Gate.io

The robomotion gateio CLI connects to the Gate.io exchange for cryptocurrency trading and market data. It supports checking spot prices and 24h tickers, viewing orderbooks, placing market and limit orders, and managing account balances.

When to use

• Get current prices and 24h ticker statistics for trading pairs
• View orderbook depth for any trading pair
• Place limit or market buy/sell orders on Gate.io
• Check account balances and list available trading pairs

Prerequisites

• robomotion CLI installed
• Package installed: robomotion install gateio
• Gate.io API key and secret configured via Robomotion vault

IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations

Each CLI command runs as a separate process — connection IDs from connect do NOT persist across calls. You MUST use --session on connect and pass --session-id to all subsequent commands.

Workflow

1. Install (once): robomotion install gateio
2. Connect with session:

   robomotion gateio gateio_connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   

3. Use the returned client-id and session-id in all subsequent commands:

   robomotion gateio gateio_get_spot_price --client-id "<client-id>" --btc_usdt --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

4. Disconnect when done:

   robomotion gateio gateio_disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

Always append --output json to get structured JSON results.
