The YouHodler API provides a unified REST API for accessing conversion services. This guide walks you through making your first API call.

Base URL

https://api.youhodler.com

Obtain an API Key

API authentication requires an API key and a secret used to sign POST requests. Both can be generated in the API section of the web application.

See the Authentication guide for more details.

Making Your First Request

All requests require the x-apikey header for authentication.

Example: Get account balances

curl -X GET "https://api.youhodler.com/v1/balance" \
  -H "x-apikey: YOUR_API_KEY"

See the API Reference to understand the list of available methods.

API Versioning

The API uses URI-based versioning. For example all v1 endpoints are prefixed with /v1/:

GET /v1/balance
GET /v1/convert/exchangeInfo
POST /v1/convert/exchange

See the Versioning guide for the full version support policy.
