ScripX is the exchange for duty credit scrips. One REST API for the full trade. Quote a price, place the order, watch it settle, get paid. All REST, all JSON, one API key. Built for partner platforms and marketplaces that bring their clients to ScripX. The core motion is simple: onboard your exporters and, credit by credit, take a direct quote for each client’s scrip at ScripX’s price, one all-in number landing in the seller’s bank. Onboard your importers and they fund duty below face the same way. ScripX makes the price, matches the trade, and settles it end to end, and the model holds whether you bring five firms or five hundred. For desks that want more, running deals inside their own book at prices they set, with intra-group netting, the advanced cross desk is available as a value-add, enabled on your partner agreement.

Start here

What is a scrip?

New to duty credit scrips? The concept, the schemes (RoDTEP, RoSCTL), and why exporters sell them and importers buy them.

Quick start

Market snapshot to firm quote to a placed order in five curl calls.

Authentication

The X-ScripX-Key header, scopes, plans, and the exact rate limit headers on every response.

Webhooks

Signed event deliveries for order and settlement milestones, with retries, dead-letters and replay.

Errors

The flat error body, every status code, and the stable code values to branch on.

SDKs and tools

Thin Python and TypeScript clients, webhook verification helpers, and the live OpenAPI spec.

The lifecycle at a glance

1

Onboard your firms

ScripX issues your desk an API key. Register each client firm, exporters and importers alike, then verify it from your own UI: the firm’s customs-account credentials under its mandate, completed with a one-time authorization code. Mint scoped child keys for sub-accounts yourself.
2

Quote

Read the market snapshot or the live stream, then take a firm two-sided quote for an exact amount.
3

Order

Place the order at the quoted price with an Idempotency-Key, or batch up to 500. Desks with the advanced cross desk enabled can also book deals inside their own book.
4

Track and get paid

Poll positions or register a webhook for order.matched, settlement.settled and payout.sent. Reconcile with statements and the tamper-evident audit export.

​
Base URLs

The environment lives in the key, not the host: scripx_live_… is production, scripx_test_… is the sandbox where the full lifecycle runs with simulated money and nothing real ever moves. Build your whole UI there first; see Environments. The machine-readable contract is public at GET /v1/openapi.json.

​
Money, price and time

Three conventions hold everywhere: money is integer paise, price is bps of face value, timestamps are ISO 8601 (IST). The Money and price annexure has worked examples.
