Read-only API (enable spot and contract read), plus CSV
About importing from MEXC
MEXC offers an enormous spot listing of new and small-cap tokens plus futures. Spot and contract permissions are managed separately on its API keys.
Connect read/view permissions for spot and order history, or upload CSVs. New-token symbols are normalised even when they list ahead of other venues.
