# Get started

True Markets lets you trade crypto, stablecoins and tokenized stocks from code. Which API you use depends on who trades.

Using a coding agent? Give it the docs index at [llms.txt](https://docs.truemarkets.co/llms.txt). Gateway needs the [Authentication](https://docs.truemarkets.co/openapi/auth.yaml), [Accounts](https://docs.truemarkets.co/openapi/account.yaml) and [Trading REST](https://docs.truemarkets.co/openapi/gateway.yaml) specs; the Trading API needs the first and last. [Build with agents](https://docs.truemarkets.co/getting-started/build-with-agents) has the rest.

## Pick your path

- [Trading API](https://docs.truemarkets.co/trading-api/quickstart): Trade your own account from code.
- [Gateway](https://docs.truemarkets.co/gateway/quickstart): Let your customers trade inside your app.
- [Institutional](https://docs.truemarkets.co/institutional/overview): Connect your firm to the exchange over REST or FIX.
- [Market data](https://docs.truemarkets.co/market-data/overview): Read prices and candles. No account needed.

> **Every account trades with real funds**
> 
> There is no test mode. Keep your first trades small.

## Next steps

-   [Create an account](https://docs.truemarkets.co/getting-started/create-an-account) for the path you picked.
-   [Build with agents](https://docs.truemarkets.co/getting-started/build-with-agents) to give a coding assistant these docs or live prices.
-   Email [support@truemarkets.co](mailto:support@truemarkets.co) for help, and include the `request_id` from any error.
