If you are still using spot API for data interaction, you need to pay attention. A leading exchange is optimizing its spot API architecture, and the listenKey system will be officially phased out, with the deadline set for 15:00 on February 20, 2026 (UTC+8).

This adjustment will affect several commonly used interfaces: the REST API endpoints POST /api/v3/userDataStream, PUT /api/v3/userDataStream, and DELETE /api/v3/userDataStream will be discontinued; on the WebSocket side, userDataStream.start, userDataStream.ping, and userDataStream.stop will also be affected.

If your strategy or trading tools rely on these interfaces to fetch user data or maintain connections, now is the time to start exploring alternative solutions. There is still some lead time, but don’t wait until the last minute to react. The exchange has already detailed this in the API update log, and developers involved in related projects are advised to review the documentation promptly and plan for system migration in advance.

Damn, do I have to change the API again? I just migrated it last year. Does this exchange have a brain?

Is this set again? I've heard that listenKey is going offline a long time ago, but does anyone still use this old stuff? Hurry up and change it. Wait, which exchange is doing this now? Constant optimization every day, so annoying. Deadline is only February 2026? Still early, but it's indeed time to act in advance. Don't be caught off guard later. Ha, developer nightmare moment again, frequent API adjustments are just a waste of life. listenKey really should retire, it's time. Another system migration? When will this ever end? I just want to know if the alternatives are reliable. Is all this constant tinkering really worth it?

Another major API overhaul, listenKey is going offline. This time, we really need to get moving. Oh my, more code changes. Who planned this timing? Wait, there's still more than a year left. No need to panic now. It's about time to clean up these old interfaces. The historical baggage is too heavy. Pushing everyone to work overtime, the exchange is serious this time.
