Choose the walkthrough for your job. Trading your own accounts, building an app on Connect and running a prop firm or brokerage each start with a different key. Use this page before you create your first key, so you create the one your job needs. Every walkthrough below runs in the sandbox.

Make your first request

Trade your own accounts

Create a Trading API key, make one authenticated read and select the account your program will trade.

Build on Connect

Create a Connect app and its API key, open hosted Connect for a test trader and route their first order.

Set up a venue

Create your prop firm or brokerage’s venue, check its Venue key and bring in your team.
Create Venue keys on the API keys page of the installed back office, and Trading API keys in your trdrs profile’s API access. Create a Connect app’s API keys in the Connect dashboard. Keep every key on your server. Keys and authentication explains what each key reaches.

The Guides section groups tasks by what you’re building. Use Market data for prices and streams, Trading for orders and positions, and Run a venue for instruments, groups and account rules. If you’re building screens, Build a front end covers the browser and backend, and SDKs and tools shows the tools you can use. The API reference overview helps you find individual endpoints.
