Get Started

​

Quick Setup

1. Get API Access To get started with our APIs, you’ll need to obtain authentication credentials. Visit our Authentication Guide for detailed instructions.
2. Choose Your Environment Production API endpoint:
   https://api.p2p.org
   
   Test environment endpoint:
   https://api-test.p2p.org
   
3. Make Your First API Call Try creating your first stake transaction using the Unified API (no funds required):
   bash

   curl --request POST \
        --url https://api-test.p2p.org/api/v1/unified/staking/stake \
        --header 'accept: application/json' \
        --header 'authorization: Bearer 8aAEXXJsogPZzpAKk1uedM7TYxPvGrBi' \
        --header 'content-type: application/json' \
        --data '
   {
     "chain": "polkadot",
     "network": "westend",
     "stakerAddress": "5FU44bZkd8iza8Sw8xS9QeRamsj9MpcBiwvLBReVDLBmd25q",
     "amount": 1
   }
   '
   
   This will return an unsigned transaction that you can review without committing any funds.
