Important notes

  • Authentication required via api_key query parameter
  • Use market_id (Opinion market identifier) to subscribe
  • Messages are only sent for markets you have explicitly subscribed to
  • Multiple markets can be subscribed in a single message
  • Trades must be explicitly requested (not included in the default subscription)
