API Keys

API keys for programmatic trading

API Keys are only registered at Trading Account level with tradeonly permissions. Each API key needs to be tagged to a valid Ethereum public address.

How to authenticate using API keys?

• You will receive a session token by authenticating against your API key. This session token must be used then used in your read and write requests.

How to authorize transactions using API keys?

• Each API key must be tagged to a valid Ethereum address. There are two ways of doing so

  • Input (Secure): You possess a public/private key pair. You provide the public address, while only you have access to the secret private key.

  • Generate (Convenient): The GRVT front-end client generates a public/private key pair in your browser and allows you to copy the secret private key. GRVT does not store the private key after it is generated.

• The Secret Private key must be used to sign orders using EIP-712 signing method.
