API access for 3rd-party app development

Hi. I am working on a trade journal product that is meant to enable real-time journaling by integrating with trading platforms like Tradovate. Users would connect to their accounts via Oauth and the app would only read from the accounts and listen to positions being opened and closed.

The big question, after reading the documentation, is whether there is any alternate way to get my hands on API credentials without setting up a funded account. Obviously, that doesn’t make a lot of sense for me as the developer of a 3rd-party solution that is meant to be used by a multitude of users.

I’d really like to cover Tradovate as a supported platform for the journal.
Thanks in advance!

Unless you become a Tradovate partner (fees involved), the only documented way is the API with a monthly fee and an account with at least $1000 to activate the API

Ok, thanks. Where can I learn more about becoming a Tradovate partner and fees?
