Superior Trade Authentication

Use this skill to get a Superior Trade API key and make authenticated requests to https://api.superior.trade.

API Key Onboarding

If a user does not already have a Superior Trade API key, ask for the email address that should receive the key. Do not ask for wallet keys, seed phrases, private keys, passwords, or other secrets.

Request the key with:

curl -sS https://api.superior.trade/auth/sign-in/magic-link \
  -X POST \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"email":"user@example.com"}'

The API sends the key directly to the user's inbox. Tell the user to retrieve the key from their email and configure it in their normal credential store or environment, usually as SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY.

Do not paste the received key into chat, source files, logs, or examples. If the user provides a key in chat, treat it as a secret and avoid repeating it.

Authenticated Requests

Use the key in the x-api-key header:

curl -sS https://api.superior.trade/v2/account \
  -H "x-api-key: $SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY"

The email is verified once the API key is used successfully in an authenticated request such as the status check above. If the first authenticated request fails with 401 or 403, ask the user to confirm they copied the full key from the latest email and that the credential is being passed as the x-api-key header.

Operating Rules

• Prefer SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY from the environment or credential manager when it is available.
• Use https://api.superior.trade as the production API base URL.
• Use Content-Type: application/json for JSON request bodies.
• Never fabricate authentication status. Verify by making a real API call when credentials are available.
• Never request or handle private keys, seed phrases, or wallet credentials.
• Never start live trading, deposits, or other fund-moving actions without the explicit confirmations required by the relevant Superior Trade trading skill.
