Introduction

Tauros provides a simple and practical REST API to help you to automatically perform nearly all actions you can do in the Tauros web app.

General considerations

Before to start developing on the Tauros API consider the following:

It is recommended to create an account in the Staging Tauros web app. Staging environment uses testnet coins.
Enable "Developer Mode" in your profile section to create an API Key and an API Secret.
The API base url is https://api.staging.tauros.io/api/ for staging environment and https://api.tauros.io/api/ for production.
All private enpoints requests require message signing.
Check the success flag to ensure that your API call succeeded.
All requests use the application/json content type and go over https.
If something goes wrong look at the msg field. There you will find the error description.

HTTP API Responses

Tauros REST API calls will return a JSON Object.

A typical successful API call will send as response a JSON object that looks like:

{ "success": true, "msg": null, "payload": { RELATED_DATA_HERE } }

An unsuccessful API call will send as response a JSON object that looks like:

{ "success": false, "msg": ERROR_DESCRIPTION }

Authentication

Create an API Key

In order to use our platform through API calls you must first enable Developer Mode in your profile section. Once enabled, you can create and configure as many API Keys as you need. API keys can be configurated with its own level of permissions.

API Key Permissions

You can restrict the functionality of API keys. Before creating a key, you must choose what permissions you would like the key to have. The permissions are:

trading - Allows a key to perform trading operations (read, place or delete orders).
withdraw - Allows a key to withdraw funds (Enable with caution).
reading - Allows a key to read account data.
check_ips - Designates wheter the client IP must be validated.
ips - List of trusted IP addresses (by default is empty). Checking is done only if check_ips permission is enabled.
enabled - Designates wheter the key is enabled to be used.

Creating a Request

All private requests must include the following headers:

'Authorization: Bearer API_KEY' - Authorization header that includes the API Key.
'Taur-Nonce: NONCE' - A number that uniquely identifies each call to the API (see What is a nonce?).
'Taur-Signature: SIGNATURE'- The base64-encoded signature (see Signing a Message)

All request bodies should have content type application/json and be valid JSON.

What is a nonce?

A nonce is a number that uniquely identifies each API request. A nonce is required for all requests to the private endpoints. It must be included in the Taur-Nonce header.

Our nonce is implemented as a counter that must be unique and must increase with each call to the API. For example, assuming a starting nonce of 0, valid subsequent nonce values would be 1, 2, 3, and so on.

curl_close($handler);

The Taur-Signature header (message signature) is generated using HMAC-SHA512 of SHA256(nonce + method + requestPath + body) and base64 decoded secret API Key. Where + means string concatenation.

The nonce value is the same as the Taur-Nonce header.
The body is the request body string or omitted if there is no request body (for GET requests, mainly).
The method should be UPPER CASE.

Below are sample API client code libraries that can be used when writing your own API client.

This API call is used to retrieve your withdraws and deposits history. Both crypto and fiat transfers will be listed here. Tauros Transfers will have the is_innerTransfer flag as true.

HTTP Request

GET /v2/wallets/transfershistory/

Query Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
limit	Integer	No	Indicates the maximum number of items to return.
offset	Integer	No	Indicates the starting position of the query in relation to the complete set of unpaginated items.
coin	String	No	Allows to filter by coin (e.g. `btc`).
type	String	No	Filters by type of transfer, wich can be `withdrawals` or `deposits`.

Trading Operations

Place a new order

{
  "success": true,
  "msg": "Order successfully placed in orderbook",
  "data": {
    "id": 123456790
  }

You can place two types of orders: limit and market. Orders can be placed only if your wallet has enough funds. Once an order is placed, your wallet funds will be frozen. If you cancel your order, the associated funds will be restored. If you cancel an open order that has been partially filled the exchanged funds will not be restored.

HTTP Request

POST /v1/trading/placeorder/

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
market	String	Yes	Market where your order will be placed (e.g. `btc-mxn`).
amount	String or Float	Yes	Amount of coins to trade.
side	String	Yes	`buy` or `sell`.
price	String or Float	Yes*	Order price at which you wish to exchange your coins.
type	String	No	`market` or `limit`. Default is `limit`.
is_amount_value	Boolean	No	Designates whether the provided `amount` is the order amount or order value.

Required only for limit orders

Webhooks

What is a webhook

Webhooks may be setup to programmatically receive callbacks from Tauros. Webhook notifications are triggered when the specified event occurs, such as an order filled (OF) or a taker trade (TD), among others. You can setup and configure a webhook in the Tauros Developer Section.

Tauros servers will make a POST http request to the specified URL with a JSON payload, and expect a HTTP 200 OK.

Type of notifications

// Notification standard:
{
  "title": "NOTIFICATION_TITLE",
  "description": "NOTIFICATION_DESCRIPTION"
  "type": 'TYPE_OF_NOTIFICATION',
  "date": '2019-02-20T03:05:56.810445Z',
  "object": OBJECT // Order, Trade or Transfer object
}

Webhook can be configurated to notify if some of the following events occur.

Types of notifications:

Order placed (ORDER_PLACED)
Order filled (ORDER_FILLED)
New trade (TRADE_HISTORY)
New deposit or withdrawal (TRANSACTION_HISTORY)
Card Transaction (CARD_HISTORY)
Order closed (ORDER_CLOSED) (by the user)
