JSONBest for
- HTX is particularly valuable for strategies that operate during Asian market hours, where it maintains some of the deepest liquidity among regional exchanges.
- It is a strong choice for cross-venue arbitrage between Asian and Western exchanges, Asian altcoin momentum strategies, and round-the-clock market-making bots that need high activity during UTC+8 windows.
- Barfinex users targeting CNY-correlated crypto price patterns will find HTX data especially relevant.

Important
Permissions required: Read + Trade.
HTX uses HMAC-SHA256 request signing.
Note that the exchange was rebranded from Huobi to HTX in 2023 — some API documentation and community resources still reference Huobi; the API hostname changed to api.huobi.pro / api.htx.com depending on region.
HTX applies account-level rate limits; accounts with higher trading volumes receive elevated limits.
Futures on HTX (Huobi DM) use a separate endpoint and independent API configuration.
