Programmatic access to 750+ trading pairs across 360+ crypto assets. The Spot Trading API supports 6 order types, bulk-limit orders (up to 20 orders per call), and a kill-switch that cancels all active orders after a configurable timeout.

​

Capabilities

• 6 order types — Market, Limit, Stop-Limit, Stop-Market, Stock-Market, Bulk-Limit (details)
• Bulk orders — Place up to 20 limit orders in a single API call (endpoint)
• Kill-switch — Emergency mechanism to cancel all active orders after a configurable timeout (sync timer, status)
• Order modification — Modify existing orders in-place without canceling and recreating (endpoint)
• Client Order ID — Attach custom identifiers for order tracking and reconciliation
• Self-Trade Prevention — Prevent accidental self-crossing when quoting both sides (details)

​

Who Uses This

• Trading firms — Automated execution across hundreds of pairs with bulk-limit orders, the kill-switch, and in-place order modification
• Fintechs — Embedded spot trading in consumer or business applications via the REST API
• Brokers — WhiteBIT liquidity offered to end users via the Broker Program (40% of the trading fee generated by referred users)
• Market makers — Liquidity provision through the Market-Making Program (maker rebates up to -0.012% for qualifying volume above $100M/30 days)

​

Common Integration Patterns

Trading automation — Combine the REST API for order placement with WebSocket for real-time price data. Set the kill-switch timer so all active orders cancel automatically if the bot stops sending heartbeats. Existing integrations include Bitsgap and TradingView. Market making — Use bulk limit orders (up to 20 per call) alongside the real-time orderbook depth WebSocket channel. The Market-Making Program offers maker fee rebates up to -0.012% for qualifying volume ($100M+/30 days). Pair with colocation for low-latency execution (3–5 ms) and sub-accounts to run market-making and directional strategies on independent balances with separate API keys. Enable Self-Trade Prevention to avoid accidental self-crossing. Multi-exchange arbitrage — Subscribe to the lastprice WebSocket channel for real-time price monitoring across pairs. Use colocation (3–5 ms latency) for execution speed. Market orders provide immediate fills at best available price.
