REST API — Conventions and Authenticated Endpoints#

API conventions (base URLs, path prefixes, response envelope, headers, rate limits, data types, pagination) and authenticated endpoints for the Seesaw indexer.

• Base URL (production): https://api.seesaw.markets

A machine-readable OpenAPI 3.0 specification is available alongside these docs at api-reference/openapi.yaml for generating clients and tooling.

Path Prefixes and Versioning#

The canonical REST base path is:

/api/v1/<endpoint>

The /v2/... paths are fee/referral feature paths inside API v1, so their canonical form is /api/v1/v2/... (for example, GET /api/v1/v2/fee-config). Older root-level aliases remain served for compatibility: /v2/..., /tx/..., /orders?tx=..., /config, /trades, /orderbook/top, /status, and /admin/.... Those aliases return Deprecation: true, Link: </api/v1/...>; rel="canonical", and X-Seesaw-Canonical-Path headers. New integrations should use /api/v1 forms only.

The ops endpoints /health, /ready, and /metrics remain root-level and are not part of the versioned REST API.

Endpoint pages in this section write paths without a prefix; prepend /api/v1 unless a row explicitly says it is an operational root endpoint.

The web application also owns private same-origin Next.js app routes: /api/rpc for browser RPC proxying, /api/pyth for the Pyth stream proxy, and /api/health for web health checks. These are not indexer REST API aliases and should be referenced through deployment configuration or client helpers.

Response Format#

Success response#

Standard endpoints wrap their payload in a data envelope:

{
  "data": { ... }
}

A few diagnostic endpoints (/config, /orderbook/top, /trades, /orders?tx=..., /health) return their payload unwrapped (no data envelope). Each endpoint page shows the exact shape.

Error response#

{
  "error": "Market not found",
  "code": "NOT_FOUND"
}

Some validation errors include an optional details field. Error responses never expose internal state, stack traces, or database details.

Common Headers#

Request headers#

Response headers#

Rate Limits#

All windows default to 60 seconds (RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_MS).

Public market reads cover markets, market detail, order book, trades/fills, resolution fields on market detail, /status, /config, and /stats/platform. Use PUBLIC_READ_RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_MS to set a separate read window; when it is unset, it follows RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_MS.

WebSocket connections: default max 10 per IP (WS_MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_IP), 1000 total (WS_MAX_CLIENTS). These are deployment-configurable, not per-tier.

Requests that exceed a limit receive 429 with a Retry-After header. Handlers that run longer than 30 seconds return 504 with code TIMEOUT.

Data Types#

All token amounts and share quantities are strings of integer base units (settlement-mint base units, e.g. 6 decimals for USDT). Prices are integer basis points in [0, 10000] on the canonical YES book.

Market (list item)#

interface MarketListItem {
  id: string;
  address: string; // market PDA (base58)
  marketId: string; // epoch id = floor(unix_time / duration)
  pythFeed: string | null; // push-oracle feed address; pull-mode markets store no address
  pythFeedId: string | null; // 32-byte Pyth feed id (hex, no 0x prefix) — PDA seed
  state: number; // 0=Pending, 1=Created, 2=Trading, 3=Settling, 4=Resolved, 5=Closed
  outcome: number | null;
  tStart: string; // ISO timestamp
  tEnd: string;
  startPrice: string | null;
  startPriceConf: string | null;
  startPriceExpo: number | null;
  endPrice: string | null;
  endPriceConf: string | null;
  endPriceExpo: number | null;
  creator: string | null; // PDA seed; needed for lifecycle cranks
  durationSeconds: string | null; // u64 as string; PDA seed
  maxConfidenceRatioBps: number | null;
  totalVolume: string;
  totalTrades: number;
  totalPositions: number;
  bestBid: number | null; // bps
  bestAsk: number | null; // bps
}

The market detail endpoint adds share totals, mints, settlement mint, accumulatedCreatorFees, and the live fee-curve parameters feeConfig: { feeCapBps, decayRateBps } — see Endpoints.

Orderbook level#

interface OrderbookLevel {
  price: number; // bps
  quantity: string; // base units, aggregated at this level
  orders: number; // resting order count at this level
}

Position#

interface Position {
  id: number;
  address: string;
  marketAddress: string;
  owner: string;
  market: { pythFeed: string | null; state: number; outcome: number | null };
  yesShares: string;
  noShares: string;
  collateralDeposited: string;
  totalBought: string;
  totalSold: string;
  settled: boolean;
  payout: string;
  currentYesPrice: number; // bps; mid of best bid/ask, with fallbacks
}

Order#

interface Order {
  id: number;
  orderId: string;
  marketAddress: string;
  marketId: string;
  settlementMint: string;
  owner: string;
  side: 'yes' | 'no';
  sideCode: number; // 0=buy_yes, 1=sell_yes, 2=buy_no, 3=sell_no
  sideLabel: 'buy_yes' | 'sell_yes' | 'buy_no' | 'sell_no';
  isYes: boolean;
  priceBps: number;
  quantity: string;
  filledQuantity: string;
  status: 'open' | 'filled' | 'cancelled' | 'expired' | 'pending_cancel' | 'cancel_failed';
  statusCode: number;
  orderType: number;
  createdAt: string | null;
  updatedAt: string | null;
}

Trade#

Trades are returned with snake_case fields (market_address, price_bps, taker_fee, protocol_treasury_index, …) — see Endpoints → Trades.

Pagination#

List endpoints use offset-based pagination:

GET /api/v1/markets?limit=20&offset=0

Responses include pagination info inside the data envelope:

{
  "data": {
    "markets": [...],
    "total": 250,
    "limit": 50,
    "offset": 0
  }
}

Authentication#

Authenticated endpoints require a Solana wallet signature. The server verifies an Ed25519 signature over a structured auth message on every authenticated request.

Required headers for authenticated routes:

Auth message format:

The x-wallet-message value is a JSON string containing these fields:

{
  "domain": "api.seesaw.markets",
  "chain": "solana",
  "timestamp": 1706745600,
  "action": "GET /positions",
  "nonce": "unique-random-string"
}

• domain is the server's hostname (e.g. api.seesaw.markets).
• chain is the signed wallet-chain binding. Solana beta clients sign "solana". Legacy messages without this field are treated as Solana-only, but a supplied x-wallet-chain header must match the signed value.
• timestamp must be within 5 minutes of server time and no more than 30 seconds in the future.
• action is the exact authenticated REST request target as METHOD /path, including the query string when present, after stripping the /api/v1 prefix for versioned routes. Examples: GET /positions, GET /positions?owner=<wallet>, POST /tx/place-order. WebSocket subscriptions use "WS_SUBSCRIBE <channel>" — see WebSockets.
• nonce must be unique across HTTP and WebSocket auth — the server rejects replayed nonces.
• The signature is an Ed25519 signature over the exact x-wallet-message string bytes, base58-encoded.

Public routes (no authentication required):

• GET /markets, GET /markets/current, GET /markets/:marketId
• GET /orders?tx=<sig> (transaction log lookup; returns trades by signature)
• GET /leaderboard, GET /achievements/all, GET /challenges/today
• GET /v2/fee-config, GET /v2/referral/:address, GET /v2/referrer/:address/earnings
• GET /v2/referrals/leaderboard, GET /v2/wallet/:address/analytics
• GET /orderbook/top, GET /trades, GET /status

Markets#

List Markets#

GET /markets

Authentication: None required

Query Parameters:

Response:

{
  "data": {
    "markets": [
      {
        "id": 1,
        "address": "ABcd...1234",
        "marketId": "1937600",

        "tEnd": "2026-02-12T00:15:00.000Z",
        "startPrice": "68523400000",
        "startPriceExpo": -8,
        "totalVolume": "15000000",
        "totalTrades": 42,
        "totalPositions": 18
      }
    ],
    "total": 96,
    "limit": 50,
    "offset": 0
  }
}

Get Current Market#

GET /markets/current

Authentication: None required

Response:

{
  "data": {
    "market": {
      "id": 1,
      "address": "ABcd...1234",
      "marketId": "1937600",
      "pythFeed": "0xff61...",
      "state": 2,
      "outcome": null,
      "tStart": "2026-02-12T00:00:00.000Z",
      "tEnd": "2026-02-12T00:15:00.000Z",
      "startPrice": "68523400000",
      "startPriceConf": "34000000",
      "startPriceExpo": -8,
      "endPrice": null,
      "endPriceConf": null,
      "endPriceExpo": null,
      "totalYesShares": "5000000",
      "totalNoShares": "3000000",
      "totalVolume": "15000000",
      "totalTrades": 42,
      "totalPositions": 18,
      "createdAt": "2026-02-12T00:00:01.000Z",
      "resolvedAt": null
    },
    "status": "trading"
  }
}

The status field is either "trading" (current market) or "upcoming" (next market if no current one). Returns 404 if no current or upcoming market exists.

Note: totalCollateral is a deprecated field frozen at the create-time value since protocol upgrade F-020. Do not rely on it.

Get Market by ID#

GET /markets/:marketId

Authentication: None required

Path Parameters:

Response:

{
  "data": {
    "market": {
      "...": "all market list fields",
      "accumulatedCreatorFees": "12000",
      "tickSizeBps": 100,
      "feeConfig": {
        "feeCapBps": 200,
        "decayRateBps": 600
      }
    },
    "orderbook": {
      "bids": [
        { "price": 6500, "quantity": "10000000", "orders": 3 },
        { "price": 6000, "quantity": "5000000", "orders": 1 }
      ],
      "asks": [
        { "price": 7000, "quantity": "8000000", "orders": 2 },
        { "price": 7500, "quantity": "3000000", "orders": 1 }
      ]
    }
  }
}

The tickSizeBps field carries the live order-book tick size used for canonical YES-price rounding previews. feeConfig carries the fee-curve parameters used by the slippage estimator in @seesaw/core. tickSizeBps defaults to 100 and feeCapBps/decayRateBps default to 200/600 when no prior config event has been indexed. The orderbook shows the top 10 price levels on each side. Prices are in basis points (0–10000). Bids are sorted descending, asks ascending.

Orders#

List User Orders (Authenticated)#

GET /api/v1/orders

Without the ?tx parameter, this endpoint requires authentication and returns the authenticated wallet's orders. The root-level GET /orders?tx=<sig> lookup is public and returns the trades logged in that transaction.

Authentication: Required (omit for ?tx lookups)

Query Parameters:

Response:

{
  "data": {
    "orders": [
      {
        "id": 42,
        "orderId": "7",
        "marketAddress": "ABcd...1234",
        "marketId": "1937600",
        "settlementMint": "EPjF...Dt1v",
        "owner": "Wallet...Address",
        "side": "yes",
        "sideCode": 0,
        "sideLabel": "buy_yes",
        "isYes": true,
        "priceBps": 6500,
        "quantity": "1000000",
        "filledQuantity": "500000",
        "status": "open",
        "statusCode": 0,
        "orderType": 0,
        "createdAt": "2026-02-12T00:05:00.000Z",
        "updatedAt": "2026-02-12T00:06:00.000Z"
      }
    ],
    "total": 15,
    "limit": 50,
    "offset": 0
  }
}

Order status values: open, filled, cancelled, expired, pending_cancel, cancel_failed

Note: pending_cancel is an optimistic state set when a cancellation is submitted by the app. The indexer reconciles this when the on-chain CancelOrder event is observed. Order cancellation is always submitted on-chain via the SDK or CLI; there is no REST-only cancel operation.

Positions#

List User Positions#

GET /positions

Authentication: Required

Query Parameters:

Response:

{
  "data": {
    "positions": [
      {
        "id": 7,
        "address": "Pos...Address",
        "marketAddress": "ABcd...1234",
        "owner": "Wallet...Address",
        "market": {
          "pythFeed": "0xff61...",
          "state": 4,
          "outcome": 1
        },
        "yesShares": "1000000",
        "noShares": "0",
        "collateralDeposited": "650000",
        "totalBought": "1000000",
        "totalSold": "0",
        "settled": false,
        "payout": "0",
        "currentYesPrice": 6500
      }
    ],
    "balance": "5000000",
    "total": 3,
    "limit": 50,
    "offset": 0
  }
}

The balance field is the sum of redeemable payouts from settled positions. currentYesPrice is the mid of best bid/ask in basis points, with fallbacks.

If the owner query parameter is provided, it must exactly match the authenticated wallet address; otherwise the server returns 404 for anti-enumeration. Missing or invalid wallet authentication still returns 401.

Stats#

Wallet summary/history/trade stats require authentication. The public wallet P&L-history route is GET /stats/user/:wallet/pnl-history.

Get Personal Stats#

GET /stats

Authentication: Required

Response:

{
  "data": {
    "totalTrades": 142,
    "winningTrades": 85,
    "losingTrades": 57,
    "totalPnl": "12500000",
    "winRate": 59.86,
    "avgTradeSize": "500000",
    "bestTradePnl": "2000000",
    "worstTradePnl": "-1500000",
    "currentStreak": 3,
    "longestStreak": 7
  }
}

If the user has no stored stats record, stats are computed on-the-fly from positions and trades (capped at 10,000 records).

Get P&L History#

GET /stats/history

Authentication: Required

Query Parameters:

Response:

{
  "data": {
    "history": [
      { "date": "2026-02-10T00:00:00.000Z", "value": -2.5 },
      { "date": "2026-02-11T00:00:00.000Z", "value": 1.3 },
      { "date": "2026-02-12T00:00:00.000Z", "value": 5.7 }
    ]
  }
}

Values are cumulative P&L in USDT (converted from base units by dividing by 1,000,000). Daily P&L is summed from settled positions.

Get Trade History#

GET /stats/trades

Authentication: Required

Query Parameters:

Response:

{
  "data": {
    "trades": [
      {

        "tEnd": "2026-02-12T00:15:00.000Z"
      }
    ],
    "total": 142,
    "hasMore": true,
    "nextCursor": "eyJleGVjdXRlZF9hdCI6IjIwMjYtMDItMTJUMDA6MDU6MDAuMDAwWiJ9"
  }
}
