Crypto arbitrage for trading.
As we all know, profitable arbitrage opportunities is the process of the the simultaneous buying and selling of securities, currency, or commodities in different markets or in derivative forms
in order to take advantage of differing prices for the same asset.
As a little reminder, the term "bid" means the highest price a buyer will pay to buy the stock at any given time and the term "ask" means the lowest price at which a seller will sell the stock.
We can play that game with Crypto using arbitrage API provided by Crypto Arbitrage on Rapid API,
to use it you need to get "your-api-key".
