WebSocket

General

Websocket is a new HTML5 Protocol. It achieves full-duplex data transmission between the client and the server, allowing data to be transferred effectively in both directions. With just only one handshake, the connection between the client and the server is established. The server will then be able to push data to the client according to preset rules. Its advantages include:

• The WebSocket request header for data transmission between client and server is approximately 2 bytes only

• Either the client or server can initiate a data transmission

• As there is no need to create and delete TCP connection repeatedly, it saves resources for both bandwidth and server

We strongly recommend developers to use WebSocket API to retrieve market data and order book depth.

Ws information

• url: wss://wspool.hiotc.pro/kline-api/ws

• The returned data will be binary compressed except the heartbeat data (the user needs to decompress through Gzip algorithm)

Command Format

event	channel	description
sub	market_$symbol_depth_step0	Subscribe depth
unsub	market_$symbol_depth_step0	Unsubscribe depth
sub	market_$symbol_trade_ticker	Subscribe to real-time trade
unsub	market_$symbol_trade_ticker	Unsubscribe real-time trade
sub	market_$symbol_ticker	Subscribe to 24h market data
unsub	market_$symbol_ticker	Unsubscribe 24h market data
sub	market_$symbol_kline_1min	Subscribe to 1min k-line information
req	market_$symbol_kline_1month	Request 1 month historical bar record

Heartbeat

Every once in a while, the server will send a PING message. The client needs to reply to the PONG message, otherwise the server will close the connection.
