Unified schema. All asset classes return the same JSON field names and types, reducing mapping effort.
REST & WebSocket. Access snapshots, historical OHLCV via REST and live quotes/trades via WebSocket with one API key.
Multi-source aggregation. Data from dozens of venues is de-duplicated and normalized before delivery.
Low latency. Median sub-100 ms streaming latency for real-time feeds.
SDKs for Go, Python, JavaScript. First-party client libraries let you start pulling data in minutes.
Team-ready controls. Scoped API keys, role-based access, audit logs and SSO/SAML on enterprise plans.

Zero-storage architecture. Tool calls fetch data directly from source APIs; no data is cached or stored.
Authorization-first access. All tools require explicit customer authorization before they become callable.
Bi-directional actions. Agents can read and write data (e.g., update records) where the integration supports it.
Unified auth handling. OAuth, API-key flows, token refresh and optional embedded sign-in UI are provided out of the box.
Tool discovery controls. Scope available tools to fit model limits and reduce surface area.
SDKs & language support. Client SDKs for TypeScript, Python, PHP, Java, C#, Ruby, Go and UI components for React, Vue, Angular, JS.
Embedded security boundaries. Each connection defines isolated access, with read/write, object and action restrictions.
Virtual & native webhooks. Unlimited webhook subscriptions with virtual polling for systems lacking native webhooks.
