Authorize

Authorize a WebSocket connection to subscribe to private account data streams on WhiteBIT.

Authorize the WebSocket connection for private channel access. Send a WebSocket token obtained from the REST API. Authorization is required once per connection — all private channels can be used after a single successful authorization.

Authorization flow

Step 1 — Get a WebSocket token

Call the REST endpoint to obtain a short-lived token:

POST /api/v4/profile/websocket_token

See WebSocket Authentication for the full flow including request signing.

Step 2 — Send authorization request

params[0] is the token. params[1] is the fixed string "public".

Step 3 — Receive confirmation

The connection is now authorized. Subscribe to any private channel on the same connection.

Authorization is per connection, not per subscription. Authorize once, then subscribe to as many private channels as needed on the same WebSocket connection.
