BEST PRACTICES

The HitBTC API development team strives to bring the best trading experience for our API users. Here is a set of best practices of using the API as efficiently as possible.

HTTP Persistent Connection

It keeps the underlying TCP connection active for multiple requests/responses. Subsequent requests will result in reduced latency as the TCP handshaking process is no longer required.

If you are using an HTTP 1.0 client, please ensure it supports the keep-alive directive and submit the header Connection: Keep-Alive with your request.

Keep-Alive is a part of the protocol in HTTP 1.1 and enabled by default on compliant clients. However, you will have to ensure your implementation does not set the connection header to other values.

Retrieving and updating account state

Use Streaming API for real time updates of your orders and trades and any transactions changes.

Socket API Reference

Use JSON-RPC 2.0 over WebSocket connection as transport.

Request object

A rpc call is represented by sending a Request object to a Server.

The Request object has the following members:

  • method - A String containing the name of the method to be invoked.
  • params - A Structured value that holds the parameter values to be used during the invocation of the method.
  • id - An identifier established by the Client that MUST contain a String, Number, or NULL value if included. If it is not included it is assumed to be a notification. The value SHOULD normally not be Null.

Notification

A Notification is a Request object without an "id" member. A Request object that is a Notification signifies the Client's lack of interest in the corresponding Response object, and as such no Response object needs to be returned to the client.

The Notification object has the following members:

  • method - A String containing the name of the method to be invoked.
  • params - A Structured value that holds the parameter values to be used during the invocation of the method.

Response object

When a rpc call is made, the Server MUST reply with a Response, except for in the case of Notifications.

The Response is expressed as a single JSON Object, with the following members:

  • result - This member is REQUIRED on success. This member MUST NOT exist if there was an error invoking the method. The value of this member is determined by the method invoked on the Server.
  • error - This member is REQUIRED on error. This member MUST NOT exist if there was no error triggered during invocation. The value for this member MUST be an Object as defined in section Error response

The parameters of requests, responses, and errors correspond to REST, but usage flow differ. First you should subscribe for interested data. Then server send full snapshot of data, after that server send update notification.
