## REST API for the BitMEX Trading Platform [Changelog](/app/apiChangelog) ---- #### Getting Started ##### Fetching Data All REST endpoints are documented below. You can try out any query right from this interface. Most table queries accept `count`, `start`, and `reverse` params. Set `reverse=true` to get rows newest-first. Additional documentation regarding filters, timestamps, and authentication is available in [the main API documentation](https://www.bitmex.com/app/restAPI). *All* table data is available via the [Websocket](/app/wsAPI). We highly recommend using the socket if you want to have the quickest possible data without being subject to ratelimits. ##### Return Types By default, all data is returned as JSON. Send `?_format=csv` to get CSV data or `?_format=xml` to get XML data. ##### Trade Data Queries *This is only a small subset of what is available, to get you started.* Fill in the parameters and click the `Try it out!` button to try any of these queries. * [Pricing Data](#!/Quote/Quote_get) * [Trade Data](#!/Trade/Trade_get) * [OrderBook Data](#!/OrderBook/OrderBook_getL2) * [Settlement Data](#!/Settlement/Settlement_get) * [Exchange Statistics](#!/Stats/Stats_history) Every function of the BitMEX.com platform is exposed here and documented.
