Well, it sounds so until it doesn\u2019t. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you don\u2019t care about bots, or precisely, auto trading, trading on MEXC is ideal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, for developers who wish to automate their trading activity, MEXC is turning out to be the worst place to trade from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">More than three years ago, on July 25, 2022, MEXC <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mexc.com\/api-docs\/futures\/update-log\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">disabled<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> its crypto futures APIs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On their update logs, MEXC said it was temporary and developers have to, instead, use \u201cquery endpoints\u201d without trading functions until the futures API comes back online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The problem is that hours turned into days, weeks, months, and now, three years later, Redditors want MEXC to clarify whether they will activate crypto futures APIs or if the feature is no longer available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Without a functional API from a mega exchange, developers can\u2019t feed their bots with real-time data access needed for algos to analyze trends or execute trades instantly. What\u2019s more? Without APIs, it is impossible to automatically track balances, margins, and positions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Understand Trading API in 5 mins\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q1lP4S0Tm3U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Venting on Reddit <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/CryptoCurrency\/comments\/1omtlbf\/mexcs_futures_api_has_been_temporarily_disabled\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">seemed<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to be the last resort because it appears that MEXC has been ignoring this complaint for years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Some claim that MEXC\u2019s disabling of crypto futures APIs is deliberate and a control tactic, as they don\u2019t want external market makers to compete with their own.

This trading pattern, the exchange emphasized, was in breach of their TOS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, the trader fought back, <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheWhiteWhaleV2\/status\/1960065887249318254\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">saying<\/a> he didn\u2019t use any bot and he was willing to prove his claim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After weeks of mixed responses from MEXC, including demand for an in-person meeting, ZachXBT, the onchain sleuth, investigated White Whale\u2019s claims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">That was in late October. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">By the end of last month, MEXC was <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cecilia_hsueh\/status\/1984291339257647176\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">forced<\/a> to release White Whale\u2019s funds.
