Gateio

API

Cryptocurrency trading API for spot, margin, and futures operations

Overview

The Gateio API provides REST and WebSocket endpoints for spot, margin, and futures trading. Responses are in JSON format. Key endpoints include order management (create/cancel/list), market data (tickers, order books, trade history), account balance checks, and leverage adjustments for margin/futures. Use cases include building automated trading bots, integrating trading features into apps, monitoring real-time market trends, and managing crypto portfolios programmatically. Authentication via API keys is required for private operations like order placement.

script.js JS


fetch('https://www.gate.io/api2')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
