# Spot Market

Read public spot market data from HTX. **No API key required**; all endpoints are public.

## When to use

- Query a single symbol's real-time price, 24h change, volume
- Pull klines (minute / hour / day / week / month periods)
- View order book depth (bid/ask 5/10/20 levels)
- Market-wide scan (snapshot of all symbol tickers)
- Look up currency / symbol metadata (precision, minimum order size)

## Quick start

```bash
# Query BTC/USDT latest market data
htx-cli spot-market market-detail-merged -p symbol=btcusdt

# Pull last 100 ETH/USDT 4h klines
htx-cli spot-market kline -p symbol=ethusdt -p period=4hour -p size=100

# Query market-wide tickers
htx-cli spot-market tickers
```
