About dYdX

dYdX provides integration documentation for developers building trading applications, bots, analytics tools, and platforms that connect to the dYdX exchange. It covers REST and WebSocket API references along with integration guides, and offers quick-start materials for Python, TypeScript, and Rust libraries to automate trading, including fetching market data and placing and managing orders.

The documentation addresses real-time data streaming through WebSocket connections for live market and account data, orderbook watching, and full node streaming. It also covers displaying market, order, and position data within applications using the Indexer HTTP API, and includes guides for market data and account data.

Additional sections cover accessing account information, balances, and positions through the Indexer Accounts API, private Node API methods for authenticated actions, wallet setup, account and subaccount management, permissioned keys, and an onboarding FAQ.
