Build on Limitless with REST and WebSocket APIs for programmatic trading, market data, and portfolio management. Base URL: https://api.limitless.exchange Interactive API Docs (Scalar): https://api.limitless.exchange/api-v1 WebSocket URL: wss://ws.limitless.exchange
The /api-v1 path serves the interactive Scalar API documentation. For actual API calls, use the base URL directly (e.g., GET https://api.limitless.exchange/markets/active).
