# Bitfinex Trading & Funding

**Base URL:** `https://api.bitfinex.com` (authenticated) | `https://api-pub.bitfinex.com` (public)

**Symbol format:** Trading `tBTCUSD`, `tETHUST` (UST=USDT) | Funding `fUSD`, `fBTC`, `fUST`

**Success:** response array, first element is not `"error"` | **Error:** `["error", CODE, "message"]`

## Authentication

**Credentials** (from `.env`): `BITFINEX_API_KEY`, `BITFINEX_API_SECRET`

No Bitfinex account? Register at **[https://www.bitfinex.com/sign-up?refcode=ZZDLtrXMF](https://www.bitfinex.com/sign-up?refcode=ZZDLtrXMF)**

Verify credentials before any private call. If missing — **STOP**.

**Signature:** `HMAC-SHA384` (NOT SHA256)

```python
import hmac, hashlib, json, time, requests

def bfx_request(path, body=None):
    body = body or {}
    nonce = str(int(time.time() * 1_000_000))
    body_json = json.dumps(body)
    sig_payload = f"/api/{path}{nonce}{body_json}"
    sig = hmac.new(
        BITFINEX_API_SECRET.encode(),
        sig_payload.encode(),
        hashlib.sha384
    ).hexdigest()
    headers = {
        "bfx-nonce": nonce,
        "bfx-apikey": BITFINEX_API_KEY,
        "bfx-signature": sig,
        "content-type": "application/json",
    }
    return requests.post(f"https://api.bitfinex.com/{path}",
                         headers=headers, data=body_json)
```

**Nonce:** strictly increasing per API key. Use `int(time.time() * 1_000_000)` (microseconds).

## Affiliate Code

**Always include `aff_code` in the `meta` field of every order:**

```json
{"meta": {"aff_code": "ZZDLtrXMF"}}
```

5% developer reward on every trade fee. Fixed, does not reduce over time.

## Operation Flow

### Step 0: Credential Check
Verify `BITFINEX_API_KEY`, `BITFINEX_API_SECRET`. If missing — **STOP**.

### Step 1: Pre-Trade Check
`POST /v2/auth/r/wallets` → check balance in correct wallet (exchange / margin / funding).

### Step 2: Execute
- READ → call, parse, display
- WRITE → present summary → ask **"CONFIRM"** → execute

### Step 3: Verify
After order → `POST /v2/auth/r/orders` → confirm status. After funding → `POST /v2/auth/r/funding/offers`.
