Hedge recommendations API endpoint, Portfolio risk

and the bounds are stated.

Out-of-range numbers are clamped to the documented range, never silently changed to something else. A missing required field returns 400 with the reason.

Access, limits, errors

Before the
first call.

Plan: Pro Pro and above. Tokens are issued to paid and trial accounts from $55 a month; each endpoint follows the tier of its web feature. An endpoint above your plan answers 402 and names the plan it needs.
Auth: Bearer token, prefix avmcp_, created under Account, then API Access. Shown once, hashed at rest, rotates in one click. Always call https://apexvol.com, never www.
Limits: 60 requests a minute and 1,000 an hour per token, plus a monthly allowance by plan. Every response carries the remaining counts in X-RateLimit-* headers; a 429 carries Retry-After in seconds.
Errors: 401 no or revoked token; 429 Retry-After seconds; 403 Pro plan required; 400 missing or malformed body. The full list with payload shapes is on the errors page.
Since: API 1.0. Units, bases and timestamps follow the conventions shared by every endpoint; changes are logged in the API changelog.
