# Create RFQ

`POST /rfqs`

Creates an RFQ for the authenticated account.

RFQ creation is asynchronous. Subscribe to the private WebSocket channel
`rfq` before sending the request. A successful HTTP response is `202 Accepted`
and contains a Paradex `request_id`; it confirms only that the command was
queued. The later WebSocket `RESULT` event with the same `request_id` reports
whether the venue accepted the command. On success, the event's top-level
`rfq_id` is the venue-issued identifier used by the read, execute, cancel, and
filtered-subscription APIs.

The request accepts up to 25 legs. It must contain at least one strategy leg,
represented by omitting `price`. At least one strategy leg must have
`side=BUY`, and at least one must have `ratio=1`. A fixed-price hedge leg
includes a strictly positive `price`. All quantities and ratios are positive
decimal strings. Every leg market must exist on Paradex and be available for
RFQ. Each fixed hedge price must be an exact multiple of that market's minimum
price increment. The strategy quantity must be at least the largest minimum
block size among its strategy legs.

The platform selects eligible counterparties; a client-supplied
`counterparties` value is ignored. The optional `strategy` field is a draft
label and is not sent to the venue.

Validation or risk-check failures that occur after queueing are reported by
the WebSocket `RESULT` event.

## Request body

  - `legs` RequestsRfqLeg[], required — Strategy and optional fixed-price hedge legs; maximum 25
    - `market` string, required — Paradex market symbol
    - `price` string — Positive fixed price in the instrument's quote currency; set only for hedge legs
    - `ratio` string, required — Positive decimal multiplier for the leg
    - `side` 'BUY' | 'SELL', required — Leg direction

## Response `202`

Accepted

- ResponsesRfqAcceptedResponse
  - `accepted_at` integer — Unix milliseconds when the request was queued
  - `request_id` string — request_id identifies this request. It is echoed on the RESULT event delivered later on the WebSocket rfq channel, so a client with several requests in flight can match each outcome to the request that caused it. On Create it is the only identifier available until the venue issues the rfq_id.

## Other responses

- `400` — Bad Request
- `401` — Unauthorized
- `403` — Forbidden
