API Overview
Choose the API surface for market discovery, trading, analytics, or live data
The Kuest platform exposes separate APIs for public metadata, CLOB trading, portfolio analytics, and real-time updates. Choose one based on the data or action you need rather than treating the platform as a single endpoint.

Authentication
Public discovery, order-book, pricing, and most analytics endpoints do not require credentials. Private CLOB actions use:
- L1 authentication — a wallet signature that proves control of the address and creates or derives credentials.
- L2 authentication — API key, secret, and passphrase used to sign private requests.
Order placement also requires the order payload itself to be signed.
Start with an SDK if your language is supported. It handles credential derivation, request signing, and typed payloads while using the same APIs documented here.
