Signals

API

Numerai has a GraphQL API. Both public data (like rounds, dataset URLs, leaderboards etc) and private data (authentication, submissions etc) go over a single endpoint.

The GraphQL endpoint is https://api-tournament.numer.ai.

To play around with the API, you can use a dedicated GUI like GraphQL Playground. You can also simply visit the endpoint URL with a browser, there is a built-in GUI you can use.

NMR (Numeraire)

NMR is the cryptocurrency / utility token used in the Numerai tournaments.
