Bitfinex Real-Time Market Data

What We Provide

Bitfinex uses a compact array format instead of JSON objects for bandwidth efficiency, and employs a smart colon delimiter for longer symbol names. Our parser handles both formats transparently.

• Precision-level (P0-P4) order book channels
• 250-level raw order book depth
• Array-format WebSocket messages for bandwidth efficiency
• Funding and margin instrument data
• Smart colon symbol format handling (tBTC:USD for longer symbols)

Trading pairs: 400+ trading pairs with USD, UST, and BTC quotes

Protocol: WebSocket v2 with book channel and precision-level subscriptions

Quick Start — Bitfinex via WebSocket

Connect to our unified API and subscribe to Bitfinex data with three lines of code:

// Connect to Microverse Systems API
const ws = new WebSocket("wss://api.microversesystems.com");

// Subscribe to Bitfinex BTC order book
ws.send(JSON.stringify({
  "op": "subscribe",
  "channel": "bitfinex:BTC-USDT",
  "depth": 20
}));

// Receive real-time L2 updates
ws.onmessage = (e) => {
  const book = JSON.parse(e.data);
  console.log(book.bids[0], book.asks[0]); // best bid/ask
};
