  1. CLI

Getting Started

The Fusion CLI (bp-fusion) lets you interact with the Bitpanda Fusion API directly from the terminal. You can query market data, manage orders, and inspect your account — no browser required.

Prerequisites#

Before installing the CLI, you need:
A supported operating system: macOS, Linux, or Windows
A Bitpanda Fusion API key
Create API key in your Bitpanda account under Account settings → API Keys → Fusion and assign the scopes required by your integration:
Read for market data, balances, account information, and trade history
Trade for placing and cancelling orders
See the API key generation guide for step-by-step instructions.

Installation#

Homebrew (macOS / Linux)#

Via Go#

From source#

make install builds the binary and copies it to /usr/local/bin/bp-fusion.

Pre-built binaries#

Download the latest binary for your platform from the releases page.
Verify the installation:

Authentication#

bp-fusion supports three ways to provide your API key, in priority order:

Config file setup (recommended)#

Edit ~/.config/fusion/config.yaml:
Tip: bp-fusion will warn on stderr if the config file has permissions more permissive than 0600.

Your first command#

Once authenticated, try fetching live ticker data for BTC-EUR:

command not found: bp-fusion: Ensure the binary is on your PATH. Run which bp-fusion (macOS/Linux) or where bp-fusion (Windows) to confirm.
Unexpected API errors: Run with --debug to print the full request and response: bp-fusion --debug orders list.
