Understanding APIs

Hi Deriv Community,

Let’s talk about WebSockets — the core of the Deriv API. They enable real-time communication, making trading apps faster and more responsive. Whether you need one-time data or continuous updates, the API offers powerful tools:

  • Send: Make a single request and get the response you need.
  • Subscribe: Stream data in real-time for continuous updates.
  • Forget: Stop streaming data when you no longer need it.

This combination of functions gives you the flexibility to manage data efficiently for any project.
