Developer guides

Everything you need to drive 10ex programmatically. Each guide is short, opinionated, and focused on the one decision you came here to make.

• Authentication: JWT vs API keys
• API keys: minting, scopes, rotation
• Pagination: list endpoint conventions
• Webhooks: subscribing to platform events
• Rate limits: current limits and 429 behavior
• MCP setup: Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code

Where do I start as a new developer?

If you’re integrating 10ex for the first time, do these in order:

1. Get an API key (ask your admin until self-serve ships).
2. Verify it with a GET /api/v1/me call.
3. Pick a transport: REST for backend jobs, MCP for agent-driven flows.
4. Wire up webhooks so you don’t have to poll.
