# Market Data

> Real-time and historical market data across 900+ trading pairs — no authentication required.

Real-time and historical market data across 900+ trading pairs — no authentication required. The Market Data API provides prices, orderbooks, recent trades, asset statuses, and funding rates through 14 public GET endpoints.

## Capabilities

* **Server status** — Check platform availability before integrating (`GET /api/v4/public/ping`, `GET /api/v4/public/time`)
* **Market catalog** — Fetch all available spot and futures markets with minimum amounts, tick sizes, and statuses ([Markets & Trading Pairs](/concepts/markets))
* **Real-time pricing** — 24-hour ticker data for all pairs or individual markets
* **Orderbook depth** — Full or limited-depth orderbook snapshots for any market
* **Recent trades** — Latest executed trades per market
* **Asset statuses** — Deposit/withdrawal availability per currency, network, and chain
* **Funding rates** — Current and historical funding rates for perpetual futures markets

## Who Uses This

* **Developers evaluating the API** — Zero setup, no API key, no authentication. Start making calls immediately.
* **Trading bots and algorithms** — Market state checks, price feeds, orderbook analysis before placing orders
* **Analytics platforms** — Historical trade data, market statistics, asset network information
* **Price aggregators** — Ticker data across 900+ pairs for display and comparison

## Common Integration Patterns

**Price feeds** — Poll the ticker endpoint for periodic price updates or subscribe to the `lastprice` [WebSocket channel](/guides/websocket-quickstart) 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.
