Order Book (Real-time Tick-by-Tick, Market Depth) Subscription

English / 中文

Interface Description

This interface supports subscribing to the latest market depth (real-time tick-by-tick, Order Book) data for products, but does not support historical market depth or historical tick data.

Interface Features: For each WebSocket connection, sending this request will overwrite the previous subscription by default. For example, if you initially subscribed to products A, B, and C and want to add E, F, and G, you must resend A, B, C, E, F, and G. After successful subscription, data will be pushed.

Note:

1、After a successful subscription, avoid frequent requests. Send a heartbeat every 10 seconds; if no heartbeat is received in 30 seconds, the WebSocket will disconnect.

2、Implement automatic reconnection logic to handle network disconnections.

3、Maximum market depth limits for each product:

3.1 Inactive products may have less depth than listed.

3.2 One side of the depth may be empty, such as during limit up or down for stocks.
