# Introduction

The RWA API is a RESTful API for Anchored tokenized stock trading. It covers market data, portfolio, orders, cash deposits and withdrawals, and optional One Click delegated execution.

## Capabilities

* **43 endpoints** across market data, portfolio, orders, cash, stock, and One Click
* **Market and limit orders** with self-submit or delegated execution
* **Deposits and withdrawals** of cash tokens
* **Portfolio** balances and stock positions
* **Multi-chain mainnet**: Base, Monad, and Ethereum
* **Testnets**: Monad Testnet and Base Sepolia
* **HMAC-SHA256** request authentication

## Audience

Partner developers integrating RWA trading APIs for order submission, cash operations, and portfolio reconciliation.

Read [product-and-contracts.md](/trading-api/getting-started/product-and-contracts.md) first for the on-chain model (`StockRouter`, `Cashier`, `Stock`, settlement, portfolio balances). Then use [trader-questions.md](/trading-api/getting-started/trader-questions.md) as the practical API integration playbook.

## Before you begin

Obtain an API key and secret, configure IP whitelist, and confirm `chainId + productType + access` scopes. See [authenticate/headers-and-permissions.md](/trading-api/authentication/headers-and-permissions.md).
