# bitbank Exchange API
> Live spot market data from bitbank, a major Japanese crypto exchange, served straight from its public order books — no key on the data, nothing cached, nothing stored. Look up any market for its last price, best bid/ask and spread, 24h open/high/low, 24h change and base/quote volume; rank every market for a quote currency (Japanese yen JPY, or BTC) by 24h turnover; list the tradable pairs with their base and quote; or pull live order-book depth with the running spread. Markets are addressed BASE_QUOTE (BTC_JPY). This is the bitbank venue specifically — a distinct Japanese-yen price feed, ideal for JPY price discovery and Japan-market arbitrage, separate from the USD/USDT-quoted exchange APIs in the catalogue.
