REST API

All endpoints are JSON over HTTP, unauthenticated at the transport level, and rooted at VITE_API_URL — http://localhost:5000 in development.

No transport auth There are no API keys or bearer tokens. Endpoints that need ownership take a userId — a wallet address — in the body and compare it to the stored deployer. See Wallet-only auth before exposing this API publicly.

Errors

Status	Meaning
`400`	Validation failure — bad ticker, short name, amount below the floor, transaction verification failed.
`401`	`userId` was not supplied on an ownership-gated endpoint.
`403`	The wallet does not own the agent.
`404`	Unknown agent, or no wallet key on file.
`409`	Ticker already taken.
`500`	Database, RPC or unexpected server error.

Error bodies are { "error": "message" }. Read endpoints tend to return an empty array instead of failing, so a broken query degrades one panel rather than the page.
