API Update – September 1st, 2018

Starting from September 1st, 2018, 00:00 UTC, Bitfinex will be implementing a series of changes to the way we manage WebSocket connections to our APIs.

As of September 1st, every WebSocket connection will have a limit of 50 subscriptions to market data feed channels (tickers, book, candles, trades, …). We kindly ask all users to adapt their application setup accordingly to split subscriptions to channels using multiple WebSocket connections.

As an example, if you subscribe to all tickers, books, candles, trades channels on a single WebSocket connection, you’ll receive error:10305 (docs.bitfinex.com/v2/docs/ws-general#section-error-codes) to notify the quota if the current WebSocket connection is full.

For users, this means handling multiple streams, or running multiple instances and spreading them over different pairs. Implementing this API change results in improved connections for API users, meaning quicker data feeds and optimised trading strategies.

For a full overview of the Bitfinex API documentation, refer to the following page: docs.bitfinex.com/docs. For issues, please contact support@bitfinex.com with [API Update September 2018] as the email subject.
