Documentation Reference Links

The current API in use is API v1. This API are restful and support multiple apikeys with different permissions. The old API are still available (see old documentation here) and are now also replicated on API v0. We plan to dismiss the old API in september 2015, while retaining API v0 longer.

API v1

The current version in use for our API.

Use api.therocktrading.com as endpoint. Full documentation is available here.

API v0

These one mimics the first API available at therocktrading years ago, but use the api.therocktrading.com endpoint for better performances.

These API are old, so you should not use them anymore. Can still be useful if you have old trading bots that do not want to change soon, or if you plan to do basic stuffs.

These public API provides informations on trades and orderbook, via websockets.

Websocket feed provides realtime market data.
