API Overview
RAX Protocol exposes a set of APIs that provide access to risk intelligence, rankings, and analytical outputs.
The API is designed for builders, agents, and systems that need structured risk-aware data for decision-making, monitoring, or integration into automated workflows.
What the API Provides
The RAX API enables access to:
Risk Scores at market, protocol, vault, and portfolio level
Exposure and concentration metrics
Risk-adjusted rankings of DeFi vaults
Volatility and liquidity indicators
Time series data for monitoring and analysis
The API is read-oriented and designed for analysis rather than transaction execution.
Intended Use Cases
Common use cases include:
AI agents consuming risk signals
Dashboards and analytics platforms
Automated monitoring systems
Treasury and portfolio tooling
Research and quantitative analysis
The API can be used independently or in conjunction with the RAX application.
Design Principles
The API is built with the following principles:
Consistency across endpoints
Clear separation between raw data and derived analytics
Explicit versioning
Predictable response formats
Conservative rate limits
These principles support reliability and long-term integration.
Authentication and Access
Access to the API requires authentication.
Authentication methods, keys, and permissions are described in the Authentication section.
Different access levels may apply depending on usage and role.
Data Freshness
Most endpoints return near-real-time data.
Update frequency depends on the specific endpoint and underlying data source. Freshness information is included in API responses where applicable.
Limitations
The API does not:
Execute trades or manage capital
Provide financial advice
Guarantee accuracy under all conditions
It provides analytical signals intended to support downstream systems and human decision-making.
Summary
The RAX API provides structured access to risk intelligence and analytics.
It enables developers to build risk-aware applications and agents on top of the RAX ecosystem.
