R-Ticker

Get live access to price movements across the crypto market.

Overview

The ticker is a system that periodically sends requests to the API to retrieve real-time trading pairs and price information from the exchange.

• Only trading pairs with USDT are used.
• Data is sent to Redis and users’ Centrifugo channels.

Basic Working Principle

• A request is sent to the API every 5 seconds.
• If the response is anything other than 200 or connection issues occur, the system waits 10 seconds before retrying the request.

Processing Response Data

• lastPrice: The real-time price of a specific trading pair (e.g., BTCUSDT).
• priceChange: The difference between the last price and the previous price, indicating how much the price has changed.
• priceChangePercent: The percentage change in price, showing how much the trading pair has increased or decreased.
