Bitget order

messageorderBitget WebSocket APIWebSocketPrivate channels

The orders of the unified trading account. Bitget says nothing is pushed on first subscribing, and that a push follows when a spot, margin or futures order is placed, filled or cancelled.

Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.

This is a subscription of the Bitget WebSocket API, not an HTTP endpoint. It has no method and no path: it is sent as JSON over an open WebSocket connection.

The message

Name: order
Direction: Subscription, opened by the client and then fed by the server
Subscribed to as: order
Carried by: WebSocket. This channel is in the private section of Bitget's WebSocket documentation, so the connection has to send login first. The addresses are the ones on Bitget's quick start page (bitget.com/docs/uta/quick-start), opened the same day, which also lists VIP and low latency hosts.
Private channel: wss://ws.bitget.com/v3/ws/private
