    What is OKX?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    OKXis an online cryptocurrency exchange platform that allows traders to trade over 250 coins and tokens. OKX comes equipped with its own Cloud service and the ability to partake in Spot, Margin, and Futures trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Is OKX API free?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Signing up for OKX and testing out its API is completely free. The fees come in when you start trading with the OKX API. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The fee structure of OKX is more complex than most other online cryptocurrency exchanges. The first thing that dictates the fees is the type of user you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are mainly two types of OKX users – the regular and VIP ones. For regular users, the fee structure is based on the amount of your total OKB holding (OKX native cryptocurrency). Here is how the SPOT fee tiers look:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For the VIP users, the fee structure is dictated by your monthly trading volume expressed in USD. There are 7 tiers for the VIP users and all follow a maker\/taker fee structure. Below you can see how the fee structure looks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The same thing goes for the Futures market but the fee structures are different. Below you will find two tables where the first one is for regular users, while the second one is for VIP users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
