Terminology
Use this glossary when a Direct Trade API field or resource name is unfamiliar.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|
| Axiym account | A balance held with Axiym in one currency and connected to one payment rail. The API refers to this resource as an account. |
accountId | The UUID identifying an Axiym account. It is not a bank account number or wallet address. |
| Axiym account statement | Opening and closing balances, credit and debit totals, and posted ledger movements for one Axiym account and period. |
| Conversion | A currency-exchange record between two Axiym accounts. Creation locks a quote; confirmation begins execution. |
conversionId | The UUID identifying one conversion and its lifecycle. |
| Conversion pair | Permission to sell one currency and buy another over specified payment rails, in one direction and subject to a minimum sell amount. |
pairId | The UUID identifying a conversion pair. When creating a conversion, it selects the direction and resolves the sell-side and buy-side Axiym accounts server-side. |
| Deposit | An incoming payment from an address book entry detected by Axiym. A completed deposit credits an Axiym account. |
depositId | The UUID identifying one incoming deposit and its lifecycle. |
| Deposit instructions | The receiving bank details or wallet address to which a payment must be sent to credit a specific Axiym account. |
| Address book entry | A bank account or wallet your company owns and has registered with Axiym. Only ACTIVE entries can fund deposits or receive withdrawals. |
| Address book | The collection of your registered entries, exposed under /address-book. |
| Destination | The role an address book entry plays as the recipient of a withdrawal. It is not a separate account type. |
destinationId | The UUID identifying an address book entry. Supply this value—not a bank account number, wallet address, or accountId—when creating a withdrawal. The registered account also establishes the permitted source of deposits. |
| Withdrawal | An outgoing payment from an Axiym account to an active address book entry. |
withdrawalId | The UUID identifying one withdrawal and its lifecycle. |
| Term | Meaning |

| Term | Meaning |

| Idempotency key | A unique value supplied on a funds-moving request so the same request can be retried without creating a duplicate operation. |
| Organization context | Your authenticated organization. It owns the OAuth credentials, webhook subscriptions, accounts, address book entries, deposits, conversions, withdrawals, and statements. |
| Client or customer record | A business you serve and track in your own system. Direct Trade API does not create an Axiym clientId or separate resource context for it. |
