API Quick start
Calling a public endpoint
To dive right in you can start by trying a call to one of Paradex’s public endpoints:
List available markets
GET
Get markets static data component
Query parameters
market
Market Name - example: BTC-USD-PERP
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.
