public/get_instruments

Retrieves available trading instruments. This method can be used to see which instruments are available for trading, or which instruments have recently expired. Note - This method has distinct API rate limiting requirements: Sustained rate: 1 request/second. To avoid rate limits, we recommend using either the REST requests for server-cached data or the WebSocket subscription to instrument_state.. for real-time updates. For more information, see Rate Limits.
