Mexc
MEXC publishes its actual API reference on a separate GitHub Pages developer site rather than the old mexc.com/api-docs marketing page, covering spot and futures REST endpoints plus WebSocket streams for depth, trades, and klines. Market-data endpoints are open to anyone, while order placement, cancellation, and account queries require an API key with HMAC-SHA256-signed requests.
