Overview

Receive real-time updates for your account activity through authenticated WebSocket connections. After connecting with valid API credentials, subscribe to the private channels you need (orders, balance, positions).
Account update streams require authentication and explicit subscription. Include a valid API key in the WebSocket connection headers (X-API-Key). Timestamp/signature headers are accepted but not enforced.

​
Available Private Streams

Order Updates

Real-time order status changes and fills

Balance Updates

Account balance changes from trades and transfers

Position Updates

Position changes and profit/loss updates

Account Notifications

Account-level alerts and status updates

Quick Start

​
Authenticated Connection Setup

const timestamp = Date.now().toString();
const signature = generateHMACSignature(apiSecret, timestamp);

const ws = new WebSocket('wss://ws.roxom.com/ws', [], {
  headers: {
    'X-API-KEY': 'your-api-key',
    'X-API-TIMESTAMP': timestamp,
    'X-API-SIGN': signature
  }
});

ws.onopen = () => {
  ws.send(JSON.stringify({
    op: 'subscribe',
    args: [ { channel: 'orders' }, { channel: 'positions' }, { channel: 'balance' } ]
  }));
};

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
      const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
  
  if (data.event === 'subscribe') return; // subscription ack
  if (data.data && data.data.type === 'order') handleOrderUpdate(data.data);
  if (data.data && data.data.type === 'position') handlePositionUpdate(data.data);
  if (data.data && data.data.type === 'balance') handleBalanceUpdate(data.data);
};

​
HMAC Signature Generation

function generateHMACSignature(secret, timestamp) {
  const crypto = require('crypto');
  return crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', secret)
    .update(timestamp)
    .digest('base64');
}

​
Message Format

All account update messages follow a consistent structure: 
{
  "type": "order|balance|position|account",
  "data": {
    "accountId": "01234567-89ab-7def-8123-456789abcdef",
    // Type-specific data fields
    "timestamp": 1640995200000000000
  }
}

Best Practices

​
Authentication Requirements

To access private account streams, you need:
  1. Valid API Credentials: Active API key with appropriate permissions
  2. Proper Signature: HMAC-SHA256 signature of the timestamp
  3. Current Timestamp: Within 30 seconds of server time
  4. Correct Headers: All required authentication headers included
See the Authentication Guide for detailed setup instructions.
