# Quidax Exchange API > Live spot market data from Quidax, a leading Nigerian crypto exchange, served straight from its public ticker feed — no key on the data, nothing cached, nothing stored. Look up any market for its last price, best bid/ask and spread, 24h open/high/low, 24h change and base/quote volume; rank every market for a quote currency (Nigerian naira NGN, USDT or USD) by 24h turnover; or list the tradable pairs with their base and quote. Markets are addressed as BTCNGN or BTC_NGN. This is the Quidax venue specifically — a distinct Nigerian-naira price feed for a high-adoption African market, ideal for NGN price discovery and Africa-market arbitrage, separate from the USD/USDT-quoted exchange APIs in the catalogue. Ticker-only: Quidax exposes no public order book, so the best bid/ask travel inside the ticker. ## Authentication All requests require your oanor API key in the `x-oanor-key` header.
