## Base URL

All requests are made to the test environment during integration:

```
https://beta.stablesrail.io/v1/
```

## Fintech Partner Integration

For platforms integrating Strails into their services (payment processors, exchanges, fintech companies).

**Test your API connection** by retrieving your fintech wallet:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X GET https://beta.stablesrail.io/v1/getfintechwallet \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
```

A successful response returns your wallet addresses:

```json theme={null}
{
  "status": "success",
  "response_code": "00",
  "message": "Fintech wallet retrieved successfully",
  "data": {
    "smartWallet": "0x1234...abcd",
    "mpcVault": "0x5678...efgh",
    "managedWallet": "0xabcd...1234"
  }
}
```

**What you can do next:**

* Create virtual accounts for users
* Trade cNGN ↔ USDC/USDT on the FX orderbook
* Configure custom fee structures
* Manage liquidity with the multi-wallet system

## Direct User Integration

For applications serving individual users (wallet apps, DeFi interfaces, consumer apps).

**Onboard your first user** with BVN verification:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://beta.stablesrail.io/v1/onboarduser \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "bvn": "12345678901",
    "userId": "user_uniqueID",
    "email": "user@example.com",
    "phoneNumber": "+2348012345678"
  }'
```

**What you can do next:**

* Fund wallets via NGN bank transfer

* Process withdrawals to bank accounts
* Track transactions in real time
