# Getting started

### General API Information <a href="#general-api-information" id="general-api-information"></a>

Below we have mentioned the basic details that would help you setup your Dapp on top of tanX:

* The base endpoint is: [https://api.t](< https://api.tradex.fi>)[anx.fi](https://api.tanx.fi)
* All endpoints return either a JSON object or array.
* All time and timestamp related fields are in milliseconds or default datetime format - “%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S”
* Kindly note that you need to create an account on tanX using your ETH wallet before using any of the APIs. Failure to do so might cause inconsistent API responses. This is an important step as this will help us create your username and tanX keys which are needed for accessing tanX’s APIs
