Introduction

Welcome to the Hydro API.

Our API is similar to major exchanges such as gdax and binance, but as our exchange is decentralized there are a few key differences:

You trade directly from your ethereum wallet. Therefore authentication does not rely on a typical API key scheme, but rather on the cryptographic signature scheme used to interact with the Ethereum blockchain. (Authentication)
Submitting an order is a multi-step process where you must:
- Ask the API to construct an unsigned order (Build Unsigned Order)
- Locally sign the order (Sign Order)
- Submit the signed order to the exchange (Place Order)

SDK

We've provided a javascript SDK to get you started. You can view the Github project, or simply install it via npm:

npm i @hydro-protocol/sdk

ChangeLog

General Changes

Bump api version to v3. We will stop supporting calls to v2 in early January 2019.
The v2 API was using base and quote terminology incorrectly. The quoteToken should be the reference token, in most cases WETH or DAI. The baseToken should be the token that is quoted in relation to the quoteToken, meaning the general ERC20 token you wish to trade against WETH or DAI, such as HOT. We have updated the API to correct for this.
For consistency, we now use WETH instead of ETH in marketId.
Added support for market orders.

Market API Changes

/v3/markets
/v3/markets/:marketId

Fee rates for makers and takers are now returned as asMakerFeeRate and asTakerFeeRate.
Gas fees for the current market in baseToken are now returned as gasFeeAmount
There is no longer an upper bound for order size, so the field maxOrderSize has been removed.

Build Unsigned Order API Changes

/v3/orders/build

Hydro-DDEX now supports both limit and market orders. Use orderType to specify the type of order.
The response has changed significantly for Hydro-DDEX. Check out Build Unsigned Order for more details.

Sign/Place Order API Changes

/v3/orders (POST)

Hydro-DDEX now supports EIP712 signing. Use method to specify how the order was signed.

Note: For API users, we recommend continuing to sign with EthSign. EIP712 signing is mainly an improvement for UI users (e.g. MetaMask). For more detail please read EIP-712.

Public Rest API

Introduction

These are API calls that do not require any user authentication to perform. They will generally give you information about the public state of the market.

    ]
  }
}

Returns all active markets.

HTTP Request

GET https://api.ddex.io/v3/markets

Details

The value returned for minOrderSize represents the lower bound for the amount of baseToken you can specify in a single order.

Both baseToken and quoteToken give you the contract address of the token, as well as the number of decimals used by the token.

Price is limited to a precision value in pricePrecision which is the maximum amount of digits in a number. For example, if the precision is 4, a price of "0.000124" is valid, but a price of "1.9029" is not.

Both price and amount have a minimum unit, as defined in priceDecimals and amountDecimals. Any value specified must not have an increment smaller than the minimum defined unit. For example if priceDecimals is 2, a price of "0.01" is valid, but a price of "1.001" is not.

Each market defines the fee rate for makers and takers with asMakerFeeRate and asTakerFeeRate

The estimated amount of gas in quoteToken needed to fill an order is defined in gasFeeAmount. Note that this value is just an estimate and may change as Etherum prices fluctuate.

The order types supported by a market are found in supportedOrderTypes. Possible values are limit and market.

Private Rest API

Introduction

API calls that return data about a specific account, or let you post data to the system. These calls will require you to authenticate in order to access them. Please see the Authentication) section below for more details.

Authentication

Example (web3)

const address = web3.eth.coinbase;
const message = "[email protected]" + Date.now();
web3.personal.sign(web3.toHex(message), address, (err, sign) => {
  console.log(address + "#" + message + "#" + sign);
});

Example (ethereumjs-util)

import {
  hashPersonalMessage,
  ecsign,
  toRpcSig,
  toBuffer,
  privateToAddress
} from "ethereumjs-util";

const message = "[email protected]" + Date.now();
const privateKey =
  "0xe4abcbf75d38cf61c4fde0ade1148f90376616f5233b7c1fef2a78c5992a9a50";
const address = "0x" + privateToAddress(privateKey).toString("hex");

const sha = hashPersonalMessage(toBuffer(message));
const ecdsaSignature = ecsign(sha, toBuffer(privateKey));
const signature = toRpcSig(
  ecdsaSignature.v,
  ecdsaSignature.r,
  ecdsaSignature.s
);
console.log(address + "#" + message + "#" + signature);

Hydro uses an Authentication Header to control access to the API.

Header Format

Hydro-Authentication: {Address}#{Message}#{Signature}

Header Components

Component	Description
Address	The ethereum address used for trading, e.g. `0xed6d484f5c289ec8c6b6f934ef6419230169f534`
Message	A static message plus the current UTC timestamp in milliseconds, e.g. `[email protected]`
Signature	The result of signing the Message component with the private key of the Address

Details

In order to authenticate a request, you must construct a token validating your ownership of the trading address. The token is time sensitive to prevent a leaked token from giving irrevocable access to the Hydro API for a particular trading address. As part of the Message component, you will include a current timestamp in UTC. The token will be valid for up to 5 minutes. In general we suggest creating a new token for each request.

A full example header using the example Address and Message values above:

Hydro-Authentication: 0xed6d484f5c289ec8c6b6f934ef6419230169f534#[email protected]#0x2b3eacf8844008fe3822a9d3ba97a9d6df1a7aeb95636c10024e34334a0e008e7129b86a87c1dfcad9a25743fb6598e555c086cfede2e245e0d8043ac7e17f8e00

Wrapping Ether

Example Wrap (web3)

const wethAddress = "0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2";
const wethAmount = new web3.BigNumber(1); // 1 ETH to WETH
web3.eth
  .contract([
    {
      constant: false,
      inputs: [],
      name: "deposit",
      outputs: [],
      payable: true,
      stateMutability: "payable",
      type: "function"
    }
  ])
  .at(wethAddress)
  .deposit(
    {
      value: wethAmount.mul(new web3.BigNumber(10).pow(18)) // Convert to WEI
    },
    (err, res) => console.log(res) // Transaction id
  );

Example Unwrap (web3)

const wethAddress = "0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2";
const wethAmount = new web3.BigNumber(1); // 1 ETH to WETH
web3.eth
  .contract([
    {
      constant: false,
      inputs: [
        {
          name: "wad",
          type: "uint256"
        }
      ],
      name: "withdraw",
      outputs: [],
      payable: false,
      stateMutability: "nonpayable",
      type: "function"
    }
  ])
  .at(wethAddress)
  .withdraw(
    wethAmount.mul(new web3.BigNumber(10).pow(18)), // Convert to WEI
    (err, res) => console.log(res) // Transaction id
  );

Exchanges built using the Hydro Protocol allow users to trade ERC20 tokens directly from their digital wallets. Unfortunately, Ether itself does not conform to the ERC20 standards (yet!). Because of this, ETH must first be converted to what is known as "wrapped ether" (WETH), which does conform to the ERC20 Standard. ETH and WETH are always exchanged at a 1:1 ratio. You can wrap/unwrap ETH yourself with web3 as shown in the example, or visit our Support Article for information on how to wrap through our DDEX exchange.

Enabling Token Trading

Example Enable WETH (web3)

const wethAddress = "0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2";
const proxyAddress = "0x74622073a4821dbfd046e9aa2ccf691341a076e1";

web3.eth
  .contract([
    {
      constant: false,
      inputs: [
        {
          name: "guy",
          type: "address"
        },
        {
          name: "wad",
          type: "uint256"
        }
      ],
      name: "approve",
      outputs: [
        {
          name: "",
          type: "bool"
        }
      ],
      payable: false,
      stateMutability: "nonpayable",
      type: "function"
    }
  ])
  .at(wethAddress)
  .approve(
    proxyAddress,
    new web3.BigNumber(2).pow(256).minus(1), // MAX_INT, unlimited allowance
    (err, res) => console.log(res) // Transaction id
  );

Example Disable WETH (web3)

const wethAddress = "0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2";
const proxyAddress = "0x74622073a4821dbfd046e9aa2ccf691341a076e1";

web3.eth
  .contract([
    {
      constant: false,
      inputs: [
        {
          name: "guy",
          type: "address"
        },
        {
          name: "wad",
          type: "uint256"
        }
      ],
      name: "approve",
      outputs: [
        {
          name: "",
          type: "bool"
        }
      ],
      payable: false,
      stateMutability: "nonpayable",
      type: "function"
    }
  ])
  .at(wethAddress)
  .approve(
    proxyAddress,
    new web3.BigNumber(0), // Zero allowance
    (err, res) => console.log(res) // Transaction id
  );

To allow a relayer to match trades from your digital wallet for a given token type, users must first perform a 1-time transaction to "enable" (or unlock) each type of token they wish to trade. This enabling process only has to be done once, and can be done through our DDEX exchange. Please visit our Support Article for more information on how to make sure your tokens are enabled for trading.

Returns data about an unsigned order based on the requested order parameters passed in. To place an order you will sign this data and post it back to the API to authenticate the use of your account in the trade.

HTTP Request

POST https://api.ddex.io/v3/orders/build

Query Parameters

Parameter	Description
marketId	The market you wish to post the order to. Specified in the form of a trading pair of tokens, e.g. `ZEN-WETH`.
side	`buy` or `sell`.
orderType	The type of the order, `limit` or `market`.
price	If `orderType` is `limit`, this is the price of the order, e.g. `0.0007`. If `orderType` is `market`, this is used as the maximum price you are willing to pay for `buy` and the minimum price you are willing to `sell` for. No price limit will be used if set to `0`.
amount	The amount of token in the order. e.g. `100`.
expires	(Optional) Time in seconds after which this order will expire. Minimum valid value is 3600 (1 hour), any smaller positive value will be read as a 1 hour expiration time. An expiration time of 0 means the order will never expire. Defaults to 0.
isMakerOnly	(Optional) For limit order, set this to `true` to indicate it only make liquidity, if any part of the order results in taking liquidity, the order will be rejected and no part of it will execute. Defaults to `false`.

Details

Returns information about the order you wish to create, mostly mirroring the values passed in. The id field inside order is what you will sign and post to allow the exchange to fulfill the order on your behalf. Additionally we return data about the the rates that will be charged to makers and takers, and an estimated amount of gas that will be charged to fill the order.

Sign Order

Example (EthSign, web3)

const address = web3.eth.coinbase;
const orderId =
  "0x36975d8312c7f09003e0d280f3e8f48d406961a74afdf023873c12b99d35e86f";
web3.personal.sign(web3.toHex(orderId), address, (err, signature) => {
  console.log(signature);
});

Example (EthSign, ethereumjs-util)

import {
  hashPersonalMessage,
  ecsign,
  toRpcSig,
  toBuffer,
  privateToAddress
} from "ethereumjs-util";

const orderId =
  "0x36975d8312c7f09003e0d280f3e8f48d406961a74afdf023873c12b99d35e86f";
const privateKey =
  "0xe4abcbf75d38cf61c4fde0ade1148f90376616f5233b7c1fef2a78c5992a9a50";
const address = privateToAddress(privateKey).toString("hex");

const sha = hashPersonalMessage(toBuffer(orderId));
const ecdsaSignature = ecsign(sha, toBuffer(privateKey));
const signature = toRpcSig(
  ecdsaSignature.v,
  ecdsaSignature.r,
  ecdsaSignature.s
);
console.log(signature);

Once you have an orderId for an unsigned order built on the server, you will have to sign it in order to post it to the orderbook.

After signing the orderId you can post it to this endpoint with the signature you created in order to send it to the orderbook. If you simply signed the order id hash, use the EthSign method and pass 0, otherwise if you have chosen to sign the full order data with EIP712, pass 1.

HTTP Request

POST https://api.ddex.io/v3/orders

Query Parameters

Parameter	Description
orderId	The id returned from the Build Unsigned Order endpoint.
signature	The signature created during the Sign Order step.
method	(Optional) The signing method, 0 (EthSign) or 1 (EIP712). Defaults to `0`.

Details

Returns information about the order that was posted to the orderbook. The json field in the order contains values that the exchange will need to complete the transaction. Also included in the data is the original marketId, side, price and amount requested for the order, the account used to make the order, and information on the various rates and fees that will be applied to fill the order.

The averagePrice shows the average cost per token so far for this order. If no token has been exchanged yet, this will always be 0. Once the order has begun being filled, this could differ from the requested order price in a few ways. If a matching order with a better price was found, the better price will be used. In the case of a market order, the price is only used as an upper/lower bound, so this will display the actual price used. Finally, the average price also takes into account any trading fees, gas fees, and rebates involved in the process.

The order also includes a number of amounts related to the status of the order. availableAmount is how much token is still available to be filled for this order, pendingAmount is how much token has been claimed to be filled, but has not yet been confirmed on the blockchain. confirmedAmount is the amount that has been filled and confirmed on the blockchain, and canceledAmount is how much of the token was left when an order was canceled, and is no longer available to be filled.

status shows the fill state of the order, can be pending, canceled, partial filled or full filled.

pending: The order has not been completely filled, so availableAmount > 0 or pendingAmount > 0
partial filled: The order was partially filled, but no longer has any available token due to the rest being cancelled. More explicitly, both confirmedAmount and canceledAmount are postive and the sum of those two equals the total amount of the order.
full filled: The order has been completely filled and confirmed, and thus confirmedAmount is equal to the total amount of the order.
canceled: The order was canceled before even partial fulfillment. This means canceledAmount is equal to the total amount of the order.

Cancel Order

Websocket

Overview

The Websocket API is intended to provide real-time updates to the state of the market. In order to receive updates, you must open a socket to the websocket endpoint, and send a subscription message. This message will define what real-time data you are interested in, so you only get the updates you need.

Endpoint: wss://ws.ddex.io/v3

Request

{
  "type": "subscribe",
  "channels": [
    {
      "name": "full",
      "marketIds": [ "HOT-WETH" ]
    },
    {
      "name": "ticker",
      "marketIds": [ "HOT-WETH" ]
    }
  ]
}

Response

    },
    {
      "name": "ticker",
      "marketIds": [ "HOT-WETH" ]
    }
  ]
}

To begin receiving websocket messages, you must first send a subscribe message to the server indicating which channels you are interested in, and for which markets you wish to receive updates.

JSON Fields

Parameter	Description
type	`subscribe`
channels	An array of Channel Data describing which channels and markets you wish to subscribe to.

Channel Data

Parameter	Description
name	`ticker`, `orderbook`, or `full`
marketIds	An array of market ids, specified in the form of a trading pair of tokens, e.g. `ZRX-WETH`

Details

Once a subscribe message is received, the server will respond with a subscriptions message that lists all channels you are currently subscribed to.

The orderbook channel provides an easy way to maintain a live view of the aggregated orderbook.

Snapshot

After subscribing to the channel, it will send a message of type level2OrderbookSnapshot for each subscribed market. The message is a complete, although aggregated, snapshot of the current orderbook, where bids and asks are lists of json data containing price and amount of token available at that price (aggregated over all orders in the book).

Update

Once you get the initial snapshot, messages will be sent corresponding to any change in the orderbook. The message will have the type level2OrderbookUpdate and list which market the change occurred in. It also contains a list of changes which contain which side the change occurred on, the price the change occurred at, and the new amount at that price level.

Note that if the new amount in an update is 0, the price level can be removed from your orderbook.

The full channel provides real-time updates on all orders and trades for the specified markets. These updates can be applied on to a level 3 orderbook snapshot to maintain an accurate, non-aggregated copy of the exchange orderbook.

Sequence Numbers

Updates you receive will contain a sequence number. Sequence numbers are increasing integer values that will always increase by 1 for each new message in the sequence. If the sequence number you receive is more than 1 higher than the previous value, then a message has been dropped. If you see a sequence number lower than the previous value, then a message has arrived out of order and can likely be ignored. In both cases you may need to perform some logic to get your system to consistent state. For example, if you miss a change message, you should resubscribe to the channel in order to receive a full snapshot message and reset your state.

Snapshot

After subscribing to the channel, it will send a message of type level3OrderbookSnapshot for each subscribed market. The message is a complete, non-aggregated snapshot of the current orderbook, where bids and asks are lists of json data containing price, amount, and the orderId for the order it represents. These data blobs are not aggregated, so you will receive one for every order on the market.

Receive

A valid order has been received and is now active. This message is emitted for every valid order as soon as the matching engine receives it, whether it fills immediately or not.

Open

A new order is now open on the orderbook. This message will only be sent for orders which are not fulfilled immediately. availableAmount will indicate how much of the order is unfulfilled and available on the orderbook.

Done

An order is no longer available on the orderbook. This message can result from an order being canceled or completely filled. There will be no more messages for this orderId once this message has been received. canceledAmount indicates how much of the order went unfulfilled, and confirmedAmount indicates how much of the order was fulfilled.

Change

If an order is changed due to self-trade prevention, you will receive a change message for that orderId. It will contain the oldAvailableAmount, as well as the newAvailableAmount which is the amount of token left over in the order that can still be fulfilled.

Trade

Two orders have been matched, and a trade has occurred. The orders will be marked as pending until the trade is successfully validated on the blockchain.

Trade Success

A trade has been validated on the blockchain.
