HTTP

Method	POST
Endpoint	/trade/api/v2/exchangePrecision

Request Parameters

Parameter	Type	Mandatory	Description

Example

Python

import requests

body = {"exchange": "coinswitchx", "symbol": "BTC/INR"}
headers, path = sign_request("POST", "/trade/api/v2/exchangePrecision")
response = requests.post(BASE_URL + path, headers=headers, json=body)
print(response.json())

Java

HttpResponse<String> resp = client.send(
    "POST", "/trade/api/v2/exchangePrecision", null,
    Map.of("exchange", "coinswitchx", "symbol", "BTC/INR"));
System.out.println(resp.body());

Go

body := map[string]any{
    "exchange": "coinswitchx",
    "symbol": "BTC/INR",
}
bodyJSON, _ := json.Marshal(body)
headers, p, err := SignRequest("POST", "/trade/api/v2/exchangePrecision", nil)
if err != nil { panic(err) }

req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", BaseURL+p, bytes.NewReader(bodyJSON))
for k, v := range headers { req.Header.Set(k, v) }
resp, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
if err != nil { panic(err) }
defer resp.Body.Close()
out, _ := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
fmt.Println(string(out))

Node.js

const {signRequest, BASE_URL} = require('./reference-client');

const body = {"exchange": "coinswitchx", "symbol": "BTC/INR"};

const {headers, path} = signRequest('POST', '/trade/api/v2/exchangePrecision');
const r = await fetch(BASE_URL + path, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify(body),
});
console.log(await r.json());

Response

{
  "data": {
    "coinswitchx": {
      "BTC/INR": {
        "base": 5,
        "quote": 2,
        "limit": 0
      }
    }
  }
}

Response Parameters

data is keyed by exchange, then by symbol. Each symbol object:

Field	Type	Description
base	integer	Decimal places allowed for quantity (the base asset).
quote	integer	Decimal places allowed for price (the quote asset).
limit	integer	Limit-order specific precision adjustment (typically 0).
