}Authorizations
The public WhiteBIT API key.
Base64-encoded JSON request body.
HMAC-SHA512 signature of the payload, hex-encoded. Computed as hex(HMAC-SHA512(payload, api_secret)).
Body
Timer value. Example: '5'-'600' or null
"60"
Order types to target. Valid values: "spot" — standard spot orders. "margin" — marginal orders placed on spot markets. Note: the "margin" value is not the same as the collateral account balance; "collateral" in other endpoints refers to the funding account, whereas "margin" here refers specifically to the order type. "futures" — marginal orders placed on futures markets (e.g., BTC_PERP). If omitted, the API targets all order types.
spot, margin, futures ["spot", "margin"]
"{{request}}"
"{{nonce}}"
Response
Successful response - kill-switch timer synced
Trading pair the timer applies to.
"BTC_USDT"
Unix timestamp (seconds) when the timer was created or last reset.
1662478154
Unix timestamp (seconds) when the kill-switch will cancel orders. Equals startTime + timeout.
1662478154
Order types targeted by the kill-switch. Possible values: spot, margin, futures.
spot, margin, futures ["spot", "margin"]
