Retail APIs
Recommended for most integrations
The simplest way to access True Markets liquidity. The Retail API is an intelligent routing layer that abstracts away the complexity of CeFi/DeFi execution — you send an order, we handle the rest.
What it handles for you:
- Choosing between CeFi and DeFi execution based on price, liquidity, and your portfolio
- Bridging assets cross-chain or between CeFi and DeFi as needed
- Best price discovery across all connected venues in a single request
REST-based. No need to manage wallets, bridges, or chain selection directly.
Institutional APIs
Institutionally focused, open to all
Directly trade on our centralized exchange, built for high-performance trading with institutional-grade reliability and compliance. Open to all traders who require direct market access.
- Protocols: FIX, REST, WebSocket
- Use cases: Market data, order entry, account management
- Custody: Qualified custodian
Not yet ported in this PoC: the WebSocket (AsyncAPI) and FIX references, and the CeFi exchange documentation. WebSocket rendering will use
@asyncapi/react-component; FIX docs are plain markdown to bring over as-is.
Access requirements: Secure connectivity required — VPN, AWS PrivateLink, or VPC peering. Email [email protected] for network onboarding, or join the Discord for general questions.
