Overview

This Skill provides a developer-ready integration with the OKX cryptocurrency exchange, exposing spot, futures (up to 125x leverage), options, Earn (staking/savings/DeFi), token convert, and Web3 wallet functionality across 300+ trading pairs.

This Skill provides a developer-ready integration with the OKX cryptocurrency exchange, exposing spot, futures (up to 125x leverage), options, Earn (staking/savings/DeFi), token convert, and Web3 wallet functionality across 300+ trading pairs. It includes required environment variables (OKX_API_KEY, OKX_SECRET, OKX_PASSPHRASE), HMAC-SHA256 signature generation, and a base API URL for authenticated requests. Typical uses include automated trading bots, portfolio and balance monitoring, price/ticker feeds, order placement for spot/futures/options, DeFi interactions, and arbitrage strategies. Built-in referral support (REFERRAL_CODE=CYBERPAY) offers commission sharing (up to 50% in USDT), mystery rewards, and lifetime commissions for referred users. Core advantages are secure programmatic access, ready-made curl/snippet examples, and unified access to advanced trading features for production integrations.
