• AccountService: Handles account-related operations (subaccounts, positions, etc.)
• TradingService: Manages trading operations (orders, transfers, etc.)
• DydxApi: Credentials management for dYdX API access

Command Line Tools

This package includes TypeScript tools for interacting with dYdX without needing to set up n8n:

Using the Query Tool

The simplest way to query dYdX account data:

# Using npm script
npm run query -- --address=<your_address> --network=<mainnet|testnet>

# Or directly with ts-node

1. Connects directly to the dYdX API
2. Retrieves subaccount information for the provided address
3. Displays account equity and open positions
