Spot Websockets Authentication

Retrieving Authentication Token from REST​

For the websockets API, the client must retrieve an authentication token via the REST endpoint GetWebSocketsToken.

This token can be used as the token parameter in the message body for all authenticated websockets endpoints for the duration of the websockets connection.

{
  "event": "subscribe",
  "subscription":
  {
    "name": "ownTrades",
    "token": "WW91ciBhdXRoZW50aWNhdGlvbiB0b2tlbiBnb2VzIGhlcmUu"
  }
}
caution

The websockets token should be used within 15 minutes of creation.
