General Considerations

  • To establish a connection with the TradeWatch WebSocket API, TLS with Server Name Indication (SNI) is required.
  • Messages exchanged through WebSocket are encoded in JSON format. To maintain accuracy, all decimal fields, including timestamps, are presented in quotes.
  • It’s important to note that timestamps are not unique and should not be used as substitutes for IDs.
  • To ensure the client connection remains open, at least one item must be subscribed to.
  • For retrieving the list of pairs available for subscription via the WebSocket API, please refer to the REST API Available symbols methods.
  • The recommended reconnection behavior is to immediately attempt reconnection if the WebSocket connection drops unexpectedly.
