API Overview

Paragon markets are accessible via the standard Hyperliquid API. No separate API or authentication required.

Quick start: Use para:BTCD, para:TOTAL2, para:OTHERS, para:AVGO, para:COHR, para:CRDO, para:GLW, para:IREN, or para:LRCX as the coin parameter in any Hyperliquid API call.

Hyperliquid API

All Paragon markets use Hyperliquid's unified API infrastructure:

• REST API: Account info, order placement, position management
• WebSocket: Real-time orderbook, trades, and account updates
