Building Your Own Trading APP or Service?

API ‘s have become a standard feature and an integral part of any developers’ toolkit. Companies use these types of connections to make data available internally as well as to clients and users. In order to provide our users with a complete service, we provide a restful connection to our platform which can be accessed freely from anywhere.

iCE³X have a PUBLIC API that allows you to build your own application and consume public trading data via our application programming interface. This is particularly useful for plugin developers or mobile app creators. You can use the link below to test a live example of the response for the order book ticker.

Our PRIVATE API requires authentication but gives the developer access to a range of methods in order to build complicated applications, trading bots and reporting tools. You can find complete documentation by clicking on the link below.

Security Note: It is very important to pay close attention to security requirements when building an application which interfaces with or connects software to any type of product where there is a value transfer involved. We will happily review any product or service which you create in order to help secure it for you. We are not able to test functionality, endorse or promote your application as we ultimately can only control the security of the connections we provide. At Present we do not allow for FUND Transfer Requests via software connection. This is a conscious decision which we have not taken lightly. For more information on corporate use of our services, please contact the service desk.

The app also has some additional notification functionality and has a balanced news feed, which picks news articles across multiple channels to show in your local feed. This is also a very lightweight app which will not eat into your data allowance as many “cryptocurrency wallets” do. Here is a great example of an iCE³X API Info App which an Android Developer in Johannesburg built. This is a really clean and user-friendly app which allows a trader to have instant access to iCE3X data and also has the functionality to track portfolios. This is done by using “investment cards”. The beauty of this approach is that the app only uses the public API, so it does not store or need any permissions to your device or iCE3.com trading account. Should you lose your phone or worse, have it stolen, you are safe in the knowledge your cryptocurrency is secure. Moreover, you also know your information is still protected.The app also has some additional notification functionality and has a balanced news feed, which picks news articles across multiple channels to show in your local feed.
