# Gate.io Futures WebSocket v4

    Gate.io provides a simple and robust Websocket API to integrate gate.io BTC/USDT futures contract trade status into your business or application.

    We have language bindings in Python, more in the future! You can view code examples in the dark area to the right, and you can switch the programming language of the examples with the tabs in the top right.

    # Server URL

    We provide BTC/USDT futures contract trade server urls, you can choose one of them according to your condition.

    # BTC Contract

    Base URLs:

    • Real Trading: wss://fx-ws.gateio.ws/v4/ws/btc

    • TestNet Trading: wss://fx-ws-testnet.gateio.ws/v4/ws/btc

    # USDT Contract

    Base URLs:

    • Real Trading: wss://fx-ws.gateio.ws/v4/ws/usdt

    • TestNet: wss://fx-ws-testnet.gateio.ws/v4/ws/usdt

    WARNING

    If you use old server urls(wss://fx-ws.gateio.ws/v4/ws or wss://fx-ws-testnet.gateio.ws/v4/ws), we will use BTC contract for you.

    # API Overview

    # Method

    Each general api (such as ticker, order book etc.) supports 4 different event messages, they are:

    1. subscribe (RECOMMENDED TO USE)

      Subscribe to receive notification from server when new data is available.

    2. unsubscribe

      Server will not send new data notification if unsubscribed.

    3. update

      If new subscribed data(incremental data) is available, server will send a notification to client.

    4. all

      If new subscribed data(all data) is available, server will send a notification to client.

    # Request

    Each request follows a common format, which contains time, channel, event and payload.

    parameter type required description
    time Integer Yes request time
    channel String Yes request subscribe/unsubscribe channel
    auth String no request auth info, see Authentication section for details
    event String Yes request event (subscribe/unsubscribe/update/all)
    payload Array Yes request detail parameters

    # Response

    Similar with request, response follows a common format composed of time, channel, event , error and result.

    field type required description
    time Integer Yes response time
    channel String Yes response channel
    event String Yes response channel event (update/all)
    error Object Yes response channel event (update/all)
    result Array Yes response detail parameters

    # Error

    In case of error, you receive a message containing the proper error code and message within an error object.

    Code Message
    1 invalid argument struct
    2 invalid argument
    3 service error

    # Authentication

    Request body needs to carry authentication information if channels are private, e.g. futures.usertrades

    WebSocket authentication uses the same signature calculation method with HTTP API, but has the following differences:

    1. Signature string concatenation method: channel=<channel>&event=<event>&time=<time>, where <channel>, <event>, <time> are corresponding request information
    2. Authentication information are sent in request body in field auth.
    # example WebSocket signature calculation implementation in Python
    import hmac, hashlib, time
    
    ## api_key method generate secret
    secret = 'xxxx'
    message = 'channel=%s&event=%s&time=%s' % ('futures.orders', 'subscribe', int(time.time()))
    print(hmac.new(secret, message, hashlib.sha512).hexdigest())  ## Generating signature
    

    You can log into the console to retrieve futures API key and secret.

    field type description
    method String allowed value: api_key
    KEY String user key string
    SIGN String user sign string

    # System API

    Provides system status check, such as ping-pong.

    # Ping and Pong

    Check Server/Client connectivity.

    gate.io futures contract use the protocol layer ping/pong message.The server will initiate a ping message actively. If the client does not reply, the client will be disconnected.

    websocket rfc (opens new window)

    if you want to actively detect the connection status, you can send application layer ping message and receive pong message.

    from websocket import create_connection
    
    ws = create_connection("wss://fx-ws-testnet.gateio.ws/v4/ws/btc")
    ws.send('{"time" : 123456, "channel" : "futures.ping"}')
    print(ws.recv())
    

    The above command returns JSON structured like this:

    {
      "time": 1545404023,
      "channel": "futures.pong",
      "event": "",
      "error": null,
      "result": null
    }
    

    # Request

    • channel

      futures.ping

    # Tickers API

    The ticker is a high level overview of the state of the contract. It shows you the highest, lowest, last trade price. It also includes information such as daily volume and how much the price has moved over the last day.

    # Tickers subscription

    from websocket import create_connection
    
    ws = create_connection("wss://fx-ws-testnet.gateio.ws/v4/ws/btc")
    ws.send(
        '{"time" : 123456, "channel" : "futures.tickers", "event": "subscribe", "payload" : ["BTC_USD"]}')
    print(ws.recv())
    

    The above command returns JSON structured like this:

      "time": 1545404023,
      "channel": "futures.tickers",

    # Order Book API

    The order_book channel allow you to keep track of the state of the gate.io order book depth. It is provided on a price aggregated basis, with customizable precision.

    There are three different order book channels for subscription:

    • futures.order_book

      Legacy channel, which uses all to push full limited-level order book, and update to send every order book change event.

    • futures.book_ticker

      Push best bid and ask in real-time.

    • futures.order_book_update

      Push order book change with user-specified update frequency.

    WARNING

    Receiving order book update through futures.order_book is not recommended to use. futures.order_book_update can provide more timely update with less traffic

    How to maintain local order book:

    1. Subscribe futures.order_book_update with specified level and update frequency, e.g. ["BTC_USDT", "1000ms", "10"] pushes the first 10 levels' update in BTC_USDT order book every 1s
    2. Cache WebSocket notifications. Every notification use U and u to tell the first and last update ID since last notification.
    3. Retrieve base order book using REST API, and make sure the order book ID is recorded(referred as baseID below) e.g. https://api.gateio.ws/api/v4/futures/usdt/order_book?contract=BTC_USDT&limit=10&with_id=true retrieves the 10-level base order book of BTC_USDT
    4. Iterate the cached WebSocket notifications, and find the first one which contains the baseID, i.e. U <= baseId+1 and u >= baseId+1, then start consuming from it. Note that sizes in notifications are all absolute values. Use them to replace original sizes in corresponding price. If size equals to 0, delete the price from the order book.
    5. Dump all notifications which satisfy u < baseID+1. If baseID+1 < first notification U, it means current base order book falls behind notifications. Start from step 3 to retrieve newer base order book.
    6. If any subsequent notification which satisfy U > baseID+1 is found, it means some updates are lost. Reconstruct local order book from step 3.
