# Overview

> Explore the RFQ Trades Partner API for settling trades matched on your platform.

## APIs

The RFQ Trades Partner API settles trades that your platform matched off
Polymarket, over HTTP for requests and over WebSocket for trade status. Access
is by invitation: see the [Institutional Overview](https://docs.polymarket.com/partners/overview.md) for who
it is for and how to request access.

> [card] HTTP API
>
> `https://external-rfq-partner.polymarket.com`
>
> Validate, prepare, submit, and read RFQ trades.

> [card] WebSocket API
>
> `wss://external-rfq-partner.polymarket.com/v1/ws/rfq-trades`
>
> Stream your trades' status changes.

The testing environment's base URL is shared during onboarding, together with
test API keys for that environment.
