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:
- Call
bash("curl -s https://api.ipify.org")to get the outbound IP. - 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
- Log in to upbit.com → profile → API 관리 (API Management)
- Click API 키 발급 (Issue API Key)
- When prompted for an IP, paste
<ip> - 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
- 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-openwithdraws create-withdrawal,withdraws create-krw-withdrawal,withdraws cancel-withdrawaldeposits deposit-krw,deposits create-coin-addresstravel-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_forcemust beiocorfok(NOTpost_only)- If
side=bid(buy): requiresprice, must omitvolume - If
side=ask(sell): requiresvolume, must omitprice
post_only + smp_type conflict: these two are mutually exclusive — do not set both.
Side Values
side | Meaning |
|---|---|
bid | Buy |
ask | Sell |
Order States

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.
