Who Uses This

  • Trading firms — Automated execution across hundreds of pairs with bulk orders, kill-switch safety, and order modification
  • Fintechs — Embedded spot trading in consumer or business applications via the REST API
  • Brokers — WhiteBIT liquidity offered to end users via the Broker Program (40% of the trading fee generated by referred users)

​
Common Integration Patterns

Trading automation — Combine the REST API for order placement with WebSocket for real-time price data. Use the kill-switch as a safety mechanism for unattended bots. Existing integrations include Bitsgap and TradingView. Market making — Use bulk limit orders (up to 20 per call) alongside the real-time orderbook depth WebSocket channel. The Market-Making Program offers maker fee rebates up to -0.012% for qualifying volume ($100M+/30 days). Pair with colocation for low-latency execution (3–5 ms) and sub-accounts for strategy separation. Enable Self-Trade Prevention to avoid accidental self-crossing. Multi-exchange arbitrage — Subscribe to the lastprice WebSocket channel for real-time price monitoring across pairs. Use colocation (3–5 ms latency) for execution speed. Market orders provide immediate fills at best available price.
