Global Orderbook Module API

The Orderbook API provides real-time orderbook aggregation across multiple exchanges (Binance, Bybit, Gate.io, Kraken). It streams public orderbook data via WebSocket and provides quality metrics for each venue.

Key Features

Multi-venue aggregation: Subscribe to orderbooks across multiple exchanges simultaneously
Quality metrics: Staleness, spread, depth, and confidence scoring per venue
Global best prices: Find the best bid/ask across all venues
Ref-counting subscriptions: Efficient resource management with warm cache
Public market data: Orderbook data is not account-specific. REST endpoints still require authentication at the API gateway; the WebSocket stream does not.

Subscribe to orderbook updates for one or more symbols on one or more venues.

Request Body (JSON)

symbols (array, required): List of trading pairs in CCXT format (e.g., ["BTC/USDT", "ETH/USDT"])
venues (array, required): List of exchange venues: "binance", "bybit", "gateio", "kraken"

Request Example

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

Confidence Scoring

Confidence starts at 1.0 and is reduced by:

Staleness: Up to -0.4 (linear to 5000ms)
Wide spread: Up to -0.2 (linear from 1bps to 20bps)
Sequence gaps: -0.05 per gap, max -0.3

Supported Venues

Venue	Update Rate	Notes
Bybit	~28/sec	Highest update rate, excellent for HFT
Kraken	~15/sec	Good update rate, reliable
Binance	~9/sec	Standard rate, tightest spreads
Gate.io	~8/sec	Good depth, slightly slower

Typical Use Cases

1. Smart Order Routing (SOR)

# Subscribe to all venues
curl -X POST https://api.renesis.fi/order-execution/orderbook/subscribe \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"symbols": ["BTC/USDT"], "venues": ["binance", "bybit", "gateio", "kraken"]}'

# Get global view to find best prices
curl "https://api.renesis.fi/order-execution/orderbook/book?symbol=BTC/USDT" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY"

# Check quality before routing
curl "https://api.renesis.fi/order-execution/orderbook/quality?symbol=BTC/USDT" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY"

2. Arbitrage Detection

# Get global view - negative spread = arb opportunity
curl "https://api.renesis.fi/order-execution/orderbook/book?symbol=BTC/USDT" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY"
# Response: best_bid on gateio > best_ask on bybit = buy bybit, sell gateio

3. Execution Quality Monitoring

# Monitor update rates and staleness
curl "https://api.renesis.fi/order-execution/orderbook/quality?symbol=BTC/USDT" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY"
# Use venues with confidence >= 0.4 and staleness < 2000ms

Python Example

import socketio

sio = socketio.Client()

@sio.on('orderbook_update')
def on_update(data):
    print(data['venue'], len(data['bids']), 'levels')
    print('Best bid:', data['bids'][0])
    print('Best ask:', data['asks'][0])

@sio.on('global_book')
def on_global(data):
    print('Global best bid:', data['data']['best_bid'])

sio.connect(
    'https://api.renesis.fi',
    socketio_path='/order-execution/socket.io',
    transports=['websocket']
)
sio.emit('subscribe_orderbook', {
    'symbol': 'BTC/USDT',
    'venues': ['binance', 'bybit', 'gateio'],
    'depth': 10

sio.wait()

Performance

Update rate: 10-20 updates/sec per symbol
Latency: Under 100ms from exchange to client
Broadcast interval: 100ms (sends only changed data)
Recommended depth: 5-10 for most use cases, 20 for detailed analysis
