# Publish a stage policy

> Private preview, disabled unless VENUE_CONFIGURATION_ENABLED is enabled and the vault is configured. This branch has not enabled these routes in the public sandbox. Existing trdrs_sk partner/tenant keys do not authorize these routes. Requires stage:advance. Publishing applies nothing; activate it separately. An identical retry recovers the same version and a changed body conflicts - so the same key with an easier target is refused rather than silently reporting success. A session timezone the runtime cannot resolve is refused here rather than at the first trading-day boundary, where it would file every fill under the wrong day.

    ## API Reference


    This is the served OpenAPI contract for the trdrs engine: market data,
    trading and account

    routes for your firm's traders, trdrs Connect account-registration handoff,
    and preview

    challenge routes.


    See Quick Start for the first integration path: key setup, market config,
    chart data, Connect

    account registrations, idempotency, stream reconnects, and conformance.


    See Overview and API Standards for the cross-cutting contract rules.

    description: >-
      Disabled private-preview venue configuration APIs.
      VENUE_CONFIGURATION_ENABLED and a vault are required. Every route
      documented here under /api/partner/ is also served under /api/operator/ to
      a verified owner session, by the same router with a different credential:
      a browser must never hold a venue key, so an operator console reaches the
      identical checks that way rather than through a second copy of this
      surface. Not part of the stable public contract until qualification and
      release; existing partner APIs remain unchanged.
  - name: Market data
    description: >-
      Symbol search and resolution, OHLCV history, quote snapshots, the server
      clock, and the live bar stream. Crypto rides each venue’s public feed;
      futures stream from the caller’s own connected Rithmic account. With none
      connected, futures requests answer 503 `feed_requires_connection`.
  - name: News
    description: >-
      Aggregated market news and the economic calendar, from licensed/open
      sources, keyword-tagged with futures roots at ingest. Platform-wide
      content (nothing per-user), admitted exactly like Market data: a licensed
      origin, a session, or a firm API key. Headlines page by published time,
      scope by instrument root, and stream live over SSE; thumbnails serve
      through the image proxy.
  - name: Trading
    description: >-
      The money surface: entries, exits, replaces, cancels, and position/account
      flattening. Every order-placing call uses `clientOrderId` as its
      idempotency key.
  - name: Account
    description: >-
      Reading a connected account. You do not create trading accounts here: a
      trader connects their own broker account (or creates a free demo account)
      in the app, and firms create evaluation accounts through the Partner API
      (Firm accounts → Create evaluation accounts) or register venue accounts
      through Connect (Create an account registration). Account state and the
      durable ledgers: balances, positions, working orders, fills, P&L history,
      and the live account stream.
  - name: Connect
    description: >-
      trdrs Connect account registration, for partner firms. Register an account
      you issued on your own venue — a pending account registration — with the
      trader’s sign-in email, optionally the venue account id and the login name
      your venue issued. The trader finds it waiting in the connect flow the
      moment they sign in with that email: the connect step is pre-filled with
      everything except the credential, which the trader always enters
      themselves. A registration never transmits a password and never grants
      access to anything before the trader’s own login succeeds. These routes
      answer a partner-scoped key only; a firm API key or a user session gets
      401. Registrations expire after 30 days; re-registering the same email +
      account refreshes the expiry instead of duplicating. The end-to-end flow
      guide is **[Quick Start](/docs/guides/quick-start)**.
  - name: Firm accounts
    description: >-
      Evaluation accounts your firm issues on the trdrs venue, through your
      partner key — the other half of account setup. Connect registrations hand
      off accounts that exist on your venue; these routes create and manage
      accounts on ours: the trader trades them on trdrs, and your firm owns the
      lifecycle. Every route is scoped to accounts your firm created through
      this API — an account the same trader opened themselves is invisible and
      untouchable here, by construction. Creation is batched with per-item
      results, and every write carries your own `referenceId`, so a crashed
      pipeline retries safely. Served when the deployment runs the prop engine;
      without it, every route in this group answers `404`.
  - name: Webhooks
    description: >-
      The outbound event bus: register an https endpoint and the platform pushes
      events to it instead of your back office polling us. Every delivery is
      signed (`trdrs-signature: t=<unix>,v1=<hmac-sha256>` over
      `${t}.${rawBody}`) so you can prove it came from us and is fresh, and
      every delivery is durable — a failed attempt is retried with backoff for
      about nine hours and the whole log is readable, so an endpoint that was
      down is a delay rather than a lost event. Serves brokers and prop firms
      alike: the account-registration (`registration.*`) events fire wherever
      Connect does, and the account events fire where the prop engine runs.
  - name: Challenges
    description: >-
      The prop evaluation surface: challenge programs and a trader’s own
      enrollments. **Preview: the one group on this page outside the
      additive-only guarantee** (the pre-contract v1 scaffold; the Phase-1
      rebuild will change these shapes; see Stability). **Cookie-authenticated,
      not key-authenticated**, and served only when the engine runs with
      `CHALLENGES_ENABLED`; without that flag the bundle is absent and every
      route below returns `404`. The firm-console/admin half of this surface is
      deliberately not documented here. It is back office, not licensed surface.
