How to use WebSocket API

ProBit Global WebSocket API communicates in JSON string.
Each single request messege should contain single valid JSON string.

WebSocket API entry point is wss://api.probit.com/api/exchange/v1/ws.

📘

In case of Demo API: wss://demo-api.probit.com/api/exchange/v1/ws

🚧

Each key and string value of JSON string should be double-quoted("") and should not contain any line breaks.

import websocket from 'websocket';

const ws = new websocket.w3cwebsocket('wss://api.probit.com/api/exchange/v1/ws');

ws.onopen = () => {
  const msg = {
    type: 'subscribe',
    channel: 'marketdata',
    interval: 500,
    market_id: 'BTC-USDT',
    filter: ['ticker', 'order_books']
  };
  ws.send(JSON.stringify(msg));
};

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  console.log(event.data);
};

Channels

ProBit Global WebSocket API provides channels to subscribe.
You may subscribe multiple channels simultaneously which are listed below.

• marketdata
• exchange_rate
• open_order (Authorization required)
• trade_history (Authorization required)
• order_history (Authorization required)

{"type":"subscribe","channel":"marketdata","market_id":"ETH-BTC","interval":100,"filter":["ticker","order_books_l0"]}
{"type":"subscribe","channel":"exchange_rate","filter":["BTC"]}
{"type":"unsubscribe","channel":"marketdata","market_id":"ETH-BTC"}
{"type":"unsubscribe","channel":"exchange_rate"}
