Introduction

The following methods are used to empower your service with Changelly exchange features. You can request more features by contacting our development team. Changelly API is a white-label exchange solution.

Changelly API v2 is a faster, safer and more flexible version of our API.

Rates and limits received using the API v2 estimation methods are compatible only with API v2 and can be used only to create a transaction using API v2 methods (createTransaction, createFixTransaction).
