Tickers

The fastest way to get new tickers is to subscribe to our WebSockets. You can request tickers through our get market details endpoints too, but they will only update once a minute. With our WebSockets you can establish a persistent connection through which new tickers are pushed, so you get the latest ticker data whenever they are calculated.

Authentication

The WebSocket protocol does not support regular HTTP headers, so it is not possible to use the x-access-token header when opening a new WebSocket. Authenticate to our WebSockets connections using a query parameter:

wss://api.coinranking.com/v2/real-time/tickers?x-access-token=your-api-key

Subscribe to tickers

professional This endpoint requires the professional plan or higher
⚠️ Note: DEX data requires the Real-time DEX data add-on and is only available on the professional plan or higher

Establish a WebSocket connection to get ticker data in real-time. There are two ways to subscribe to tickers; directly establish a connection with subscriptions by using query parameters to select your subscriptions, or establish a connection and send a JSON message through the socket with the subscriptions you require.

Query parameters

You must choose only ONE of the following subscription parameters: market-uuids, exchange-uuids, currency-uuids, or list. You cannot mix different parameter types.

Parameter Description
market-uuids Array

Subscribe to specific market pairs. Provide a list of market UUIDs to get ticker data for specific trading pairs.

This allows you to get ticker data for specific market pairs across exchanges. You can find market UUIDs in our markets endpoint

Size range: 1-100

Example:
...real-time/tickers?market-uuids[]=dj23kKgETIie
exchange-uuids Array

Subscribe to all ticker data for specific exchanges. This will give you all ticker data available on the selected exchanges.

Provide a list of exchange UUIDs to make your selection. You can find exchange UUIDs in our exchanges endpoint

Size range: 1-100

Example:
...real-time/tickers?exchange-uuids[]=-zdvbieRdZ
currency-uuids Array

Subscribe to all ticker data for specific currencies across all exchanges. This will give you ticker data for the selected currencies from all available exchanges.

Provide a list of currency UUIDs to make your selection. You can find currency UUIDs in our reference currencies endpoint

Size range: 1-100

Example:
...real-time/tickers?currency-uuids[]=Qwsogvtv82FCd
list (optional) String

With the list parameter, you can subscribe to all ticker data. When set to all, you will receive ticker data for all market pairs from all exchanges. The default is to subscribe to none and filter using other UUID parameters.

You can choose between none (no list is selected and you can use the other UUIDs parameter to filter the list) or all (every ticker from all exchanges).

Default value: none
Allowed values:
none all

Example:
...real-time/tickers?list=all
throttle (optional) String

With the throttle parameter, you prevent getting overloaded with ticker data. This is useful if performance is an issue, e.g. when using WebSockets in your frontend and want to prevent straining your client's devices too much.

Throttling works per exchange-currency pair. If you select a throttle, this means ticker data for the same pair will not be pushed more than once within the specified duration.

Default value: 1s
Allowed values: 1s 10s

Example:
...real-time/tickers?throttle=10s

Response fields

When subscribed to tickers, you receive new ticker data whenever it is available. Each ticker includes the UUID of the market, exchange, base currency, and quote currency, which is especially useful when you are subscribed to multiple markets or exchanges. Tickers include the latest price, close price, and volume data, both in base and quote currencies, as well as in US dollars.

Unlike our market details endpoints, we do not support other reference currencies than US dollars with WebSockets. You can, however, subscribe to multiple markets and exchanges, which allows you to calculate them yourself.

PropertyDescription
marketUuid String

The market UUID of this ticker. Useful if you subscribed to multiple markets, in which case the UUID helps you determine which market the ticker belongs to.

baseUuid String

The base currency UUID of this ticker.

quoteUuid String
