What Kaiko (BYOK) is for

Kaiko (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own Kaiko data through the Kaiko API with a key you supply (Kaiko API key). Read-only: 7 tools (get_ohlcv_vwap, list_trades, get_market_depth, get_price_slippage, get_pair_price, get_principal_market_value, list_liquidations). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to us.market-api.kaiko.io. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Kaiko. Kaiko and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "What were the daily BTC-USD candles on Coinbase last week?"
• "What were the latest BTC-USD trades on Bitfinex?"
• "How deep is the BTC-USD order book on Kraken?"
• "What slippage would a 100,000 USD BTC buy see on Kraken?"
• "What is the Kaiko BTC to ETH price per minute?"
• "What is the principal market value of BTC for financial reporting?"

What it does

• get_ohlcv_vwap: Get OHLCV, trade count and volume weighted price candles for one instrument on one exchange over a window and interval.
• list_trades: List individual trades (tick level) for one instrument on one exchange with time, price, amount and taker side.
• get_market_depth: Get order book depth snapshots for one instrument on one exchange: volume of bids and asks within given percentages of the best price.
• get_price_slippage: Get order book snapshots with the percentage slippage a market buy or sell of a given size (in quote asset) would suffer.
• get_pair_price: Get Kaiko's robust weighted median price for a base and quote asset pair across exchanges at a chosen interval.
• get_principal_market_value: Get the principal market value price in USD of a crypto asset (for US-GAAP and IFRS fair value reporting) with the principal market and two week average volume.
• list_liquidations: List derivative liquidation events (futures and perpetuals) for one instrument on one exchange with size, price, rate and position side.

BYOK key

You bring your own Kaiko Kaiko API key (https://www.kaiko.com/pages/contact-us). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to us.market-api.kaiko.io over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

Kaiko (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Kaiko (BYOK) is. Kaiko (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own Kaiko data: Read Kaiko crypto market data: OHLCV candles, trades, order book depth and slippage, pair prices and liquidations with your own API key. You bring your own Kaiko Kaiko API key; the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one Kaiko call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to us.market-api.kaiko.io, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If Kaiko rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What Kaiko receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under Kaiko's own terms and privacy policy. Kaiko acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer Kaiko gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your Kaiko data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. Kaiko (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at Kaiko at any time to end all access.

Children. Kaiko (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under Kaiko's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
