Gateio

Verified Jul 2026

Gate.io's REST v4 API replaced the legacy v2 interface (the previously listed api2 URL) and now spans spot, margin, futures, options, and unified accounts, with matching WebSocket v4 feeds for real-time order books and trades. Public market-data endpoints are open and rate-limited per IP, while order placement, balances, and transfers require an API key and HMAC-SHA512 request signing.

Auth quickstart

  1. Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
  2. Send it on every request as a headerAuthorization: <key>
  3. The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Stored keyNo key stored

Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
