Why use REST API?
REST API enables you to automate your trading by connecting your algo strategies with our deep liquidity.
Know the acronym
REST stands for "Representational State Transfer' and utilizes HTTP interactions to communicate between client and server in a user-friendly way.
Wide range of utility
REST API’s use of HTTP means it can work with any standard programming language to retrieve, send, update, and delete data.
Constantly learning
REST is cacheable, meaning the API can cache resources to improve future performance
Secure communication channels
REST features stateless client-server communications that ensure no information is being stored between interactions
