The spot base fee is stated in support articles without login, the futures base rate and the full tier table sit in images or behind script (15 of 20). Market data needs no key, no card is asked for at sign-up (20). A person registers, verifies identity and mints the key in a browser (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### Maintenance \u0026 community: Upbit Open API +10\n\n- KuCoin (73): Read as a closed hosted service. The changelog's newest past entry is 2 November 2026 and the universal SDK was pushed 15 September (30). Nine dated changelog entries since 5 August 2026 (20). A Telegram API group (t.me/KuCoin_API) and api@kucoin.com for limit requests, no public issue tracker for the API; the SDK repository's issues were not checked (10 of 25). Official SDKs current in five languages, no MCP registry presence (13 of 15). No package health signal checked (0 of 10). 73.\n- Upbit Open API (83): Read as a closed service. SDK v1.1.0 on 20 October 2026 (30). The CLI 1.0.0 on 1 September, the rate-limit update of 7 October, the SDK on 20 October and the path-format notice for 16 November 2026 (20). open-api@upbit.com answers in turn on weekdays per the support notice, notices carry dates, and the six upbit-official repositories show no open issues (12 of 15). Current official SDKs in Python, TypeScript and Go (15). Apache-2.0 repositories pushed in October 2026; CI not checked (6 of 10). 30 + 20 + 12 + 15 + 6 = 83.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Upbit Open API +8\n\n- KuCoin (62): Read for the API alone, since there is no MCP server. Responses take limit and cursor parameters on list endpoints and the order book depth is a parameter (14 of 25). Pagination and symbol filters on orders, fills and ledgers (15 of 20). Codes and messages per response, with the V2 scheme claimed to be clearer; the rate-limit page's own examples contradict its table, which costs an agent a turn (12 of 20). clientOid on orders makes retries safe; no MCP annotations to read (10 of 20). Three required fields on a spot order, official SDKs in five languages (11 of 15). 62.\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### Schema \u0026 documentation: Upbit Open API +6\n\n- KuCoin (60): No OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract was found; the docs link a Postman workspace and the universal SDK is generated from an internal spec (8 of 25). No llms.txt; the skills hub ships Markdown SKILL.md files with endpoint tables for seven product areas, read-only (6 of 10). One docs page per endpoint with a description, permission and weight, but no when-to-use guidance (12 of 20). Typed parameter tables with enums for type and side and required flags (11 of 15). Request and response examples per endpoint and a unified six-digit error code scheme introduced with V2 (10 of 15). Dated changelog with V1 to V2 versioning (13 of 15). 60.\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## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | KuCoin | Upbit Open API | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 45 | 42 | KuCoin +3 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 60 | 66 | Upbit Open API +6 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 62 | 70 | Upbit Open API +8 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 55 | 59 | Upbit Open API +4 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 35 | 15 | KuCoin +20 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 73 | 83 | Upbit Open API +10 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 54 | 54 | even |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **53.9 · D** | **54.7 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | KuCoin | Upbit Open API |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | KuCoin | Dunamu Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | | |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Pay per use |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Tools exposed | none | 0 |\n| Read-only variant documented | yes | no |\n| llms.txt | no | yes |\n| Last release | 2026-11-02 | 2026-10-20 |\n| Terms last updated | no date given | no document linked |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no date given | no date given |\n| Customer content may train models | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Terms restrict automated access | yes | not read yet |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | yes | not read yet |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | yes | not read yet |\n| Popularity | 55 stars | 91 stars |\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**KuCoin.** KuCoin publishes pooled rate limits with remaining and reset headers, scoped keys where withdrawals and transfers need an IP allow-list, an official SDK in five languages and read-only agent skills. It runs no MCP server, has no sandbox, status page or OpenAPI file, and its terms name no legal entity.\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### KuCoin\n\n1. Mint a key with General only for research; add Spot or Futures only with an IP allow-list, since unbound trading keys are disabled after 30 days of inactivity\n2. Send a UUID clientOid on every order and keep it for the retry, and read the order back by clientOid before placing again\n3. Budget requests by weight against gw-ratelimit-remaining and sleep for gw-ratelimit-reset milliseconds on 429000; sub-accounts share the pool\n4. There is no sandbox, so rehearse with the smallest order size on a dedicated sub-account\n5. Use the UTA V2 endpoints and hosts; the Classic API loses endpoints without notice, as the margin credit endpoints did on 21 October 2026\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, KuCoin or Upbit Open API?\n\nUpbit Open API and KuCoin score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 54.7 (C) and 53.9 (D).
