We’re pleased to share that we’ve released new and updated API documentation on our website. The new API documentation has been developed very closely with our code and business logic, and corresponds even more closely to the implementation. This will help improve the experience to provide our clients with easily-integrated security for digital currencies on their platforms.

Explained at greater length on our engineering blog, the BitGo engineering team has been slowly transitioning away from our old API documentation, written in Markdown and processed with Slate, and migrating to new docs that are based on an OPENAPI 3.0 schema.

First to market with a robust API for business

First released in 2015, BitGo’s API has allowed clients to quickly and easily integrate multi-signature security, policies, and controls in their platform. Recently, the addition of support for cold storage, predictive UTXO management, and webhooks has allowed for more secure, advanced, and customizable development.

BitGo has been on an aggressive pace of supporting new assets, reaching a milestone of 100+ coins and tokens. BitGo’s API makes it easy to keep up with the pace of development since our unified API is compatible with these new assets without requiring any workflow changes on the implementor’s side.

An API for institutional investor engagement

BitGo is one of the only regulated custodians with API support for performing transactions. This is one of the reasons we have been chosen by over hundreds of exchanges, OTC desks, hedge funds, and payment processors.

Over 90% of BitGo transactions are created via the APIs, resulting in 125,000,000 calls per month in our production system and 300,000,000 calls in test.
