Bybit

API

Cryptocurrency data feed & algorithmic trading API

Overview

Bybit API offers RESTful and WebSocket endpoints for real-time market data (tickers, order books, trades), account management, and algorithmic trading (order placement, position tracking). Responses are JSON-formatted. Use cases include building trading bots, portfolio trackers, market analysis tools, and automated strategies for spot and derivatives markets. Authenticated endpoints require API keys for trading operations, while public data is accessible without auth.
