Quick Start

Fubon Market WebSocket API provides real-time stock market data services for Taiwan. Through the WebSocket API, you can fulfill your need for receiving real-time market data.

Using SDK

Fubon Market WebSocket API provides Python 、 Node.js and C# SDKs. You can access the WebSocket API through the following methods:

And subscribe webSocket callback method to receive the callback messages below.

info

WebSocket api provides Low Latency Speed Mode and Multi-Information Normal Mode.

from fubon_neo.sdk import FubonSDK, Mode

def handle_message(message):
print(message)

sdk = FubonSDK()
accounts = sdk.login("Your ID", "Your password", "Your cert path", "Your cert password")

sdk.init_realtime()
# Offer MarketData Mode , Default : Speed
# sdk.init_realtime(Mode.Speed) or sdk.init_realtime(Mode.Normal)

futopt = sdk.marketdata.websocket_client.futopt
futopt.on('message', handle_message)
futopt.connect()

Authenticated

When the verification is successful, you will receive the following message:

{
"event": "authenticated",
"data": {
"message": "Authenticated successfully"
}
}

When the verification is failed, you will receive the following message:

{
"event": "error",
"data": {
"message": "Invalid authentication credentials"
}
}

Heartbeat

Every 30 seconds, the WebSocket server will send out a heartbeat message:

{
"event": "heartbeat",
"data": {
"time": "<Timestamp>"
}
}

Ping/Pong

Every 30 seconds, sdk will send the following JSON-formatted message to the WebSocket Server, or follow the below example (where state is optional):

futopt.ping({
'state' : '<ANY>'
})

The WebSocket Server will respond with the following message (if ping was sent, the state field will not be present):

{
"event": "pong",
"data": {
"time": "<TIMESTAMP>",
"state": "<ANY>"
}
}

Channels

The Fubon Market WebSocket API currently provides the following subscribable channels:

Subscribe Channel

Subscribe to a channel, send following example to the WebSocket Server:

futopt.subscribe({
"channel" : "<CHANNEL_NAME>",
"symbol" : "<SYMBOL_ID>"
#"afterHours" : True Subscribe after-hours
})

After a successful subscription, you will receive the following event response:

{
"event": "subscribed",
"data": {
"id": "<CHANNEL_ID>",
"channel": "<CHANNEL_NAME>",
"symbol": "<SYMBOL_ID>"
}
}

Supports the subscription of multiple stocks within the same channel:

futopt.subscribe({
"channel" : "<CHANNEL_NAME>",
"symbols" : ["<SYMBOL_ID>","<SYMBOL_ID>"]
#"afterHours" : True Subscribe after-hours
})

After a successful subscription, you will receive the following event response:

{
"event": "subscribed",
"data": [
{
"id": "<CHANNEL_ID>",
"channel": "<CHANNEL_NAME>",
"symbol": "<SYMBOL_ID_1>"
},
{
"id": "<CHANNEL_ID>",
"channel": "<CHANNEL_NAME>",
"symbol": "<SYMBOL_ID_2>"
}
]
}

Unsubscribe

Unsubscribe from a subscribed channel, please send the following example to WebSocket Server:

futopt.unsubscribe({
'id':'<CHANNEL_ID>'
})

After a successful unsubscription, you will receive the following event response:

{
"event": "unsubscribed",
"data": {
"id": "<CHANNEL_ID>",
"channel" : "<CHANNEL_NAME>",
"symbol" : "<SYMBOL_ID>"
}
}

Supports the unsubscription from multiple channels:

futopt.unsubscribe({
'ids':['<CHANNEL_ID>','<CHANNEL_ID>']
})

After a successful unsubscription, you will receive the following event response:

{
"event": "unsubscribed",
"data": [
{
"id": "<CHANNEL_ID_1>",
"channel" : "<CHANNEL_NAME>",
"symbol" : "<SYMBOL_ID>"
},
{
"id": "<CHANNEL_ID_2>",
"channel" : "<CHANNEL_NAME>",
"symbol" : "<SYMBOL_ID>"
}
]
}

Error Handle

When there is an anomaly in the WebSocket callback you subscribed to or processed, you can handle error messages as follows:

def handle_connect():
print('market data connected')


def handle_disconnect(code, message):
print(f'market data disconnect: {code}, {message}')


def handle_error(error):
print(f'market data error: {error}')

futopt.on("connect", handle_connect)
futopt.on("disconnect", handle_disconnect)
futopt.on("error", handle_error)

Reconnection

The following is a simple demonstration that automatically reconnects the websocket when a disconnection event is detected using a callback:

def handle_disconnect(code, message):
print(f'market data disconnect: {code}, {message}')
futopt.connect()
print("Reconnected Succuess")
print("Resubscribe")
futopt.subscribe({ # 重新訂閱您已訂閱過的Channel與Symbol
'channel': '<CHANNEL_NAME>',
'symbol': '<SYMBOL_ID>'
})
