Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for developers integrating RealMarketAPI.
01What is RealMarketAPI?
RealMarketAPI is a market data platform that provides realtime and historical OHLC data through REST APIs and WebSocket streams for metals, forex, crypto, commodities, and indices.
02Which assets and symbols are supported?
You can access symbols including XAUUSD, XAGUSD, USDJPY, BTCUSD, ETHUSD, XRPUSD, USOIL, UKOIL, US500, and US30. Available symbols may vary by plan.
03Which timeframes can I request?
Supported timeframes are M5, M15, H1, H4, and D1. Not every plan includes every timeframe, so check your current plan limits.
04How do I authenticate requests?
Requests use your apiKey as a query parameter in endpoint URLs. Keep your apiKey private and rotate it immediately if you suspect exposure.
05What is the difference between /price and /history?
/api/v1/price returns the latest candle for a symbol and timeframe, while /api/v1/history returns paginated historical candle data between startTime and endTime.
06When should I use WebSocket instead of REST?
Use WebSocket for continuous realtime updates and low-latency interfaces. Use REST when you need on-demand snapshots, historical lookups, or server-side jobs.
07Do you apply rate limits?
Yes. Each plan has request-per-minute and monthly request limits. If exceeded, the API may return a 429 status code until your quota window resets.
08How is historical data paginated?
Use pageNumber and pageSize on /api/v1/history. Responses include TotalCount, CurrentPage, TotalPages, and PageSize to help iterate through the dataset.
09What error codes should I handle?
Common statuses include 400 (validation error), 401 (unauthorised), 403 (forbidden), 429 (rate limited), and 500 (server error). Use TraceId when contacting support.
10Can I use RealMarketAPI for commercial products?
Commercial use depends on your plan. Starter/Pro/Business/Enterprise plans are designed for production usage, whilst Free is intended for testing and learning.
11How fast is support response?
Response times vary by plan and issue type. Priority and enterprise tiers receive faster support handling, especially for production-impact incidents.
12How can I upgrade or request custom limits?
You can upgrade from the pricing page or contact the sales team for custom limits, dedicated infrastructure, private endpoints, and enterprise SLA options.
