Futures quotes stream
/v1/ws/futures/quoteswsFuturesQuotesEvery change of the best bid and offer of a product or dated contract. The first event after subscribing is the current quote.
Connect and subscribe
Open wss://api.ordermap.si/v1/ws/futures/quotes?symbols=ES with your key in the Authorization header, then send a subscribe message. Up to 25 symbols per connection. One connection per account per stream; streams need API Pro. The protocol, limits and close codes are in WebSockets.
Node.js
import WebSocket from "ws";
const ws = new WebSocket("wss://api.ordermap.si/v1/ws/futures/quotes?symbols=ES", {
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.ORDERMAP_API_KEY}` },
});
ws.on("open", () => ws.send(JSON.stringify({ action: "subscribe", symbols: ["ES"] })));
ws.on("message", (raw) => {
const message = JSON.parse(raw.toString());
if (message.type === "event") console.log(message.seq, message.data);
if (message.type === "gap") console.warn("continuity lost: refetch the range over REST", message);
});
ws.on("close", (code, reason) => console.log("closed", code, reason.toString()));Subscribe message
