I'm developing some software around the ShapeShift.io service and would like to be able to programatically convert coins from one type to another. I don't see a way to get a deposit address from your API. Any chance of this being implemented?
Hi Cypherpunk38 - this is actually in our API already (
https://shapeshift.io/api.html#shift-conduit), you would use the following call for a normal conduit which would let you generate a deposit address:
url: shapeshift.io/shift
method: POST
data type: JSON
data required:
withdrawal = the address for resulting coin to be sent to
pair = what coins are being exchanged in the form <input coin>_<output coin> ie btc_ltc
returnAddress = (Optional) address to return deposit to if anything goes wrong with exchange
destTag = (Optional) Destination tag that you want appended to a Ripple payment to you
rsAddress = (Optional) For new NXT accounts to be funded, you supply this on NXT payment to you
apiKey = (Optional) Your affiliate PUBLIC KEY, for volume tracking, affiliate payments, split-shifts, etc...
example data: {"withdrawal":"AAAAAAAAAAAAA", "pair":"btc_ltc", returnAddress:"BBBBBBBBBBB"}
Success Output:
{
deposit: <Deposit Address (or memo field if input coin is BTS / BITUSD)>,
depositType: <Deposit Type (input coin symbol)>,
withdrawal: <Withdrawal Address>, //-- will match address submitted in post
withdrawalType: <Withdrawal Type (output coin symbol)>,
public: <NXT RS-Address pubkey (if input coin is NXT)>,
xrpDestTag : <xrpDestTag (if input coin is XRP)>,
apiPubKey: <public API attached to this shift, if one was given>
}
Let us know if you have any questions on this but it should be what you are looking for.
Thanks for using ShapeShift!
