CLI

What the CLI supports:

• Fetch live and historical market data
• Manage trading accounts and vaults
• Place, monitor, and cancel orders
• Track positions, balances, and funding payments

AI Agent Integration

AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Gemini, Goose, and OpenClaw can use CLI directly to interact with Paradex APIs — no separate server needed.

Try It

Paste these prompts directly into your AI assistant:

“Use paradex_cli to check my open positions and summarize my current exposure across all markets.”

“Fetch the last 24 hours of BTC and ETH funding rates using paradex_cli and tell me which position would have been more profitable to hold.”

“Using paradex_cli on testnet, open a small BTC long, check my account margin, and explain the risk.”
