We’ve been busy in the background to make Bitfinex Pulse much more accessible through automation. Following its launch yesterday, we are pleased to announce the addition of Bitfinex Pulse API documentation.

If you are a developer, you can go straight to our REST API to post, delete, or check your history. For those who might be new to APIs, we’ve put together some steps to help you below:

1. Create a Bitfinex Pulse profile

You need a Bitfinex Pulse profile to be able to post pulses. To create one, go to bitfinex.com and login to your account.

2. Create an API key

First, you need to set up your own API key. You can learn how to do this on our help page. Bitfinex Pulse terminals are REST validated V2 API calls. However, there are also two public end points for pulse history and pulse profile.

To learn more about Bitfinex’s validated REST API, visit our validated endpoints documentation.

We make it even easier for you to get started on Bitfinex Pulse. With these ready-to-use scripts below, you can post or delete lentils, just by adding your API key and your API secret.

3. Post your first pulse

You’re ready to post your first ever pulse on Bitfinex Pulse! 🎉 Here are the scripts and instructions to follow.

Some general tips for pulse posting:

  • Images can be added to the body using the base64 format.
  • All the markup features are supported on Bitfinex Pulse. Title and Content should be strings (no HTML content allowed) with a Title of a minimum of 16 characters and a maximum of 120, but the Content must have a minimum of 16 characters.
  • Pulses are posted as private by default, if you want to post them as public make sure they add subPublic: 1 to the body.

4. Remove pulse

We know that sometimes people make mistakes. So, we provide for that by providing the ability to eliminate a pulse on Bitfinex Pulse. If by any chance you want to eliminate a pulse, here are the scripts and instructions to follow.

If you would also like to do so see the latest lentils you can use this public end point or to keep up with a certain end Bitfinex Pulf Profile you can use this one.
