  title: Luno Streaming API
  version: '1'
  description: >-
    Real-time market data stream for the Luno Exchange. A client opens one
    WebSocket connection per trading pair, authenticates with its API key pair,
    receives an initial full order book snapshot, then a continuous sequence of
    update messages (create / delete / trade) that mutate the local order book.
    This AsyncAPI is an API Evangelist representation of the documented stream,
    not a Luno-published spec.

                bids: { type: array }

              type: object
              properties:

                status_update: { type: object }
                timestamp: { type: integer }
notes: >-
  Authentication is the same API Key ID / Secret pair used for the REST API,
  sent in the initial subscription frame. Luno does not offer outbound webhooks;
  this WebSocket stream is its event/streaming surface.
