user: respond in English, use English terminology from the same glossary
• Mixed/ambiguous: follow the language of the most recent message

When explaining API fields or command output, always translate field names into the user's language using the glossary. For example, if the user asks in Korean, explain bid as "매수", ask as "매도", balance as "보유 잔고".

Load references/glossary.md when translating terminology or explaining response fields.

Setup

If upbit is not installed or credentials are not configured, load references/setup.md and follow the steps there.

Check if upbit is available:

upbit --version

Authentication

Private endpoints require credentials. Configure via the CLI (recommended):

upbit config set

Credentials are saved to ~/.upbit/config and automatically used for all CLI commands.

Alternatively, set via environment variables:

export UPBIT_ACCESS_KEY=<your-access-key>
export UPBIT_SECRET_KEY=<your-secret-key>

Or pass inline per command:

upbit <resource> <command> --access-key <key> --secret-key <secret>

Private (require auth): accounts, api-keys, orders, withdraws, deposits, travel-rule, wallet-status Public (no auth): tickers, orderbooks, trades, candles, trading-pairs

Safety Rule — Write Operations

Before executing any write operation, show the full command and ask the user to type CONFIRM.

Write operations:

• orders create, orders cancel, orders cancel-and-new, orders cancel-by-uuids, orders cancel-open
• withdraws create-withdrawal, withdraws create-krw-withdrawal, withdraws cancel-withdrawal
• deposits deposit-krw, deposits create-coin-address
• travel-rule verify-deposit-by-txid, travel-rule verify-deposit-by-uuid

orders test-create is a dry-run — no CONFIRM needed.

Upbit Domain Concepts

Market Pair Format

• Field name: market
• Format: {QUOTE}-{BASE} — quote currency first, base asset second
• Delimiter: hyphen (-), not slash (/)
• Always uppercase
• Quote currencies: KRW, BTC, USDT
• Not {BASE}-{QUOTE} or {BASE}/{QUOTE} — Upbit reverses the conventional order used by most exchanges

Market	Meaning
KRW-BTC	BTC priced in KRW; Upbit uses KRW-BTC, not BTC/KRW or BTC-KRW
KRW-ETH	ETH priced in KRW
KRW-XRP	XRP priced in KRW
BTC-ETH	ETH priced in BTC
USDT-XRP	XRP priced in USDT

Account Balance Fields

Each entry from accounts list:

Field	Description
currency	Asset code (e.g., KRW, BTC, ETH)
balance	Available balance (not in any open order)
locked	Balance currently locked in open orders or withdrawals
avg_buy_price	Average purchase price (decimal string)
unit_currency	Currency avg_buy_price is denominated in (e.g., KRW, BTC)

Total holdings = balance + locked

Order Types (ord_type)

ord_type	Description	Required	Must NOT set
limit	Limit order at specified price	price, volume	—
price	Market buy — spend a fixed quote amount	price	volume
market	Market sell — sell a fixed base amount	volume	price
best	Best available price (see rules below)	see below	see below

best order rules:

• time_in_force must be ioc or fok (NOT post_only)
• If side=bid (buy): requires price, must omit volume
• If side=ask (sell): requires volume, must omit price

post_only + smp_type conflict: these two are mutually exclusive — do not set both.

Side Values

side	Meaning
bid	Buy
ask	Sell

Order States

State	Meaning
wait	Pending execution
watch	Pending reservation (stop order)
done	Fully executed
cancel	Cancelled

Order Fee Fields

Field	Description
reserved_fee	Total fee reserved when order was placed
paid_fee	Fee already charged (for partial fills)
remaining_fee	reserved_fee - paid_fee
locked	Amount locked for this order (quote currency for buys, base asset for sells)

First-Time Order Placement

Before placing an order on an unfamiliar market, run orders retrieve-chance to confirm:

• Minimum order amount (bid.min_total, ask.min_total)
• Supported order types (bid_types, ask_types)
• Fee rates (bid_fee, ask_fee, maker_bid_fee, maker_ask_fee)

upbit orders retrieve-chance --market "KRW-BTC"

Withdrawal — Multi-Chain Assets

For assets available on multiple networks (e.g., USDT), net_type is required to specify the blockchain. Use withdraws list-coin-addresses to see supported networks and addresses before withdrawing:

upbit withdraws list-coin-addresses --currency "USDT"

Withdrawal — Secondary Address

Some assets require a secondary address (Destination Tag, Memo, etc.) in addition to the main address. Always check the registered address via withdraws list-coin-addresses to see if secondary_address is present before sending.

Withdrawal — Address Not Registered (withdraw_address_not_registered)

When withdraws create-withdrawal returns a 400 error with name: withdraw_address_not_registered, the address has not been registered in the Upbit Open API withdrawal allowlist.

To register a withdrawal address, visit the allowlist management page for your environment:

Environment	URL
KR	https://www.upbit.com/mypage/open_api_management/withdraw_access_register
SG	https://sg.upbit.com/mypage/open_api_management/withdraw_access_register
ID	https://id.upbit.com/mypage/open_api_management/withdraw_access_register
TH	https://th.upbit.com/mypage/open_api_management/withdraw_access_register

After registering, run withdraws list-coin-addresses to confirm the address appears before retrying.

Deposit / Withdraw States

State	Meaning
PROCESSING	In progress
ACCEPTED	Completed
CANCELLED	Cancelled
REJECTED	Rejected
TRAVEL_RULE_SUSPECTED	Awaiting Travel Rule verification
REFUNDING	Refund in progress
REFUNDED	Refund completed

When a deposit is in TRAVEL_RULE_SUSPECTED state, use travel-rule commands to verify.

Wallet Status

wallet-status list returns per-asset network status:

wallet_state	Meaning
working	Both deposits and withdrawals available
withdraw_only	Deposits suspended
deposit_only	Withdrawals suspended
paused	Both suspended
unsupported	Not supported

Candle Units & Limits

• Minute candles: supported units are 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 240 only
• Second candles: data retention is 3 months maximum (older queries return empty array)
• count: default 1, max 200 per request

Trade Pagination

• count: max 500 per request
• cursor: pass sequential_id from last result to page forward
• days_ago: integer 1–7 (UTC-based day offset)

Ticker Key Fields

Field	Description
trade_price	Current (last) price
acc_trade_price_24h	24-hour accumulated trade value
acc_trade_volume_24h	24-hour accumulated trade volume
change	RISE, EVEN, or FALL vs. previous day close
signed_change_price	Signed absolute change (negative if falling)
highest_52_week_price / lowest_52_week_price	52-week range
