Notes

tip

Please consider switching to Bitvavo FIX Trade Connector.
Institutional traders and market makers can use it for high-volume, low-latency order execution.

Location

Bitvavo is hosted in the Amazon Frankfurt region.

Operator ID

Operator ID is an integer that you specify to identify the trader or algorithm responsible for each order submitted using your API integration.
It enables clearer attribution of trading activity, which is critical for compliance and auditability.

note

If the operatorId config parameter is not set, the connector uses the absolute value of the order request's SourceID in Alphanumeric encoding.

Subscription

The connector subscribes to all instruments at once. Bitvavo rejects the subscription if one or more symbols are invalid, causing the connector to drop and re-establish the connection.

Order Replacement

What happens during the update is that the order is taken out of the order book, during the update, and then placed back. However, if the user places an order, but while being processed on the API, that order is matched and filled on the ME, that order will already be marked as filled.

note

The effective open quantity during replacement should exceed minimal order quantity.
I.e. Replacement Qty - Filled Qty >= Min Order Qty

Rate Limits

Each REST endpoint and WebSocket action in Bitvavo API is allocated Rate limit weight points.
