Bitget Expands Open API to Global CFD Markets

Bitget, one of the world's largest Universal Exchanges (UEX), has expanded its Open API infrastructure to support Contracts for Difference (CFDs). This allows quantitative, algorithmic, and API traders to access global markets including gold, forex, stock indices, and crude oil alongside cryptocurrency. The expansion addresses a practical challenge for multi-asset traders who often rely on separate systems, data flows, and execution workflows.

Existing Bitget API users can now extend their strategy frameworks into CFD markets without building a separate connection for those assets. This brings more of their research, monitoring, and execution into the same API environment.

Through the CFD Open API, users can automate order execution, access account and real-time market data, transfer funds, and manage trading parameters including take-profit and stop-loss settings. This enables API users to manage programmatic strategies across crypto and CFD markets through Bitget's broader trading infrastructure.
