Start with composite tools

These tools are the best default entry points because they handle multi-step work for the client:
ToolDescription
parsec.market.find_marketSearch for markets by keyword, parsec_id, or exchange-native ID
parsec.market.get_market_snapshotGet metadata, orderbook, and recent trades together
parsec.trade.preview_orderEstimate execution with account context before placing a live order
parsec.account.get_trading_setup_statusCheck whether the account is ready to trade
parsec.stream.open_market_feedOpen a real-time market feed in one step

​
Market data

Use these for discovery and read-only research:
  • parsec.market.list_exchanges
  • parsec.market.list_markets
  • parsec.market.get_orderbook
  • parsec.market.get_execution_price
  • parsec.market.get_price
  • parsec.market.list_trades
  • parsec.market.list_events

​
Trading

Use these once you are ready to place or manage live orders:
  • parsec.trade.create_order
  • parsec.trade.cancel_order
  • parsec.trade.list_orders
  • parsec.trade.get_order
  • parsec.trade.list_positions
  • parsec.trade.list_fills
  • parsec.trade.get_balance

​
Real-time streaming

Use these when the client needs explicit control over the WebSocket session:
  • parsec.stream.connect
  • parsec.stream.auth
  • parsec.stream.subscribe
  • parsec.stream.unsubscribe
  • parsec.stream.resync
  • parsec.stream.read
  • parsec.stream.close
For most clients, parsec.stream.open_market_feed is the easier starting point.

​
Account and wallet

  • parsec.account.ping
  • parsec.account.get_usage
  • parsec.account.get_ws_usage
  • parsec.account.get_user_activity
  • parsec.account.onboard
  • parsec.wallet.get_state
  • parsec.wallet.export_key

​
Builder tools

Use these if you are building for end-users instead of trading only for yourself:
  • parsec.builder.create_user
  • parsec.builder.list_users
  • parsec.builder.get_user
  • parsec.builder.update_user
  • parsec.builder.delete_user
  • parsec.builder.onboard_user
  • parsec.builder.get_pool
  • parsec.builder.get_escrow_config

​
Polymarket CTF tools

These are advanced conditional-token operations. Most users should stay on the regular trading tools unless they specifically need token splits, merges, or redemption:
  • parsec.ctf.split
  • parsec.ctf.merge
  • parsec.ctf.redeem
