What compatibility can save
A connector can reuse familiar market-data, order, account, and WebSocket concepts rather than starting from a proprietary protocol. That can shorten development and make Quote.Trade accessible to existing bots, terminals, and OMS platforms.
What must remain venue-specific
Quote.Trade has its own base URLs, credentials, supported endpoints, symbols, settlement model, limits, errors, and WebSocket streams. Keep those settings in a Quote.Trade configuration instead of hard-coding Binance assumptions.
Public API quick start
The public production base is https://app.quote.trade/api. Start with status, exchange information, instruments, ticker, and depth. Build from live metadata instead of hard-coding symbols, market counts, precision, or order limits.
Authenticated request signing
Quote.Trade documents X-MBX-APIKEY and a signature header containing HMAC SHA256 over the exact minified JSON request body. Byte-for-byte serialization matters. Do not assume the standard Binance query-string signing implementation is interchangeable.
Real-time state
Use the public liquidity WebSocket for live quotes and the private listen-key WebSocket for order, account, position, and risk updates. After reconnecting, reload the current account and order state before sending more orders.
Controlled production migration
Start with public read-only calls, then test authenticated account reads and WebSocket updates. Place one smallest-practical order with leverage off, confirm the result, close the position, and test funding and withdrawal separately. Treat timeouts and 5xx order responses as unknown until you check the order and position state.
