API

Cryptocurrency exchange API for spot trading and market data

Overview

Huobi Spot API provides RESTful endpoints for cryptocurrency spot trading and market data. It supports fetching real-time tickers, order book depth, historical trades, managing user accounts (balances, open orders), and executing spot trades (place/cancel limit/market orders). Responses are in JSON format. Use cases include building automated trading bots, integrating portfolio tracking tools, conducting market analysis, and developing third-party apps leveraging Huobi’s exchange data. The documentation covers authentication (API key/secret), rate limits, and endpoint specs for developers.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

fetch('https://huobiapi.github.io/docs/spot/v1/en/')
