Hi @God,  
Before you can use the API you must have a funded live account. You can follow [this guide](https://community.tradovate.com/t/how-do-i-access-the-api/2380) to learn how to access the API.

Once you have access, our JS guide is a good place to start. You can [find the JS guide here](https://github.com/tradovate/example-api-js). It’s a comprehensive collection of example projects in JavaScript that you can follow along with.
