What you will change
- Point the bot at the Quote.Trade REST endpoint
- Replace Binance credentials with Quote.Trade API credentials
- Keep the existing Binance V3 request and response code for supported endpoints
- Update WebSocket URLs only if the bot uses live streams
- Run a small end-to-end test before enabling normal order sizes
Before you begin
- Access to the bot's source code or configuration
- A Quote.Trade account and API key
- A list of the REST and WebSocket endpoints the bot actually uses
- A test environment or a very small live order size
The Quote.Trade API is intended to be compatible with Binance V3 client code. For endpoints listed in the current Quote.Trade documentation, start with only the base endpoint and API-key changes. Add custom code only when the bot calls an endpoint Quote.Trade does not provide or a specific library hardcodes Binance behavior.
Find the Binance connection settings
Locate the place where the bot sets its REST base URL, WebSocket URL, API key, and secret. Search the configuration and source for common names and Binance hostnames.
API_BASE_URL
REST_BASE_URL
WS_BASE_URL
api.binance.com
fapi.binance.com
stream.binance.comThe exchange URL and credentials can be changed without changing the trading strategy.
Change the REST endpoint
Set the final REST base endpoint used by the client to https://app.quote.trade/api. Quote.Trade routes are appended to that base, for example /exchangeInfo, /ticker, /depth, and /order.
# Binance
REST_BASE_URL=https://api.binance.com
# Quote.Trade
REST_BASE_URL=https://app.quote.trade/apicurl -sS https://app.quote.trade/api/status
curl -sS https://app.quote.trade/api/exchangeInfoThe bot's public requests go to Quote.Trade and return JSON without contacting Binance.
Replace the API keys
Create Quote.Trade credentials in API Management and place them in the same configuration fields the bot previously used for its Binance key and secret. Do not reuse or expose the Binance credentials. Quote.Trade uses the familiar X-MBX-APIKEY header for API keys.
QUOTE_TRADE_API_KEY=<your-quote-trade-api-key>
QUOTE_TRADE_API_SECRET=<your-quote-trade-api-secret>Authenticated requests use Quote.Trade credentials and no Binance secret is sent to Quote.Trade.
Keep the existing code for supported endpoints
Do not build new request and response models before testing. The endpoints Quote.Trade currently provides are intended to be Binance V3 compatible, so the existing bot code should be the starting point. Keep the same handling for each documented endpoint and change only an endpoint or field that proves different in testing.
GET /exchangeInfo
GET /ticker?symbol=BTC
GET /depth?symbol=BTC&limit=100
POST /orderIf the bot calls a Binance endpoint that is not present in the Quote.Trade documentation, that call needs to be removed, replaced, or implemented separately. Compatibility applies to endpoints Quote.Trade actually exposes.
Change WebSocket URLs if the bot uses streams
Set the WebSocket base to wss://app.quote.trade. The documented public liquidity stream is /ws/liquidity, while private order, position, and risk updates use /ws/listenKey. Use the subscription message shown in the current API documentation.
WS_BASE_URL=wss://app.quote.trade
LIQUIDITY_WS_URL=wss://app.quote.trade/ws/liquidity
PRIVATE_WS_URL=wss://app.quote.trade/ws/listenKeyThe bot receives Quote.Trade market data and private account events rather than Binance streams.
Test before live trading
Run the bot against Quote.Trade in this order: public status and exchange information, ticker and depth, authenticated account reads, WebSocket subscriptions, and finally one smallest-practical order. Confirm the order response and private update are handled by the bot's existing Binance models.
The bot completes its normal workflow on Quote.Trade with the endpoint and credential changes. Any remaining change is isolated to a specific unsupported route or hardcoded library behavior.
Common problems and fixes
The library still sends requests to Binance
The hostname is probably hardcoded inside the client constructor or HTTP transport. Use the library's custom base-URL setting or replace the transport URL before requests are built.
The client calls /api/v3 and receives 404
Some Binance libraries append Binance path prefixes automatically. Configure the final Quote.Trade route so that, for example, exchange information resolves to https://app.quote.trade/api/exchangeInfo.
A signed order is rejected
Confirm the bot is using the Quote.Trade key and secret. Then compare its signed request with the current Quote.Trade documentation, including the exact minified JSON body and signature header.
A Binance endpoint is missing
Changing the base URL cannot create an endpoint Quote.Trade does not expose. Keep the compatible endpoints and replace or disable only the unsupported call.
The symbol format is different
Load the current symbol list from /exchangeInfo and use the symbol format returned by Quote.Trade rather than a hardcoded Binance market list.
Answers before you continue
Do I need to rewrite my Binance bot?
Usually not. Start by changing the REST base endpoint to https://app.quote.trade/api and replacing the Binance API key and secret with Quote.Trade credentials. Existing Quote.Trade endpoints are intended to use Binance V3-compatible requests and responses.
Are all Binance endpoints available on Quote.Trade?
No. The endpoints Quote.Trade currently provides are expected to be Binance compatible. A Binance endpoint that Quote.Trade does not expose still requires a code or configuration change.
Can I keep my Binance API keys?
No. Create separate Quote.Trade API credentials and use them only with the Quote.Trade endpoint.
