XRPL WebSocket API: Real-Time Token Prices & Market Data

XRPL.to provides persistent WebSocket connections for streaming live market data directly to your application. Instead of polling REST endpoints every few seconds, open a single connection and receive instant push updates as prices change, trades execute, and new ledgers close.

WebSocket streams are available without authentication for public data. Connections are lightweight, support automatic reconnection, and deliver sub-second latency for all token price movements on the XRP Ledger DEX.

Open a WebSocket connection and subscribe to token updates with just a few lines of JavaScript:

const ws = new WebSocket('wss://api.xrpl.to/ws/sync/');

ws.onopen = () => {
  // Subscribe to specific tokens by MD5 hash
  ws.send(JSON.stringify({
    action: 'subscribe',
    tokens: ['a1b2c3d4e5f6...']  // token MD5 identifiers
  }));
};

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
  console.log('Token update:', data);
};

ws.onclose = () => {
  // Reconnect after a short delay
  setTimeout(() => connectWebSocket(), 3000);
};

Each price update message contains the token identifier, current price, 24-hour volume, and change percentage:

{
  "md5": "a1b2c3d4e5f6...",
  "currency": "USD",
  "issuer": "rvYAfWj5gh67oV6fW32ZzP3Aw4Eubs59B",
  "price_xrp": "0.4521",
  "price_usd": "1.0002",
  "volume_24h": "1250000.00",
  "change_24h": "2.45",
  "market_cap": "52000000",
  "updated": 1717200000000
}
