Tide API Reference

Welcome to the Tide API reference documentation. This section provides detailed information about all available endpoints, organized by functionality.

​
Base URL

All API requests should be made to: 
https://api.tide.ag
Public API: The Tide API is currently open. You can call https://api.tide.ag without creating dashboard API keys or sending Tide authentication headers. Trading and account flows still use exchange-specific credentials (for example Lighter API keys or a registered server wallet) where documented on each endpoint.

​
Authentication

You do not need Tide dashboard API keys to access the API server today. When signed requests are enabled for the Tide API, private endpoints will expect HTTP headers like: 
X-API-KEY: your_api_key
X-API-SECRET: your_api_secret
X-API-TIMESTAMP: unix_timestamp_ms
X-API-SIGNATURE: hmac_sha256_signature

Tide Dashboard

Optional: open the app for wallets, monitoring, and future API access controls
