Calling a public endpoint

To dive right in you can start by trying a call to one of Paradex’s public endpoints:

1
import requests
2
headers = {
3
  'Accept': 'application/json'
4
}
5
6
r = requests.get('https://api.prod.paradex.trade/v1/markets', headers = headers)
7
8
print(r.json())

Interacting with private endpoint

To interact with private Paradex endpoints you need to onboard and generate a JSON Web Token (JWT) before making API requests. JWTs are a secure way to transmit information between parties. Please refer to the Authentication chapter and onboarding and authentication code samples.
