Existing clients of Definitive's trading platform can use this REST API to:

* Incorporate Definitive's trading capabilities into internal trading tools
* Access Post-Trade Reporting data directly via API
* Build products and tools leveraging existing Definitive trading vault wallet infra

### <mark style="color:orange;">**Welcome to the Definitive Trading API**</mark>

The **Definitive Trading API** gives developers and builders access to all of the **institutional-grade execution** and **automated trade analytics** found in our advanced trading UI.

Built for institutions, protocols, dApps, and AI agents, the API lets you **execute trades across 200+ liquidity venues**, access **advanced order types**, and retrieve **post-trade data** — without the headache of building execution logic, routing algorithms, or parsing block explorer data yourself.

### ⚙️ <mark style="color:orange;">Features</mark>

### **Deep Liquidity Aggregation**

When you place an order on Definitive we ensure institutional-grade, **multi-venue** execution by automatically routing orders across 100+ DEXs, PMMs, Liquidity Pools, Contracts, and Aggregators.

Our API provides instant quotes and breakdowns of execution venues for the fills involved.

### **Advanced Order Types**

Definitive supports onchain Market, Limit, TWAP, and Stop order types. Build advanced execution strategies through a unified, low-friction API.

### **Intent Masking**

Definitive is the only platform that offers onchain Market, Limit, TWAP, and Stop orders while keeping intent off-chain.

Unlike traditional protocols that expose strategy details onchain )risking frontrunning and MEV) Definitive separates order creation from execution. This architecture allows you to express complex trading logic without leaking sensitive intent to the network, preserving alpha and improving execution quality.

### **Gasless Execution**

With Definitive, users never worry about gas fees. By leveraging account-abstraction we are able to remove the friction of gas-sponsorship so you can focus fully on trading.

### **Post-Trade Reporting Analytics**

Every trade routed through Definitive returns:

* **Fill Time**
* **Fill Size**
* **Detailed Price Breakdown**
* **Execution Venues**
* **Fee Details**

Skip hours of parsing block explorers with Definitive’s automated post-trade data.
