Bitcoin exchange flows API for inflows, outflows and net flow

Exchange flows measure how much bitcoin moves into and out of exchange wallets over a window of time. Inflows are coins arriving at exchange-labeled addresses, outflows are coins leaving them, and net flow is the difference. The Bitcoin exchange flows API computes these from the fully-indexed chain: BitcoinDatabase labels the addresses that cluster to known exchanges, then sums the confirmed value crossing that boundary so you get inflow, outflow and net flow without reconstructing it yourself.

Pull the numbers over REST for a dashboard, or run SQL to slice net flow by exchange, by day, or against a price series you join in. Because the labels and the raw transactions live on the same indexed chain, you can drill from an aggregate straight down to the individual transactions behind it. This is informational on-chain data and analytics for research and monitoring, not a trading signal and not investment advice.

Why it works

What you get with exchange flows

Inflow, outflow and net

Get coins arriving at exchange wallets, coins leaving them, and the net of the two for any window, all computed from confirmed transactions crossing labeled exchange boundaries on the indexed chain.

Drill to the transactions

An aggregate is only useful if you can check it. Every flow number traces back to the individual labeled transactions behind it, so you can verify, audit or investigate a spike rather than trust a black box.

Join flows to anything

Because flows, entity labels and raw transactions share one schema, in SQL you can group net flow by exchange, roll it up by day, or join it against historical market data you already query here.

What it handles

The indexed Bitcoin chain, queryable your way

Look up an address, a transaction, a UTXO, the rich list or an on-chain metric, by REST API, SQL or dashboard. The same authoritative data, reconciled block-by-block against the canonical chain, without running a node.

Compute inflow, outflow and net flow by window
Break flows down by individual exchange
Trace any aggregate to its underlying transactions
Join net flow against historical market data
Feed flow metrics into research dashboards

Why BitcoinDatabase

One platform, queryable three ways

Not a raw node to sync, not an indexer to build, and not five vendors to stitch together. The fully-indexed Bitcoin blockchain, available as a REST API, as SQL, and as dashboards, on one authoritative dataset.

REST API

Typed JSON for addresses, transactions, balances, UTXOs and metrics. Drop it into apps, wallets, explorers and agents with curl, Python or our SDKs.

SQL access

Run SQL directly against the indexed Bitcoin dataset for ad-hoc analysis, cohorts and exports, the same data the API and dashboards read from.

Compliance-first

Informational on-chain data and analytics only. Entity labels and flow tracing are framed as tooling to support a regulated team's own review, not accusations.

Good questions

Questions about exchange flows

Exchange flows measure bitcoin moving between the open chain and exchange wallets: inflow is value arriving at exchange-labeled addresses, outflow is value leaving them, and net flow is inflow minus outflow. BitcoinDatabase computes them from labeled addresses on the fully-indexed chain.

No. Exchange net flow is an informational on-chain metric that describes how coins are moving relative to exchange wallets. BitcoinDatabase provides the data and analytics only; it is not a trading signal, financial advice or a guarantee of any market outcome.
