Standard API

The Standard API is the Trader API on the main Figure Markets web hosts (www.figuremarkets.dev / www.figuremarkets.com), under path /trader. It covers Accounts (portfolio balances and transfer history), Orders ( YLDS placement, order-book reporting, longer-retention history), margin (leverage), and OAuth.

It does not include low-latency order entry on trade.figuremarkets.* — that is Trading (low-latency REST).

You use the same Trader API credentials and bearer token as for low-latency trading, but every call in this section goes to the www.figuremarkets.*/trader, not to trade.figuremarkets.*.

Base path (main domain)​

Standard REST uses the main host — the same hostname as the Figure Markets web app — plus /trader.

  • UAT: https://www.figuremarkets.dev/trader
  • Production: https://www.figuremarkets.com/trader

Paths in this section are relative to that base (for example GET /api/v2/accounts/balances, POST /api/v1/margin, GET /api/v1/orders/trades). Full URL = REST base + path.

Send Authorization: Bearer {access_token} on every request. OAuth uses the same base: in UAT, POST https://www.figuremarkets.dev/auth/oauth2/token (not on the trade.figuremarkets.* host). See Authentication — Obtaining an access token.

Versioning: We do not remove fields or change types for existing keys within a given API version. We may add new fields without a version bump. See API versioning for the full policy.
