# Build

> The working guides: how accounts, keys, orders, and conformance actually behave.

## Make your first request

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Open the sandbox" icon="key" href="https://sandbox.trdrs.co/developer">
    Sign in, create a free sandbox key, and copy your first catalog request.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Follow the walkthrough" icon="terminal" href="/sandbox">
    Run the request from your terminal, confirm the response, and manage your keys.

The sandbox preview supports the instrument catalog. Trading, account provisioning, live feeds,
and automated conformance runs are not available in it. The capability guides below describe
production integrations and their required access.

## Build your integration

The menu above is organised by what you are building. Most of it is capability — trading, market
data, getting accounts in front of traders. Two of them are not, and they apply to all the rest:
**API Standards** is the contract's cross-cutting rules, read once; **Conformance** is how you prove
your integration follows them before it touches a live account.

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Connect venues / Create venues" icon="building-columns" href="/guides/account-paths">
    The two ways a trader gets an account: connect a venue you already run, or have us create the
    accounts on ours. Whose venue it is turns out to be the only thing that really differs.
  </Card>

  <Card title="API Standards" icon="scale-balanced" href="/partner-platform/overview/keys">
    Keys, authentication, errors, rate limits, idempotency, paging, streaming.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Conformance" icon="clipboard-check" href="/partner-platform/conformance/requirements">
    The checks an integration passes, the evidence, and how to submit it.
