V3 Open API Supports USDT-margined Perpetual Swap Trading

Dear valued customers,

We will launch USDT-margined perpetual swap trading service soon. To support simulation and live trading, our upgraded perpetual swap trading API is expected to be released at 07:00 Nov 25, 2019 (UTC). API documentation will be also updated correspondingly. We will update the time of opening simulation and live trading in a further announcement.

(Note: This announcement only extends to API users, and V1 Open API does not support USDT-margined perpetual swap trading.)

1.Involved Endpoint:

a. Public - obtain contract information: GET /api/swap/v3/instruments - - - - returning necessary strings with the response

After the upgrade, your program will remain unaffected, but new strings will be added to the existing API. Thank you for your understanding.

The V3 API offers more stable, efficient experience and more comprehensive functionalities than the V1 API. As V1 Restful API will be terminated as scheduled soon, we suggest you switch to V3 API for trading. (API documentation: https://www.OKX.com/docs/en/) If you have any questions on migration or suggestions on API, please reach out to us on Telegram at http://t.me/OKXAPI.

Thank you for your continued support and we assure you of our best services at all times.

Regards,

OKX
