CoinSwitch is one of India's largest retail crypto investing platforms, based in Bengaluru and backed by a16z, Paradigm, and Ribbit Capital. Alongside its consumer buy/sell app it operates CoinSwitch PRO, a professional trading venue that exposes a public REST and WebSocket API for programmatic trading. The CoinSwitch PRO API (base https://coinswitch.co/trade/api/v2) covers Spot trading on INR and USDT pairs, USDT-margined Perpetual Futures with up to 100x leverage, low-latency High-Frequency Trading (HFT) endpoints, and Options (private beta). Developers can place, cancel, and track orders, read portfolios and trading fees, and subscribe to real-time order, balance, and candlestick streams over Socket.IO. Requests authenticate with an API key and an Ed25519 request signature (X-AUTH-APIKEY / X-AUTH-SIGNATURE / X-AUTH-EPOCH), with reference signing implementations published for Python, Java, Go, and Node.js.
