Common Integration Patterns
Price feeds — Poll the ticker endpoint for periodic price updates or subscribe to thelastprice WebSocket channel for real-time streaming. The ticker endpoint returns 24-hour volume, last price, and percentage change.
Orderbook analysis — Fetch depth snapshots via REST for point-in-time analysis or subscribe to the depth WebSocket channel for real-time updates. The depth endpoint accepts a limit parameter (1–100) to control response size.
Pre-trade checks — Before placing orders, fetch market details to verify minimum order amounts, tick sizes, market status (active/disabled), and asset deposit/withdrawal availability.
