API Key (Get Key via Telegram)
SERVER LOCATION
AWS Seoul (ap-northeast-2) / AWS Tokyo (ap-northeast-1)
1. Connect & Authenticate
You must send an authentication message immediately after establishing the WebSocket connection If authentication is not completed within 5 secondsthe connection will automatically terminate
To receive notices from a specific exchange only, add theexchange field.
⚠️ Notes
wss://kr.pkcryptolisting.com(Korea) endpoint supports only UPBIT · BITHUMB.
wss://tokyo.pkcryptolisting.com(Tokyo) endpoint supports all exchanges including UPBIT · BITHUMB · BINANCE · BYBIT .

2. Auth Response
On success, plan, delay, and expiry information are returned.
✓ Success (auth_ok)
{
  "type":       "auth_ok",
  "plan":       "premium",
  "delay_ms":   0,
  "expires_at": "2026-06-30",
  "message":   "Connected..."
}
✕ Failure (error)
{
  "type":    "error",
  "code":    4004,
  "message": "Invalid key"
}
3. Receiving Messages
Once authenticated, new announcements will be received automatically. async for will automatically break the loop when the connection terminates.
