Machine-readable specifications, ready-to-run collections and the long-form documents behind this site. Everything here is versioned with the API and refreshed on each documentation revision.

Machine-readable

Item	Format	Use
OpenAPI 3.1 description	JSON	Generate a typed client, or import into your API tooling. Served live by the venue, so it always matches the deployed build.
Interactive API console	Web	Execute any REST endpoint against the sandbox. Requests are signed in your browser, so you can exercise the API before writing a signer.
Postman collection	JSON	Every endpoint with an auto-signing pre-request script. Set your key and secret as collection variables and send. The Postman quickstart walks through the setup and a suggested demo flow.

Integration manuals

Self-contained briefs written to be handed to a coding assistant such as Claude Code, or read directly by an engineer. The transport manuals each cover one transport end to end, including acceptance tests and the mistakes that actually occur in practice; the combined pack covers the whole native (REST + WebSocket) integration in one file.

Document	Covers
REST integration manual	Signing, endpoints, order bodies, idempotency, the retry matrix, acceptance tests.
WebSocket integration manual	Both sockets, every operation and channel, delivery guarantees, gap frames, the reconnect procedure, pipelining.
FIX 4.4 integration manual	Codec rules, session layer, order entry and execution reports, drop copy, market data, conformance checklist.
Combined integration pack	The whole native (REST + WebSocket) integration in one file: signing, contract sizing, batch order entry, position seeding and reconciliation, recovery, rate limits, the full error registry, plus choosing a transport (with measured latency) and the FIX market-data decisions.

Handbooks and reference

Document	Covers
Member technical handbook	The trading manual: instrument mechanics, every order type, margin and fees, the venue-initiated flow, limits, credential scopes, recovery.
Member API reference	The long-form wire reference with the versioning policy and changelog.
Complete code reference	Every numeric code, WebSocket close code and enumerated value, with client handling guidance.
FIX rules of engagement	The session contract counterparties certify against.
Member portal user guide	The web portal for a member's operations staff: every tab from account overview to reports, venue inquiries, and self-onboarding.
Conformance test plan	The certification standard: what a member system is tested on before production credentials are issued. Scoped by role and transport, and deliberately rejection-first, since the point is how your system handles what the venue refuses, not the happy path.

Legal and operational
