Trader API

The Trader API covers low-latency trading on trade.figuremarkets.com and standard (REST) API on the www.figuremarkets.com/trader (Accounts, Orders, margin, YLDS, OAuth).

This is intended for use by API traders (individuals and institutions).

Rate limiting and usage expectations match the shared Rate limits and best practices guide (Public, Trader, and Partner).

What you need

A passported account that will be used to create Trader API credentials (OAuth2 client ID and secret, then opaque Bearer access token). Access is gated at the API gateway for API traders. Only one API access type applies per account.

Getting started

  1. Getting started — onboarding, consent, API keys
  2. Authentication — Trader API credentials and token
  3. Trading — low-latency trading (dedicated spec)
  4. Standard API: Accounts · Orders · Leverage (margin)
