Each endpoint states its weight, parameters and notes on behaviour, with less on when not to use one (15 of 20). Enums for order types, time in force and symbol filters, required columns in the parameter tables (12 of 15). Request and response examples throughout and an error code list with messages (14 of 15). A dated changelog since 2018 with retirements announced months ahead, such as the 2 September 2026 field removal notified on 2 December 2025 (15). 20 + 10 + 15 + 12 + 14 + 15 = 86.\n- Upbit Open API (66): No OpenAPI found; the reference is a readme.io site with a Markdown twin of every page (5 of 25). llms.txt on docs.upbit.com and a kr/llms.txt index (10). Each reference page states what the endpoint does, its group and its errors, with warnings such as market_offline after maintenance (14 of 20). Typed parameters with enums for order type, side and time in force and required flags (11 of 15). Recipes in Python, Java and Node.js and an error format of error.name and error.message with HTTP statuses (13 of 15). Feature versions in page histories (v1.6.1) and dated notices with effective dates, no single API version (13 of 15). 5 + 10 + 14 + 11 + 13 + 13 = 66.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Binance API +20\n\n- Binance API (35): No machine payment protocol (0). A 0.1 per cent standard spot fee is stated in the fee FAQ; the maker and taker table and futures fees load by script and weren't read (15 of 20). Public market data needs no key and the testnet is free with a GitHub login (20). A person signs up, passes Verified Plus verification, deposits and mints a key (0). 0 + 15 + 20 + 0 = 35.\n- Upbit Open API (15): No machine payment protocol (0). The fee schedule is on upbit.com, which disallows every crawler path, so no price is recorded (0 of 20, unchecked). Public quotation endpoints need no key, card or account; trading needs a verified Korean account. Judgement call (15 of 20). A person must sign up, pass identity checks and issue keys on the PC web site (0). 0 + 0 + 15 + 0 = 15.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Binance API +13\n\n- Binance API (72): API keys with HMAC, RSA or Ed25519 signatures, permissions for reading, trading, futures and withdrawals, an IP restriction, revocation in API Management, and OAuth with four scopes on the MCP server; no key expiry found (28 of 30). Read-only keys, sub-accounts, withdrawals only with an IP restriction, and the MCP server's isolated Agentic sub-account with no withdrawal scope and confirmation before writes (18 of 20). The API returns no untrusted content (10). Keys are listed in API Management and used weight is returned per call, but no per-call log for the operator was found (6 of 15). security.txt with a contact and no expiry, a Bugcrowd programme named in the proof-of-solvency repository, no certification read (10 of 20). 28 + 18 + 10 + 6 + 10 = 72.\n- Upbit Open API (59): Keys limited to chosen functions, a mandatory public IPv4 allow-list, a JWT per request with a fresh nonce, keys listed with expiry through the API, and a withdrawal safe-lock on by default (27 of 30). Read-only keys, the default withdrawal lock lifted only in the app, and skills that require a typed CONFIRM before writes (17 of 20). The API returns exchange data and announcements, no third-party content (10 of 15). An API key list endpoint; no per-call log for the operator (5 of 15). No disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification found; security.txt on upbit.com could not be fetched under its robots.txt (0 of 20). 27 + 17 + 10 + 5 + 0 = 59.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Upbit Open API +11\n\n- Binance API (43): The editorial half. A closed service whose Terms of Use couldn't be read; the docs, connectors, CLI and skills are MIT on GitHub (10 of 30). The privacy notice couldn't be read, so no retention or subprocessor statement was checked; the prohibited-countries list is public and dated (5 of 30). The changelog gives retirement dates for SBE schemas and FIX fields months ahead (16 of 20). No subprocessor or data-location statement read (0 of 20). 10 + 5 + 16 + 0 = 31.\n- Upbit Open API (54): The editorial half. A closed service whose user and Open API terms could not be fetched under upbit.com's robots.txt, and whose SDK licence page calls the SDK material not open source while the repositories carry Apache-2.0 (8 of 30). The developer centre's privacy policy names Dunamu Inc., gives retention periods and names Zendesk in Japan; the main privacy policy was not read (14 of 30). Notices with effective dates, including the path-format change and the deprecated Remaining-Req min field (12 of 20). Zendesk and Google Analytics named with a location for the developer centre only (8 of 20). 8 + 14 + 12 + 8 = 42.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Binance API +6\n\n- Binance API (76): limit on depth, trades and klines, a symbols filter on exchangeInfo and tickers, and SBE encoding, though fields cannot be selected (16 of 25). fromId, startTime, endTime and limit on history endpoints (16 of 20). Error codes with messages an agent can branch on, such as the rate limit and timestamp errors (17 of 20). newClientOrderId on orders, a cancel-replace endpoint and the 5xx unknown-status rule, but no idempotency key on other writes (12 of 20). Connectors in nine languages, a CLI with testnet and demo profiles, and a timestamped HMAC or Ed25519 signature on every private call (15). 16 + 16 + 17 + 12 + 15 = 76.\n- Upbit Open API (70): Graded on the REST API with the CLI. Candle counts, list limits and the CLI's --max-items and --transform size responses (16 of 25). Paging and filters on orders and history (15 of 20). error.name codes to branch on, which the November 2026 notice tells clients to use, and 418 with its block length (15 of 20). An order-test endpoint and a CONFIRM gate in the skills; an order identifier for idempotent placement was not checked (11 of 20). Few required parameters, SDKs in three languages and a CLI, but keys need the PC web site and a registered IP (13 of 15). 16 + 15 + 15 + 11 + 13 = 70.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Binance API | Upbit Open API | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 45 | 42 | Binance API +3 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 86 | 66 | Binance API +20 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 76 | 70 | Binance API +6 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 72 | 59 | Binance API +13 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 35 | 15 | Binance API +20 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 81 | 83 | Upbit Open API +2 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 43 | 54 | Upbit Open API +11 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **63.2 · B** | **54.7 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Binance API | Upbit Open API |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Binance | Dunamu Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://agent.binance.com/mcp/agentic` | no (local only) |\n| Transports | Streamable HTTP | |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | API key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Pay per use |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary hosted service under Binance's Terms of Use, which load by script and weren't read.

There is no status page, the terms and privacy notice could not be read, and the MCP tool list is not published.\n\n**Upbit Open API.** Upbit's Open API has a mandatory IP allow-list, scoped keys with a default withdrawal lock, per-group rate limits with 429 and 418 signalling, an order-test endpoint, official SDKs, a CLI and agent skills with a CONFIRM gate. There is no MCP server, sandbox or status page, and the fees and terms sit on a host our crawler may not read.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Binance API\n\n1. Read the X-MBX-USED-WEIGHT and X-MBX-ORDER-COUNT headers and stop on 429 for the Retry-After seconds; a 418 ban runs 2 minutes to 3 days\n2. Treat a 5xx on an order as unknown, not failed, and query the order by origClientOrderId before retrying\n3. Use an Ed25519 key with an IP restriction and only the reading and trading permissions; never enable withdrawals for an agent key\n4. Develop on testnet.binance.vision with BINANCE_API_ENV=testnet; it resets about monthly without notice\n5. For the MCP route, the person must fund the Agentic sub-account from the web UI first; the agent cannot move funds in from the main account\n\n### Upbit Open API\n\n1. Ask the person for a key with only the functions the task needs and your server's public IPv4 address registered; a private or unregistered IP is refused\n2. Sign every request with a fresh JWT (HS512, new nonce, SHA512 query hash) and branch on error.name, not error.message\n3. Run POST /v1/orders/test before a live order; it costs nothing and shares the 8-a-second order-test group\n4. Read Remaining-Req and keep orders under 12 a second per pocket; on 429 wait for the next second and on 418 wait out the stated block\n5. Leave the withdrawal safe-lock on unless the person lifts it in the app, and send paths with single slashes and no trailing slash before 16 November 2026\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Binance API or Upbit Open API?\n\nBinance API scores 63.2 (B) on agent readiness against Upbit Open API's 54.7 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
