Superior Trade Authentication

SkillCommunication

Request and use a Superior Trade API key for https://api.superior.trade. Use when an agent needs to onboard a user by email, request an API key with POST /auth/sign-in/magic-link, set up x-api-key authentication, or recover from missing/invalid Superior Trade credentials (401/403) before backtesting

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Superior Trade Authentication skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by superior-trade/superior-skills in SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use this skill to get a Superior Trade API key and make authenticated requests to https://api.superior.trade.

API Key Onboarding

If a user does not already have a Superior Trade API key, ask for the email address that should receive the key. Do not ask for wallet keys, seed phrases, private keys, passwords, or other secrets.

Request a verification OTP with:

curl -sS https://api.superior.trade/account/register \
  -X POST \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"email":"user@example.com"}'

Ask the user for the OTP sent to that inbox, then exchange it for an API key:

curl -sS https://api.superior.trade/account/verify \
  -X POST \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"email":"user@example.com","otp":"123456"}'

Tell the user to configure the returned key in their normal credential store or environment, usually as SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY.

Do not paste the received key into chat, source files, logs, or examples. If the user provides a key in chat, treat it as a secret and avoid repeating it.

Authenticated Requests

Use the key in the x-api-key header:

curl -sS https://api.superior.trade/account \
  -H "x-api-key: $SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY"

The email is verified once the API key is used successfully in an authenticated request such as the status check above. If the first authenticated request fails with 401 or 403, ask the user to confirm they copied the full key from the latest email and that the credential is being passed as the x-api-key header.

Operating Rules

  • Prefer SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY from the environment or credential manager when it is available.
  • Use https://api.superior.trade as the production API base URL.
  • Use only the unversioned Unified API contract from GET /openapi.json.
  • Use Content-Type: application/json for JSON request bodies.
  • Never fabricate authentication status. Verify by making a real API call when credentials are available.
  • Never request or handle private keys, seed phrases, or wallet credentials.
  • Never start live trading, deposits, or other fund-moving actions without the explicit confirmations required by the relevant Superior Trade trading skill.

Next: the rest of the library

This page covers authentication only. Everything past the API key — funding, strategy selection, backtesting, deployment — lives in the installable skill library.

Install it:

npx skills add Superior-Trade/superior-skills

Then load skills/superior-trade, which owns the full path from an empty account to a running strategy and hands off to the venue skills.
