Poloniex reveals new API feature

Check out the latest tweet coming from the crypto exchange:

Check out what the official notes said in the blog post that the crypto exchange shared.

“Poloniex provides both HTTP and websocket APIs for interacting with the exchange. Both allow read access to public market data and private read access to your account. Private write access to your account is available via the private HTTP API.”

The same blog post notes the following:

“The public HTTP endpoints are accessed via GET requests while the private endpoints are accessed via HMAC-SHA256 signed POST requests using API keys. Both types of HTTP endpoints return results in JSON format.”

According to the very same report, it seems that the websocket API allows push notifications about public market data and your private account.

“Similarly to the HTTP API, it requires HMAC-SHA256 signed requests using API keys for requests related to your private account.”

Poloniex also said that they are offerring SDKs in various languages. It’s also worth noting that this can be used to access both HTTP and Websockets endpoints.
