The latest price of one symbol with its best bid and ask and its 24 hour figures. Bitget says updates are pushed every 200 ms while the market is changing.

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.

What arrives

ticker: A message with the event subscribe and the same arg confirms the subscription, with a connId for the connection. On an error the event is error, with a code and a msg. Data then arrives as below. Futures symbols carry further fields the page lists: indexPrice, markPrice, fundingRate, nextFundingTime, openInterest and, for delivery contracts, deliveryTime, deliveryStartTime and deliveryStatus.

The vendor's page does not say which of these fields are required or always present.
