As more institutions tap into crypto, their tech options remain scarce. Ready-made products and custom development are not mutually exclusive: you don't have to abandon familiar tools, as Zent is now available through API! 

Our low-latency order execution augments any in-house system. Institutions can add Zent's capabilities to existing software, leveraging our powerful backend and infrastructure in proprietary environments.

Key advantages

Product integration makes Zent's diverse, time-tested capabilities instantly accessible to your trading team.

Technical specifications

Our External API extends robust and versatile capabilities across all exchanges available in the UI via REST API over the HTTPS protocol. Currently, the external API fully mirrors the functionality of Order Rules in the user interface. It enables clients to create, cancel, edit, pause, resume, and request detailed information about Order Rules, as well as retrieve historical data.

Security

The security of our clients’ operations through the API is paramount. Each request is signed with a secret key using the SHA-256 protocol to ensure the integrity and authenticity of communications.

For heightened security, API keys are generated within the Zent terminal interface and inherit visibility and access rights from the user’s role that creates them (Owner, Viewer, Supervisor, or Trader). This provides granular control over access levels.

Speed and ease of integration

Technical support and comprehensive documentation facilitate the integration process, while asynchronous interactions and effective caching deliver high-speed API performance. Handling substantial data throughput with minimal response times enables clients to achieve optimal efficiency.
