Vessel REST API
The Vessel REST API is structured into two principal categories: Public APIs and User APIs, each offering distinct functionalities.Public APIs#

Without requiring user authentication, these APIs enable the retrieval of live market prices, trading pair information, and other salient details, ensuring easy access to essential data.User APIs#
User APIs Signature (Required): Access to User APIs is secured through mandatory signature-based authentication. These APIs provide comprehensive tools for asset management, order placement, and reviewing order history. This secure framework allows users to interact with their accounts and manage their assets with enhanced efficiency.Note:
Dual Authentication for Order Placement: Placing an order requires dual authentication, utilizing both Poseidon Signature and HMAC Signature. Other operations require only the HMAC Signature.Rate Limiting#

This limit is applied to both the IP address initiating the requests and the individual user accounts, ensuring a secure and balanced usage environment for all API interactions.
