Unicorn Doc

The official documentation hub for Unicorn Trader integrations and technical onboarding.

Published progressively — with guides, references, examples, and troubleshooting as they are released.

Unicorn Doc is designed for brokers and prop firms that need a reliable reference for connecting systems, configuring environments, and implementing secure operational workflows.

Quick Navigation

1. Overview

Unicorn Doc is the official documentation hub for Unicorn Trader integrations and technical onboarding. It is designed for brokers and prop firms that need a reliable reference for connecting systems, configuring environments, and implementing secure operational workflows.

This area will gradually expand into a complete documentation library, including step-by-step guides, endpoint references, sample payloads, event catalogs, and troubleshooting procedures.

2. Scope of Documentation

Unicorn Doc will cover the core technical building blocks required to integrate with Unicorn Trader and related B2B services, including:

Connectivity & Environment Setup

Base URLs, environment selection (e.g., staging/production where available), network considerations, and recommended configuration patterns for stable integrations.

Authentication & Access Control

Access methods, token lifecycle, permission scopes, and security recommendations to ensure integrations remain controlled, auditable, and aligned with operational policies.

API Reference & Data Models

Structured references for endpoints and data models used across integration flows—such as account lifecycle, user management, reporting, and operational actions. Each reference will include request/response patterns, parameter definitions, and error handling behaviors.

Webhooks & Event Notifications

Event-driven integrations that require real-time updates. This section will include event names, payload schemas, delivery rules, retry behavior, and verification practices (where supported).

SDKs, Examples & Implementation Patterns

Practical examples for common integration workflows, including sample requests (JSON), typical sequences, and recommended implementation patterns for stability and maintainability.

Errors, Monitoring & Troubleshooting

Common error responses, troubleshooting checklists, retry guidance, logging recommendations, and operational diagnostics to support incident resolution and production stability.

Changelog & Versioning

Documentation updates, version notes, and compatibility guidance to help teams understand changes over time and plan safe rollouts.

3. Recommended Integration Path

For most teams, the fastest path to production readiness follows a simple sequence:

1. Review prerequisites and environment structure
Confirm required access, available modules, and your intended integration scope.
2. Implement authentication and permission scopes
Set up access credentials and ensure your integration uses least-privilege permissions.
3. Connect core workflows
Start with essential flows such as account/user lifecycle, required operational actions, and reporting endpoints.
4. Add event handling (if applicable)
Subscribe to relevant webhooks and implement safe processing with retries and idempotency.
5. Production hardening
Add monitoring, structured logging, and operational safeguards before go-live.

This structure is intended to help technical teams build integrations that are secure, predictable, and supportable.

4. Intended Audience

Unicorn Doc is written for:

Engineering teams building integrations and automation
Technical operations and support teams responsible for monitoring and incident handling
Product and platform teams defining rollout models, permissions, and integration scope

5. Access, Availability, and Compliance Notes

Documentation scope and available modules may vary depending on your deployment model and service package. In some environments, certain features (such as specific event types, permission scopes, or reporting modules) may be enabled only after onboarding and configuration.

If your organization has compliance requirements (e.g., access controls, auditability, or internal approval workflows), Unicorn Doc will provide recommended practices to help align integrations with operational governance.

6. Support and Onboarding

If you are planning an integration or preparing for production rollout, our technical team can support:

Integration scope review and architecture guidance
Environment setup and access validation
Best practices for authentication, security, and monitoring
Troubleshooting support during testing and rollout

For onboarding and implementation support, please contact your account manager or use the official support channel provided during onboarding.
