About KuCoin Exchange and its API

KuCoin is a well-known crypto-to-crypto exchange that made its debut in late 2017, with its initial development funded through an ICO. The exchange provides both unofficial API documentation available on GitHub, maintained by sammchardy, and official documentation on its website. The KuCoin API is a versatile tool that caters to a broad audience, including those interested in creating exchange services and applications, as well as traders looking to program trading algorithms and bots.

Utilizing the KuCoin API

For users building trading applications, the API allows them to program these applications to execute specific orders when predefined parameters are met, enabling automated trading and tracking.

Concerns and Issues

Despite its functionality, there have been user concerns regarding the use of the KuCoin API. Some users have reported instances of their funds being locked while using the API for trading applications. Additionally, there have been concerns about the support provided for the API. Users have expressed dissatisfaction with the lengthy timeframe for gaining support and the need to open support tickets. Furthermore, there have been reports of tickets being closed by team members before resolving the underlying issues. In contrast to Binance exchange, which offers a Telegram group for API support, KuCoin lacks this level of dedicated support.
