# Introduction



The Tradejini REST API is a set of HTTP APIs that provide everything needed to build a trading platform — order management, market data, account information, and real-time streaming. The APIs are language-agnostic and work with any HTTP client.

**Base URL:** `https://api.tradejini.com/v2`

***

## Getting Started [#getting-started]

Follow these steps to make your first API call:

1. **Create a Tradejini trading account** — An active retail trading account is required before API access can be enabled.
2. **Register an app** in the <a href="`${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL}/developer-portal`" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" className="doc-link">Apps</a> to obtain your `api_key` and `api_secret`. See [App Creation](/docs/app-creation/individual-apps) for step-by-step instructions.
3. **Authenticate** using the appropriate flow for your app type. See [Authorization Flow](/docs/authorization-flow/individual-apps) for a walkthrough.
4. **Make authenticated API calls** by passing `Authorization: Bearer <api_key>:<access_token>` in every request. See [API Basics](/docs/api-basics) for the full request/response reference.
