The TradeWatch REST API is organized around REST. It features predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts form-encoded request bodies, returns JSON responses, and utilizes standard HTTP response codes and verbs.

​
Getting Started

To begin integrating with TradeWatch, we recommend the following workflow:
  1. Choose your API Type: If your application requires real-time streaming data rather than one-off snapshots, consider using our WebSocket API. You can compare the differences in our API Types guide.
  2. Authentication: All requests require an API Key. Follow our Authentication guide to retrieve and implement your credentials.
  3. Explore SDKs: Speed up your development using our official libraries. Check the SDKs Introduction for supported languages like Python, JavaScript, and more.
