Blockchain.com WebSocket APIs is one of 12 APIs that [Blockchain.com](https://apis.io/providers/blockchain/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by an AsyncAPI event-driven specification. Tagged areas include Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, WebSocket, Real-Time, and Exchange. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an AsyncAPI specification.

Real-time WebSocket APIs covering two distinct surfaces — the Bitcoin / blockchain.info explorer socket (unconfirmed transactions, new blocks, per-address activity) and the Blockchain.com Exchange mercury-gateway socket (heartbeat, ticker, L2/L3 order books, prices, symbols, trades, plus authenticated balances and trading).
