Programmatic access to 750+ [trading pairs](/concepts/markets) 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](/concepts/order-types))
* **Bulk orders** — Place up to 20 limit orders in a single API call ([endpoint](/api-reference/spot-trading/bulk-limit-order))
* **Kill-switch** — Emergency mechanism to cancel all active orders after a configurable timeout ([sync timer](/api-reference/spot-trading/sync-kill-switch-timer), [status](/api-reference/spot-trading/status-kill-switch-timer))
* **Order modification** — Modify existing orders in-place without canceling and recreating ([endpoint](/api-reference/spot-trading/modify-order))
* **Client Order ID** — Attach custom identifiers for order tracking and reconciliation
* **Self-Trade Prevention** — Prevent accidental self-crossing when quoting both sides ([details](/platform/self-trade-prevention))

## 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](/guides/broker-guide) (40% of the trading fee generated by referred users)
* **Market makers** — Liquidity provision through the [Market-Making Program](/guides/market-maker-guide) (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](/guides/websocket-quickstart) for real-time price data. Set the [kill-switch](/api-reference/spot-trading/sync-kill-switch-timer) 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](/api-reference/spot-trading/bulk-limit-order) (up to 20 per call) alongside the real-time orderbook [depth WebSocket channel](/guides/websocket-quickstart). The [Market-Making Program](/guides/market-maker-guide) offers maker fee rebates up to -0.012% for qualifying volume (\$100M+/30 days). Pair with [colocation](/platform/colocation) for low-latency execution (3–5 ms) and [sub-accounts](/products/sub-accounts/overview) to run market-making and directional strategies on independent balances with separate API keys. Enable [Self-Trade Prevention](/platform/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](/platform/colocation) (3–5 ms latency) for execution speed. Market orders provide immediate fills at best available price.

## Fee Structure

|                                   | Maker   | Taker  |
| --------------------------------- | ------- | ------ |
| Base rate                         | 0.1%    | 0.1%   |
| VIP (best tier)                   | -0.001% | 0.03%  |
| Market-Making Program (best tier) | -0.012% | 0.020% |

* **Order management** — Create, modify, cancel orders; bulk operations (9 endpoints)
* **Order queries** — Active orders, executed history, execution deals, order history (4 endpoints)
* **Market fees** — Per-market and all-market fee queries (2 endpoints)
* **Kill-switch** — Sync timer, status (2 endpoints)
