Futures API Introduction

危险

Poloniex Futures v2 API It will gradually go offline later, and you can access the V3 API to provide you with a better trading experience.

Poloniex Futures provides both REST APIs and Websocket Feeds for interacting with our futures exchange. Both allow read access to public market data and private read access to your account. Private write access to your account is available via the private REST API. This documentation provides a detailed explanation of transaction functions and how to get market data from Poloniex Futures.

Our documentation is divided into two parts: 1) REST API and 2) Websocket Feed.

  • The REST API part contains three sections: User (private) , Trade (private) and Market Data (public).
  • The Websocket Feed part contains two sections: Public Channels and Private Channels.

To get started with your Poloniex Futures API please create an API key within your account Settings, https://poloniex.com/profile/settings/futures-api-key.

Minimize Latency​

If you will be performing high-frequency trading, you may wish to locate your bots as close to our servers as possible. As Poloniex Futures uses Cloudflare for all requests, you can minimize network latency by positioning your client near the Cloudflare gateway in Tokyo, Japan. You can identify which Cloudflare gateway your client is accessing by running this command on the same machine as your bot:

curl -s https://www.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace

Cloudflare's Tokyo data center will return a "colo" field of "NRT". If you get a different "colo" value, you can look up the location at https://www.cloudflarestatus.com.
