Overview

The ORCA API offers REST-like HTTP APIs for creating a comprehensive stock market investment and trading platform. It supports real-time order execution (equities, commodities, and derivatives), user portfolio management, and live market data streaming via WebSockets. Inputs use form-encoded parameters, and most responses are in JSON format. HTTP codes indicate success or errors, accompanied by JSON data. Note that API endpoints lack cross-site request enablement, requiring a whitelist from ORCA for direct browser calls.

The ORCA API is an advanced platform for developing trading and investment services. It includes REST-like APIs for seamless integration with the trading platform. Users can execute orders in real-time, modify portfolios, access live market data, and more, leveraging a swift API collection.

Resource-based URLs accept JSON or form-encoded requests, consistently returning responses in JSON. Standard HTTP codes, verbs, and authentication ensure robust API interaction.

Start your application development on the ORCA platform with a comprehensive set of REST APIs, providing essential data for an extensive investment and trading platform. Empower users to execute real-time orders, manage portfolios efficiently, stream live market data via WebSockets, and more, in a user-friendly and easily comprehensible manner.

Design’s in the New API :

  • Define the new endpoints, specifying the URL structure and HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.).
  • Plan the request and response payloads, including data formats (JSON).
  • Consider authentication and authorization mechanisms (JWT).
