MEXC Futures REST

Workflow

Use scripts/mexc_futures_request.py for request construction and signing. Resolve scripts/... relative to this skill folder. Never ask the user to paste API keys into chat, command arguments, source files, logs, or screenshots.

1. Use the quick commands below first for common tasks. Do not open references or run broad text searches until a quick command or lookup slice is insufficient.
2. Use MEXC_API_KEY and MEXC_API_SECRET env vars only; the helper enforces credential loading, signed-param placement, redacted dry-runs, method/path/base-url validation, and live-write confirmation.
3. Use GET /api/v1/contract/detail to confirm contract metadata, precision, leverage limits, and availability before trading.
4. MEXC is live-only: use tiny sizes and --execute --confirm-live only when clearly requested.
5. Prefer python scripts/lookup.py <topic> over opening full references; for balance/account questions, start with python scripts/lookup.py balance.

Quick Commands

python scripts/mexc_futures_request.py GET /api/v1/contract/ping
python scripts/mexc_futures_request.py GET /api/v1/private/account/assets --signed
python scripts/mexc_futures_request.py GET /api/v1/private/account/assets --signed --execute

Rules

• Use GET /api/v1/private/account/assets --signed --execute for the current Futures balance snapshot.
• Use python scripts/lookup.py balance to retrieve compact balance/account commands without loading references/recipes.md or references/endpoints.md.
• Futures order placement requires KYC and account-side permission; prefer externalOid.
• Back off on rate limits and honor retry guidance when returned.

Verification

After helper edits, run python scripts/mexc_futures_request.py --self-test.
