Markets

REST endpoints for trading market information.

Use this page when you need public market reads from API v1 REST. For exact “which surface should I use” guidance, start with the API integration guide.

Trading markets and GM tokens​

To retrieve a list of tradable markets and their associated tokens (for example, GM tokens for liquidity pools):

NetworkURL
Arbitrumhttps://arbitrum-api.gmxinfra.io/markets
Avalanchehttps://avalanche-api.gmxinfra.io/markets
Botanixhttps://botanix-api.gmxinfra.io/markets

This endpoint caches responses for 60 seconds.

Trading markets and GM info​

To retrieve detailed information about tradable markets and their tokens — including liquidity, open interest, token amounts, funding/borrowing/net rates, isDisabled status, and listing date:

NetworkURL
Arbitrumhttps://arbitrum-api.gmxinfra.io/markets/info
Avalanchehttps://avalanche-api.gmxinfra.io/markets/info
Botanixhttps://botanix-api.gmxinfra.io/markets/info

The /markets/info endpoint refreshes market values on a 5000 ms pull interval and caches responses with a 1 second TTL. Treat it as a near-live snapshot, not as same-block state.

Operational notes​

  • Use /markets for a market catalog or configuration view. The current implementation caches this route for 60 seconds.
  • Use /markets/info for near-live liquidity, open interest, funding, borrowing, token amounts, and isDisabled state. The current implementation caches this route for 1 second.
  • Use /markets/tickers when you need filtered ticker reads. Invalid addresses or symbols query values return 400.
  • If you need fallback behavior, use the alternate public URLs documented on Fallback URLs.

Funding rate data freshness​

The /rates endpoint returns hourly snapshots produced by the Squid indexer — it is not realtime data. Each snapshot is timestamped at the start of the hour. Use /rates for historical rate analysis, averages, and trend charts.

For near-live funding rates, use /markets/info instead. It refreshes market values on a 5000 ms pull interval and includes current funding and borrowing rates alongside liquidity and open interest.
