# Introduction

Welcome to the **Coinlocally API Documentation** — your complete guide to integrating with our cryptocurrency trading platform.

Coinlocally provides a robust set of RESTful APIs and WebSocket streams that allow developers, traders, and institutions to programmatically access our platform's full suite of trading, account management, and market data features across:

* **Spot Trading**
* **Futures Trading**
* **Margin Trading**
* **Asset Management & Withdrawals**

Whether you're building a custom trading bot, connecting to real-time market feeds, or automating portfolio operations, our APIs are designed to be reliable, secure, and easy to implement.

### ✨ Key Highlights

* Full support for **REST** and **WebSocket** protocols
* Secure authentication via **HMAC-SHA256** signatures
* High-performance endpoints with **rate limit controls**
* Multi-market support: **Spot**, **Futures**, and **Margin**
* SDKs and code samples in popular languages

We recommend starting with the **Public API** section to test connectivity and retrieve market data. From there, you can explore authenticated endpoints for placing orders, managing assets, and tracking user activity.
