  Getting Started with SnapTrade     Introduction  Welcome to SnapTrade  This is intended to be one of the first documents you read when learning how to use the SnapTrade API and will answer many questions you might have while getting started  This document when read from top to bottom is also a guide for making your first connection  and will get you set up to start pulling account data and placing trades   If you want a quick definitions reference while reading  see  Terminology  https   docs snaptrade com docs terminology    Please see the FAQ of each section  as any questions you might have should be answered there   If after reading this document you still have questions or need help  please do not hesitate to contact us through our  Discord  https   discord gg rkYWBxb8Qu    For a live demo  see the  Getting Started Demo  https   docs snaptrade com demo getting started            API Keys    image png    assets 250312 apikey png    Your  API key  consists of a  clientId  and  consumerKey   Please note that your  consumerKey  is sensitive information and should be kept secure at all times  This  API key  is used to make any requests to the SnapTrade API  and is the first thing required to get started       How to  Create a new API Key  When you are ready to get started with SnapTrade and want to start making requests to our API  you will need to create your free and paid  API keys   You may create only your free key if preferred   1  Create a SnapTrade account at the  SnapTrade Dashboard  https   dashboard snaptrade com home   2  Verify your email  You cannot create any  API Keys  until your account is verified   3  Generate your free  API Key  through the  SnapTrade Dashboard  https   dashboard snaptrade com api key   4   OPTIONAL  Add a payment method through the Settings   Billing page of the  SnapTrade Dashboard  https   dashboard snaptrade com settings billing   5   OPTIONAL  Upgrade to Pay as you Go through Settings   Billing page of the  SnapTrade Dashboard  https   dashboard snaptrade com settings billing   6   OPTIONAL  Generate your paid  API Key  through the  SnapTrade Dashboard  https   dashboard snaptrade com api key    After completing these steps  you will have two SnapTrade  API Keys      A free  API Key  that limits the number of concurrent connections    Optionally  a paid  API Key  that allows for unlimited connections   These two  API keys  are essentially the same in terms of functionality  and the core difference between them is that the free  API key  is limited in terms of the number of concurrent connections you can have  You can use these  API keys  to make requests to the SnapTrade API       How to  Make a request to the SnapTrade API  When you have an  API Key  and want to start using the SnapTrade API  you will need to use your  API Key  to make requests to the SnapTrade API   1  With your Free  API Key   enter your  clientId  and  consumerKey  into the corresponding fields of  api ApiStatus check   2  Press  Send    In the box below the  request  you should receive a response from the SnapTrade API  The  api ApiStatus check  endpoint is the most basic request you can make to the SnapTrade API   You can also make this request with any of the SnapTrade SDKs  While we recommend using an SDK  custom direct API integrations can generate signatures by following  Request

API Keys FAQ  https   docs snaptrade com docs faq faq api keys           Users    image png    assets 250312 apikey2users png   Your  API key  will be used to manage a set of SnapTrade  users   A SnapTrade  user  consists of a  userId  and a  userSecret   The  userSecret  is a randomly generated string and is sensitive information  It should be kept secure at all times   Typically if you have an application that manages end users  each end user of your application will get one SnapTrade  user  that will be used to manage that end user s  connections   This way  SnapTrade  users  will be one to one with the end users of your application       How to  Create a new SnapTrade User  When you have a working  API Key  and want to create a new  connection  for a  user   you will first need to register a SnapTrade  user    1  Using your API Key  create a request to the  api Authentication registerSnapTradeUser  endpoint  You will need to provide a unique SnapTrade  userId    This can be anything that is immutable  For this reason  it is recommended to NOT use email addresses for a SnapTrade  userId   2  The response you receive from the SnapTrade API will contain the  userId  you provided and the  userSecret  generated by SnapTrade  The  userSecret  is a randomly generated string and is sensitive information   You can list your created users by using the  api Authentication listSnapTradeUsers  endpoint  and you can delete created users by using the  api Authentication deleteSnapTradeUser  endpoint  If needed  you may reset a user s userSecret by using the  api Authentication resetSnapTradeUserSecret  endpoint  Now that you have one or more SnapTrade  users  under your  API Key   you are ready to create  connections  under these  users         Users FAQ  https   docs snaptrade com docs faq faq users           Connections    image png    assets 250312 users2connections png   Each  user  under your SnapTrade API key will be used to create and manage  connections  associated with that user  Each connection is associated one to one with a set of credentials to an institution      info Throughout these docs  the term  connection  is used to refer to a linked brokerage account           How to  Create a new connection for a user  When you have a SnapTrade user and want to get access to their account data and or place trades for an account  you will need to create a  connection  for that user   1  Generate a new redirectURI for the SnapTrade Connection Portal using  api Authentication loginSnapTradeUser  3  Open the generated link  Depending on your application  there are different ways to open this link  See  Methods to Integrate the Connection Portal into Your Application  https   docs snaptrade com docs implement connection portal    Once you have successfully completed the Connection Portal Flow  you should have an active connection to work with  and should have access to the accounts under that connection        Connections FAQ  https   docs snaptrade com docs faq faq connections           Accounts    image png    assets 250312 connections2accounts png   When you create a  connection   SnapTrade will automatically sync all  accounts  under the set of credentials to the brokerage  For example  if you made a new  connection  to Questrade  a Canadian brokerage  and that  connection  had a TFSA  an RRSP and an FHSA account under those credentials  SnapTrade would make all these  accounts  accessible over the SnapTrade API   Once you have a connected  account   you are ready to move on to pulling account data  and placing trades for that account       How to  Get positions for an account  When you have at least one connected  account  and want to start making use of the  positions   you will first need to get the  accountId    1  You can find the  accountId  anywhere over the API where the  account  object is returned  In this example  call  api Connections listBrokerageAuthorizations  to list the user s connections  then call  api Connections listBrokerageAuthorizationAccounts  for the relevant connection to get the  accountId  of the account you wish to pull  positions  for  2  With the  accountId   call  api AccountInformation getUserAccountPositions   This will return a list of positions in the specified account   Once you have  positions  returned  you re able to make use of the data in analysis  monitoring  or another use case you might be interested in  Other core endpoints for retrieving account information include  api AccountInformation getUserAccountBalance  and  api AccountInformation getUserAccountOrders        How to  Place a checked trade for an account  When you have at least one connected  account  and want to place a trade in the account  you will need to follow these steps to place a checked order  Note that you may also place an order without checking it   1  You need to get the  universalSymbolId  for the instrument that you wish to place an order for  You can find this using  api Trading getUserAccountQuotes   2  Validate the order with  api Trading getOrderImpact   This is a safe way to check the impact that the trade will have on the account if it is executed  and this is recommended to show on a screen to your user to have them confirm the order  Save the  tradeId  returned by this endpoint  it will be used in the next step  This  tradeId  will expire after a few minutes  3  Using the  tradeId  returned from  api Trading getOrderImpact   place the checked order using  api Trading placeOrder   This will place the order at the brokerage for the account  and return the response given by the broker   The order will now show over the  api AccountInformation getUserAccountOrders  endpoint  If it does not  you may need to trigger a refresh for the connection using  api Connections refreshBrokerageAuthorization         Accounts FAQ  https   docs snaptrade com docs faq faq account information          image png    assets

Getting Started with SnapTrade

  Connection Portal     Overview  The Connection Portal is the front end interface your users interact with to link their brokerage accounts to the SnapTrade API    img src    assets portal overview png  alt  connection portal overview  width  700         Introduction  The Connection Portal is a drop in UI that lets your users link brokerage accounts to the SnapTrade API  It handles credential entry  MFA  reconnects  and redirects  so your app only needs to open a connection portal link and and process the connection result when users are returned to your app   SnapTrade s connection portal is built to run smoothly on all modern browsers and platforms  including     Web apps   Native iOS   Native Android   React Native      Initializing  The SnapTrade connection flow begins when your user shows intent to connect their brokerage account to your app   1  User taps  Connect Account  in your app   Your app calls your backend to generate a SnapTrade connection portal login link and returns it to the client        2  Your app opens the SnapTrade connection portal login link for the user  see  Integration Methods for platform specific best practices   integration methods     They select their brokerage and go through the login flow        3  After successfully connecting  SnapTrade redirects the user back to your app        4  Your backend can now fetch and store the connection details and use them to make necessary API requests for the user       Login Link Parameters      connectionType  optional     Sets the level of access requested  Defaults to  read        read   Data access only      trade   Data   trading access      trade if available   Requests trading access if supported  otherwise falls back to  read       broker  optional    broker slug    If you display broker options in your own UI instead of using SnapTrade s built in selection screen  pass the broker slug here  This skips the integrations selection screen and goes directly into that brokerage s login flow  See the  integrations page  https   support snaptrade com brokerages table      customRedirect  optional     Override the default redirect URL for this session      immediateRedirect  optional  boolean     If true  skips the Connection Portal s success or error screen and sends the user straight back to your app after the connection attempt  using either the default or custom redirect URL      reconnect  required for reconnect flow     The UUID of a connection that needs to be re established  Leave this empty unless you are explicitly reconnecting a disabled connections      showCloseButton  optional  boolean     Set to  false  to hide the close  X  button  Useful for mobile implementations where the native WebView or browser already provides a close button  Defaults to  true       Integration Methods  You can display the Connection Portal in your application using one of the following methods  Pick one method depending on platform and UX needs      info For React applications  we recommend using our  snaptrade react  SDK which offers a seamless integration process  For installation and setup instructions  refer to  SnapTrade React SDK on npm  https   www npmjs com package snaptrade react   The SDK provides built in callbacks that allow you to use client side window messages for monitoring successful connections or failures  ensuring a smoother user experience           Embedded iframe  recommended for web apps   Displays the portal within your application using an iframe     Best for    Web apps   Keeping users within your app  better user experience  when you want full control over the flow     Example React snippet      jsx const ConnectionPortalModal      loginLink            Modal title  SnapTrade Connection Portal  visible footer  null        iframe       id  snaptrade connection portal        src  loginLink        title  SnapTrade Connection Portal        style    width   100    height   70vh   border  0          sandbox  allow forms allow scripts allow same origin allow popups        referrerPolicy  no referrer        allow  clipboard read  clipboard write        aria label  SnapTrade connection portal             Modal            Key Considerations      Find guidance on how to monitor window messages  here   implement connection portal window messages       Your application is responsible for closing the iframe modal post connections      If not using  snaptrade react  SDK  you must handle responsive sizing and closing the modal  The SDK simplifies this       New Browser Tab  Opens the portal in a separate browser tab or popup window     Best for    Web apps   Straightforward connection flows     Key Considerations      To determine the connection state  your application can use one of the following approaches          Option 1  Window messages           Open the Connection Portal in a new window using  window open   This is required to receive client side window messages          Refer to the documentation on how to listen for and handle these messages  here   implement connection portal window messages           Option 2  Query parameters in redirect           The portal will redirect back to your URL with query parameters              SUCCESS      your redirect url  status SUCCESS connection id  connection id               ERROR      your redirect url  status ERROR status code  status code  error code  error code               ABANDONED      your redirect url  status ABANDONED      You can provide a custom redirect to navigate the user back to a specific page in your app post connection      Set  immediateRedirect  to true in the login link to skip the connection portal s internal finish screens and redirect immediately       Mobile In app Browser  Recommended for mobile apps   Use  SFSafariViewController  on iOS   Chrome Custom Tabs  on Android  or the recommended in app browser library for React Native  This preserves browser features required by OAuth and Passkeys     Best for    Mobile applications  React Native  native iOS Android apps  etc      Implementation guides        React Native   implement connection portal react native     iOS   implement connection portal native ios     Android   implement connection portal native android      Window messages  We send these  window messages  https   developer mozilla org en US docs Web API Window message event  to notify your app about user actions and the status of the connection attempt   Your app should listen for these messages and respond accordingly  for example by showing toast notifications  performing redirects  or running any other app logic that makes sense for your use case     Messages       SUCCESS    Indicates successful institution connection  The message contains the authorization ID  same as connection id             status   SUCCESS   authorizationId   AUTHORIZATION ID                ERROR    Sent when a connection error occurs  including an error code  status code and description            status   ERROR   errorCode   ERROR CODE   statusCode   STATUS CODE   detail   DETAIL OF THE ERROR                CLOSED    Sent when the user manually closes the OAuth connection window that opens in a new tab        Note  This message is only emitted when the connection portal is loaded inside an iframe  In other integration methods  the OAuth flow opens in the same tab as the connection portal  so closing the OAuth window also ends the entire connection portal session         ABANDONED    Functions the same as  CLOSE MODAL  but only triggers for non iframe implementations        Example React snippet          jsx     useEffect               const handleMessageEvent    e               if  e data              const data   e data             if  data status      SUCCESS                 const authorizationId   data authorizationId                 close the connection portal modal and display success message to the user             else if  data status      ERROR                 const   errorCode  statusCode  detail     data                 close the connection portal modal and display error message to the user             else if               data      CLOSED                 data      CLOSE MODAL                 data      ABANDONED                               close the modal                                       window

  Trading with SnapTrade  SnapTrade supports trading workflows for stocks  ETFs  other equities  options  and crypto  The exact feature set depends on the connected brokerage or exchange  so you should always  verify support  https   support snaptrade com brokerages table v e7bbcbf9f272441593f93decde660687  for the account you are about to trade with          Soft Rate Limit       We recommend limiting trade requests to   1 trade per second per account   to maximize execution success      Trading Overview  Most trading integrations with SnapTrade follow the same high level flow   1  Create or upgrade a trading enabled connection  2  Choose the brokerage account that will place the order  3  Build the order payload for the asset class you want to trade  4  Validate the order details in your application  5  Submit the order to the brokerage or exchange  6  Monitor execution status   The sections below explain how that flow differs for equities  options  and crypto      Set Up Trading Access      Create a Trading Connection  By default  connections are created with read only permissions  To create a trading enabled connection  set the  connectionType  body parameter to  trade  when calling  api Authentication loginSnapTradeUser    If you want to request trading access when it is supported  but still allow the user to connect read only accounts elsewhere  use  connectionType trade if available  instead       Enable Trading for an Existing Connection  To enable trading for an existing read only connection  ask the user to re authorize access   1  Set the  reconnect  body parameter to the ID of the existing connection  2  Set  connectionType trade  when calling  api Authentication loginSnapTradeUser   3  Direct the user to the re authorization URL that SnapTrade returns      Stocks  ETFs  and Other Equities  Use the standard trading endpoints for single leg equity orders       Typical Equity Workflow  1  Identify the account that will place the order  2  Identify the instrument using its brokerage  symbol   This is the recommended identifier when placing orders  3  Build the order details        action    BUY  or  SELL        order type   for example  Market    Limit    Stop   or  StopLimit        time in force   for example  Day  or  GTC        units  for share quantity  or  notional value  when supported 4  Validate the order details in your application before submission  5  Submit the order with  api Trading placeForceOrder    For most use cases  it is better to validate the order in your own application and then place it directly with  api Trading placeForceOrder   If you need SnapTrade to simulate the order impact before submission  you can use  api Trading getOrderImpact  and then submit the returned  tradeId  with  api Trading placeOrder   but this is usually not the primary workflow we recommend       Extended Hours Equity Trading  Extended hours trading is brokerage specific and only available when both the account and the instrument support it   To request extended hours execution     Set  trading session  EXTENDED   in the order payload    Use a  LIMIT  order with an appropriate time in force    Expect brokerage specific restrictions  Many brokerages only allow  DAY  orders for extended hours trading  while some also allow  GTC       Options  SnapTrade supports both single leg option orders and multi leg option strategies  but support is narrower than it is for equities       Single Leg Option Orders  Single leg option orders use the same endpoint as multi leg option orders  but with a single leg   1  Build the order for  api Trading placeMlegOrder   providing only a single leg  2  Provide  instrument symbol  with an  OCC format  https   en wikipedia org wiki Option symbol OCC format   3  Use an option action such as  BUY TO OPEN    BUY TO CLOSE    SELL TO OPEN   or  SELL TO CLOSE   4  Set  units  to the number of option contracts  5  Validate the order details in your application and submit the order with  api Trading placeMlegOrder    This is the right workflow for straightforward option buys and sells where the order has only one leg       Multi Leg Option Strategies  For spreads  condors  and other multi leg strategies  use  api Trading placeMlegOrder    The multi leg payload lets you submit     an  order type    a  time in force    a  price effect  such as debit or credit   a  legs  array containing the option instruments  actions  and contract quantities  Because brokerages often report each leg separately  downstream order history can appear as multiple records for a single multi leg submission      Crypto  SnapTrade supports specialized crypto trading endpoints for some exchanges such as Kraken  Binance  and Coinbase   Crypto trading uses tradable asset pairs represented as  BASE QUOTE   The action determines the direction of the trade     On a  BUY   the base asset is what you are buying and the quote asset is what you are spending    On a  SELL   the base asset is what you are selling and the quote asset is what you are receiving       Typical Crypto Workflow  1  Use  api Trading searchCryptocurrencyPairInstruments  to find the tradable pairs for the connected account  2  If needed  filter by  base  or  quote  because exchanges can support different pairs and sometimes different tickers for the same asset  3  Use  api Trading getCryptocurrencyPairQuote  to retrieve a quote for the pair  Quote values are returned in units of the quote asset  4  Validate the order details in your application  5  Submit the order with  api Trading placeCryptoOrder    When placing a crypto order  set the  instrument symbol  to the trading pair and the  instrument type  to  CRYPTOCURRENCY PAIR   The  amount  is the quantity of the base asset to buy or sell   For most crypto integrations  validating the request in your own application is simpler than relying on the preview endpoint  If you need an exchange side preview   api Trading previewCryptoOrder  is available      json      account id      accountId        instrument          symbol    ETH EUR        type    CRYPTOCURRENCY PAIR          side    BUY      type    MARKET      amount    0 01      time in force    GTC      post only   false        In this example  the order buys  0 01  ETH with EUR      Brokerage Support and Reconciliation  Not every brokerage supports every trading workflow  Extended hours sessions  multi leg options  and crypto trading are all institution specific  Review the  SnapTrade Brokerage Support Matrix  https   support snaptrade com brokerages table v e7bbcbf9f272441593f93decde660687  before enabling a feature in production   After placing an order  we recommend you reconcile the latest state by pulling a list of recent orders with  api AccountInformation getUserAccountRecentOrders

  Best practices to serve real time data  SnapTrade offers the ability to get real time data on both Pay as you Go   Real time and Pay as you Go   Daily plans  Real time requests are enabled by default on all non custom plans  See  our pricing page  https   snaptrade com pricing  for more information on plans      Pay as you Go   Real time  The best practice for showing users accurate data on Pay as you Go   Real time is to update your user s state when they log in to your app  You can do this by making API calls to the resources you need  commonly   positions  https   docs snaptrade com reference Account 20Information AccountInformation getUserAccountPositions     options  https   docs snaptrade com reference Options Options listOptionHoldings     balances  https   docs snaptrade com reference Account 20Information AccountInformation getUserAccountBalance   Repeat this process every 10 minutes while the user remains active in your application      Pay as you Go   Daily  On Pay as you Go   Daily  SnapTrade returns Daily data  Daily data is cached and refreshed once a day  Exact refresh timing may vary by brokerage  To get real time data we recommend calling  the manual refresh endpoint  https   docs snaptrade com reference Connections Connections refreshBrokerageAuthorization  to update the data  SnapTrade will begin a sync and notify you via  ACCOUNT HOLDINGS UPDATED  https   docs snaptrade com docs webhooks webhooks account holdings updated  webhooks when each account has finished syncing  at which point you can call   positions  https   docs snaptrade com reference Account 20Information AccountInformation getUserAccountPositions     options  https   docs snaptrade com reference Options Options listOptionHoldings     balances  https   docs snaptrade com reference Account 20Information AccountInformation getUserAccountBalance  for each account  If you expect your users to want intraday updates  it is a good idea to give the option of a refresh button that lets the user refresh their data in the same way  Note that calls to the Refresh endpoint will incur additional charges according to your plan      Get notified when users place trades at their broker  If you need to know when a trade has been placed by a specific user  the recommendation is to poll the  Recent Orders endpoint  https   docs snaptrade com reference Account 20Information AccountInformation getUserAccountRecentOrders   only during market hours  This endpoint defaults to returning the last day of executed orders  Keep a copy of this list on your end  and check if a new order is present in the polling responses  To avoid SnapTrade and institution rate limits  we recommend polling at most once every 5 minutes per account  If faster trade detection is needed  please check out https   docs snaptrade com docs webhooks webhooks trade detection and contact support snaptrade com if you wish to purchase a subscription  or reach out on discord slack        Transactions Please see  our guide on Syncing and Data Freshness  https   docs snaptrade com docs syncing  for more information about transactions     Relevant Endpoints    List account positions  https   docs snaptrade com reference Account 20Information AccountInformation getUserAccountPositions    List account option positions  https   docs snaptrade com reference Options Options listOptionHoldings    List account balances  https   docs snaptrade com reference Account 20Information AccountInformation getUserAccountBalance    List account orders  all   https   docs snaptrade com reference Account 20Information AccountInformation getUserAccountOrders    List account recent orders  for polling   https   docs snaptrade com reference Account 20Information AccountInformation getUserAccountRecentOrders    Get account detail  total account value   https   docs snaptrade com reference Account 20Information AccountInformation getUserAccountDetails

  Webhooks  The SnapTrade API can be configured to send you webhook notifications when certain events happen   To get started with webhooks  visit the webhook tab of the SnapTrade Dashboard to configure a webhook listener     Verifying Webhook Authenticity    Note  Webhook secrets are deprecated   You can verify the authenticity of any SnapTrade webhook by using the  Signature  header contained in the webhook headers  and comparing that to the expected signature generated using your   consumer key    Note that the consumer key is different from the webhook secret that is being deprecated   The  Signature  header contains an HMAC SHA256 hash of the request body  using your consumer key as the key   Here s an example implementation of a Flask webhook handler that verifies the authenticity of incoming webhooks      python from base64 import b64encode from hashlib import sha256 import datetime import hmac import json import os from flask import Flask  request  jsonify  app   Flask   name     CONSUMER KEY   os getenv  SNAPTRADE CONSUMER KEY     app route      methods   POST    def webhook listener          Extract the payload     payload   request get json          Extract

from signature verification     SnapTrade supports custom webhook request headers  which are useful if your webhook handler is protected by Cloudflare    SnapTrade does not support IP whitelisting at this time    Handling Undeliverable Webhooks  When your webhook handler responds to our requests with a status code that is not 200  201  202  or 204  we mark that webhook as undelivered in our system   We will attempt to resend an undeliverable webhook notification with an exponential backoff  starting at 30 minutes  until it is either delivered successfully  or 3 retry attempts have been made     Webhook Types  The different webhook event types are outlined below      USER REGISTERED  Sent when a new user is successfully registered through the   registerUser   endpoint   Example payload is

  Ratelimiting  The SnapTrade API uses a number of safety mechanisms to protect against bursts of incoming traffic and help maximize its stability   Sending many requests in quick succession might trigger error responses that show up as HTTP status code 429   Every SnapTrade client is ratelimited to 250 requests per minute by default  If you have a large number of users and would like to request a higher ratelimit  please contact your Customer Success Manager      What Happens When You Hit a Ratelimit  When you hit a ratelimit  the API will return an HTTP status code 429  This means that you have exceeded the maximum number of requests you can make in a given time period   The response body will have data on how long you should wait before making more requests  Here is an example of what the response body looks like      json   detail   Request was throttled  Expected available in 7 seconds    status code  429  code   0000           Keeping Track of Your Ratelimit  The SnapTrade API returns several helpful response headers that you can use to keep track of your ratelimit usage      X RateLimit Limit   the maximum number of requests you can make in a given minute    X RateLimit Remaining   the number of requests remaining in the current minute    X RateLimit Reset   the number of seconds until the next minutely ratelimit resets  These are rolling limits that look at the trailing 60 seconds      Common Causes and Mitigations  There are a number of situations that may cause your ratelimiting to kick in  Here are a few scenarios and suggested mitigations       Aggressive syncs    syncing user portfolios all at once will increase the chance that you hit your ratelimit threshold  To avoid 429s  these data syncs should be spaced out over a period of time      Increased user signup volumes    for example if you make an announcement to your users that a new integration is available with SnapTrade  To prevent hitting ratelimits  it is prudent to space out these requests so users onboard over a period of time      Best Practices for Handling 429s  You should add logic to your integration to watch for  429  responses from our API  and handle them with a retry mechanism   The retry mechanism should use exponential backoff  and ideally have some randomness to prevent  thundering herd problems  https   en wikipedia org wiki Thundering herd problem

  SnapTrade MCP Server  SnapTrade offers a hosted  Model Context Protocol  https   modelcontextprotocol io   MCP  server that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT securely read a user s connected brokerage data through natural language prompts  Once a user adds SnapTrade as a connector  they can ask their assistant about their balances  positions  orders  and account activity in plain language   The MCP server is available at  https   mcp snaptrade com mcp       info The MCP server is   read only    It can retrieve account data and generate a link to connect a new brokerage  but it cannot place trades  move money  or change account settings  For programmatic access to the full SnapTrade API  including trading  see  Getting Started with SnapTrade  https   docs snaptrade com docs getting started           Before you begin  The SnapTrade MCP server is for   SnapTrade Personal   users   individuals who connect and manage their own brokerage accounts with SnapTrade  It is not used with SnapTrade developer  partner  API keys   To use the connector  you ll need a free SnapTrade Personal account  If you don t have one yet  sign up at the  SnapTrade Dashboard  https   dashboard snaptrade com signup  and link at least one brokerage account before adding the connector to your AI assistant      What you can do with it  With the SnapTrade connector enabled  an AI assistant can     List the brokerages a user is connected to and the accounts under each connection   Retrieve account details  balances  and buying power   Retrieve positions and holdings across accounts   Review orders  recent orders  and order details   Review historical account activity such as deposits  dividends  and fees   Look up reference data such as currencies  exchange rates  stock exchanges  and security types   Generate a one time link the user can open to connect a new brokerage     How it works  The MCP server is a thin protocol adapter in front of the SnapTrade Partner API  AI assistants speak MCP  SnapTrade exposes a REST API  The MCP server translates between the two and forwards each request to the same endpoints SnapTrade partners already use       AI assistant     SnapTrade MCP server     SnapTrade Partner API     User s brokerages      No new data surface is introduced   the connector exposes a curated  read only subset of existing SnapTrade endpoints      Authentication and security  The connector uses the OAuth 2 0 authorization code grant with PKCE  When a user adds the connector  their AI assistant registers itself automatically using  Dynamic Client Registration  RFC 7591   https   www rfc editor org rfc rfc7591   The user is then redirected to SnapTrade to log in and approve access  Tokens issued to the assistant are scoped to  read   and the MCP server validates every request using  token introspection  RFC 7662   https   www rfc editor org rfc rfc7662  against SnapTrade s authorization server      info The AI assistant never sees a user s SnapTrade  userId  or  userSecret   and never sees brokerage login credentials  It only receives a short lived  read scoped access token  SnapTrade resolves the user from that token       Clients can discover the connector s OAuth configuration at these endpoints      https   mcp snaptrade com  well known oauth protected resource mcp     https   api snaptrade com  well known oauth

SnapTrade MCP Server

  SnapTrade Connector Privacy Notice  This notice explains how the SnapTrade MCP server  the  connector   handles data when you connect SnapTrade to an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT  It supplements the  SnapTrade Privacy Policy  https   snaptrade com privacy policy   which governs SnapTrade s services overall and applies in full  SnapTrade is operated by Passiv Inc   The connector is   read only    it can retrieve your account data and generate a link to connect a new brokerage  but it cannot place trades  move money  or change account settings      What data the connector accesses  When your AI assistant calls a connector tool in response to your prompt  the connector retrieves the following categories of data from SnapTrade and returns them to your assistant       Connections     the list of brokerages you have connected through SnapTrade and connection metadata such as institution name and connection status      Account details     account type  institution name  total account value  and sync status      Balances     cash balances and buying power  including per currency balances      Positions and holdings     the securities held in your accounts  with quantities and market values      Orders     open  filled  cancelled  and pending orders  including order history and individual order details      Account activity     historical transactions such as deposits  withdrawals  dividends  fees  buys  and sells      Reference data     currencies  exchange rates  stock exchanges  and security types  This data is not specific to you   The connector accesses this data   on demand    only in direct response to a prompt you make through your AI assistant  It does not collect or retrieve data proactively      What the connector does not access    The connector never exposes your SnapTrade  userId  or  userSecret  to the AI assistant  These partner level identifiers are stripped from every request before it reaches the assistant    The connector never accesses your brokerage login credentials or passwords    The connector cannot place trades  transfer funds  or change account settings  Access is limited to read only scope      How the connector uses data  The connector is a thin protocol adapter  It uses the data it retrieves solely to fulfill the request you made through your AI assistant  passing the response back to the assistant that asked for it   SnapTrade does not use connector data for advertising or profiling  and does not use it to train AI models      Data storage and retention  The connector is stateless  It does not maintain its own long term store of your account data   each tool call retrieves data from the SnapTrade Partner API and returns it to your assistant   Retention of the underlying account data that SnapTrade holds is governed by the  SnapTrade Privacy Policy  https   snaptrade com privacy policy   OAuth access tokens issued to your AI assistant are short lived and scoped to  read   Operational logs may be retained for security  reliability  and troubleshooting in line with SnapTrade s standard practices      Third party sharing  When a connector tool returns data  that data is delivered to the AI provider you chose to use   Anthropic for Claude  or OpenAI for ChatGPT  How those providers handle the data is governed by their own privacy policies      Anthropic Privacy Policy  https   www anthropic com legal privacy     OpenAI Privacy Policy  https   openai com policies privacy policy    SnapTrade does not sell your personal data  For information on SnapTrade s service providers and other data sharing  see the  SnapTrade Privacy Policy  https   snaptrade com privacy policy       Data minimization  The connector is designed to access the minimum data needed to answer your prompts     It requests only  read  scope   it cannot write to your accounts    It exposes only a curated set of read only endpoints  not the full SnapTrade API    It returns data only in direct response to a prompt  Nothing is collected  just in case     Partner level identifiers and credentials are removed from every request before the AI assistant sees it      Revoking access  You can revoke a connector s access at any time from the SnapTrade dashboard under   Settings   Connected apps    Revoking access immediately invalidates the AI assistant s token  Revoking connector access does not disconnect your brokerages   your SnapTrade connections remain intact  See  SnapTrade MCP Server  https   docs snaptrade com docs mcp server  for more on managing access      Contact  For

Terminology

  Sending Requests  When sending requests to SnapTrade  we recommend using an SDK  You can also send requests directly through the API reference on this site  this is especially useful for managing users and connections during development      SDKs  It is possible to integrate without an SDK  but you will need to generate a request signature for each API request  See  Request Signatures  https   docs snaptrade com docs request signatures  for the signing algorithm and code examples   SnapTrade provides the following SDKs for you to use       Language       SDK Link                     Python      https   pypi org project snaptrade python sdk    https   pypi org project snaptrade python sdk      TypeScript      https   www npmjs com package snaptrade typescript sdk    https   www npmjs com package snaptrade typescript sdk      Java      https   central sonatype com artifact com snaptrade snaptrade java sdk    https   central sonatype com artifact com snaptrade snaptrade java sdk      Ruby      https   rubygems org gems snaptrade    https   rubygems org gems snaptrade      C       https   nuget org packages SnapTrade Net    https   nuget org packages SnapTrade Net      PHP      https   packagist org packages konfig snaptrade php sdk    https   packagist org packages konfig snaptrade php sdk      Go      https   pkg go dev github com passiv snaptrade sdks sdks go    https   pkg go dev github com passiv snaptrade sdks sdks go        Ratelimiting  The SnapTrade API uses a number of safety mechanisms to protect against bursts of incoming traffic and help maximize its stability   Sending many requests in quick succession might trigger error responses that show up as HTTP status code 429      Response Headers      x request id  Each SnapTrade API request has an associated request identifier  If you need to contact us about a specific request  providing the request identifier is helpful to ensure the fastest possible resolution       x ratelimit limit  With each request  you will receive your ratelimit as a header  This denotes how many requests you can make in one minute before being throttled       x ratelimit remaining  Within each request  you will receive how many requests are remaining until SnapTrade begins throttling your requests         See also     Request Signatures  https   docs snaptrade com docs request signatures     Ratelimiting  https   docs snaptrade com docs ratelimiting     Request IDs  https   docs snaptrade com docs request ids  

Sending Requests

  Request Signatures  SnapTrade API requests are authenticated using your  clientId   a Unix  timestamp   and a  Signature  header   The official SnapTrade SDKs generate request signatures automatically  You only need to implement this flow manually if you are calling the SnapTrade API directly without an SDK      Overview  To generate a request signature   1  Build a signature payload containing the request body  path  and query string  2  Serialize the payload into canonical JSON  3  Sign the canonical JSON string using HMAC SHA256 with your  consumerKey   4  Base64 encode the HMAC digest  5  Send the encoded value in the  Signature  header      Signature Payload  The signature payload is a JSON object with exactly three fields     Field   Description                content    The JSON request body  Use  null  when the request has no body or the body is empty       path    The request path  including   api v1   excluding the query string       query    The raw query string exactly as sent in the request URL  excluding the leading         Example request      http POST  api v1 snapTrade registerUser clientId PASSIVTEST timestamp 1635790389 Signature   generated signature  Content Type  application json    userId   new user 123        The signature payload for this request is      json      content          userId    new user 123          path     api v1 snapTrade registerUser      query    clientId PASSIVTEST timestamp 1635790389            Canonical JSON Rules  Before signing  the signature payload must be serialized into a canonical JSON string   Use these rules   1  Sort object keys alphabetically at every level  2  Remove unnecessary whitespace  3  Encode the resulting string as UTF 8  4  Use  null  for empty request bodies   The canonical signature string for the example above is      json   content    userId   new user 123    path    api v1 snapTrade registerUser   query   clientId PASSIVTEST timestamp 1635790389        The following string represents the same JSON object  but it is not valid for signing because it contains extra whitespace      json   content     userId    new user 123     path     api v1 snapTrade registerUser    query    clientId PASSIVTEST timestamp 1635790389        Cryptographic signatures are generated from the exact bytes of the string  Even small formatting differences will produce a different signature      Request Details  The  query  value is the exact query string sent in the request URL  excluding the leading       Example      text  api v1 snapTrade registerUser clientId PASSIVTEST timestamp 1635790389      Use      text clientId PASSIVTEST timestamp 1635790389      Do not sort  decode  re encode  or otherwise modify query parameters before signing   For requests without body  set  content  to  null   This includes GET requests  bodyless DELETE POST requests  and requests where the body would otherwise be            Python Example     python from base64 import b64encode

  Connections  A connection is an open channel for you to access the account data of your end users  Each connection is associated one to one with a set of credentials to an institution  If the access token for the connection is no longer valid  the connection will become disabled and the end user will need to go through the connection portal again to enable the connection      Connection Portal  The Connection Portal is a UI widget designed to allow end users to securely connect their brokerage accounts to your app  It handles brokerage selection  OAuth redirects  username password authentication  and multi factor auth verification in one flow      Disabled Connections  Connections can break for a variety of reasons  which are usually related to security needs  Access tokens usually have some sort of expiry associated with them  so that users occasionally need to reauthorize access in order to show that they still approve of the connection  Access tokens typically expire after a few weeks and need to be reauthorized occasionally   When an access token is no longer valid  SnapTrade considered this to be a  disabled connection  which will no longer provide live data until it is repaired by the user        See also     Fix Broken Connections  https   docs snaptrade com docs fix broken connections     Integrate the Connection Portal into Your Application  https   docs snaptrade com docs implement connection portal implement connection portal integrate the connection portal into your application

  Account Data  An account represents a unique account at a brokerage  like an individual account  or a 401k retirement account  A connection can have multiple accounts  The same brokerage account can also belong to multiple connections  For example a joint account between two individual account holders are visible under each account holder s connection  With a connected account  you can call any SnapTrade account data API to get information about the account  its holdings  and its history      Account Details   api AccountInformation getUserAccountDetails   The account object contains information such as the institution name  the sync status of the account and the total market value of the account      Positions   api AccountInformation getUserAccountPositions   api Options listOptionHoldings   Positions are the current holdings of the account excluding cash  This includes many asset classes such as stocks  ETFs  and fixed income      Balances   api AccountInformation getUserAccountBalance   Balances are the current cash holdings and buying power of the account  In some cases  brokerages will allow holding many currencies in an account and these will be returned as separate balances      Orders   api AccountInformation getUserAccountOrders   api AccountInformation getUserAccountRecentOrders   Orders are how a broker keeps track of trading activity in an account  This differs from account activities in the following ways     Is updated intraday   Contains all orders placed at the broker regardless if they resulted in a change in position  including cancelled orders and pending orders   Often has more granular timestamps than account activities   Only looks back a few months at most     Activities   api AccountInformation getAccountActivities   Activities record the transaction history for the account  Each activity documents a change in position for the account  including deposits  withdrawals  fees  dividends  buys and sells  This differs from Orders in the following ways     Activities are updated once daily   Activities may not have timestamps of when the transaction occurred  only the date    Activities only contain transactions that resulted in a change of position to the account  no pending or cancelled orders   Often has years of history for the account  sometimes the entire account history since inception  SnapTrade classifies common transactions under the predefined types  with extra focus on what we consider the most important types  buys  sells  contributions  dividends  withdrawals  etc   When we encounter a transaction with a type that doesn t fit into one of our common types  we will return the type that the brokerage uses to identify it   We usually recommend you try not to individually handle every type beyond the most common ones  and instead rely on the other fields  amount  units  price  symbol  option symbol  etc  If amount is positive it represents gaining cash  if amount is negative it represents spending cash  Same with units  so a BUY for instance would have positive units and negative amount  a sell would be negative units positive amount   Check  our API Spec  https   docs snaptrade com reference Account 20Information AccountInformation getAccountActivities  for some of the most common transaction types        See also     Webhooks  https   docs snaptrade com docs webhooks     Getting Started with SnapTrade  https   docs snaptrade com docs getting started

  Fix Disabled Connections  A SnapTrade connection provides direct access to a user s trading account  When an access token is no longer valid  SnapTrade considered this to be a  disabled connection  which will no longer provide live data until it is repaired by the user     Required Functionalities  It is important that users are directed to  fix connections  rather than they create new ones  This allows you to provide a better experience to the user  minimize the number of disabled connections you are managing  and retain historical session data  Using the Connection Portal in the normal manner will create new connections  which will have a different connection id and different account ids if successful  as well as will leave the disabled connection to remain   It is a requirement to implement the ability to reconnect so that connections can be fixed  There are mechanisms available to be notified when connections break  either through a   webhooks   docs webhooks  as described below  or b  by polling the connections endpoint   api Connections listBrokerageAuthorizations   for each user and checking the  disabled  status  When  disabled    true   the connection is disabled and the user must take an action to fix it     How to fix a disabled connection  SnapTrade s Connection Portal has a special mode that s designed for fixing connections  rather than creating new ones  To use the reconnect mode  you simply pass along the connection id in the  reconnect  field as part of the request to generate a login link  See  api Authentication loginSnapTradeUser    When the Connection Portal is accessed with the  reconnect  parameter  it will immediately take the user into the appropriate reconnection flow for that connection  When successful  the disabled connection will be updated with a new access token and start working again   Note  It is important that the user logs into the same brokerage connection when attempting to reconnect  Changing the connection in a reconnect is not permitted and will return an error  If the user wishes to change the connection  they should delete the old connection and create a new one to the new trading account     Webhooks  SnapTrade provides webhooks to notify when new connections are     Attempted   Added   Updated   Deleted   Broken   Fixed  If you have a webhook listener URL associated with your SnapTrade account  you will automatically receive webhook events to let you know when any of those events take place  This is especially useful for noticing when connections break so that you can inform the user that they need to reconnect   Review the documentation on  SnapTrade Webhooks   docs webhooks  for more detail  sample payloads  etc

  Frequently Asked Questions  Need a quick definition while reading  See  Terminology  https   docs snaptrade com docs terminology       API Keys      I have lost the consumerKey to my API Key  What should I do   You should reach out to SnapTrade support  If it is compromised  your users are still safe due to also requiring a user secret to get account data or place trades           Requests      I am getting a  Unable to verify signature sent  error when making a request to the API  What should I do   The API call is failing when comparing the expected signature to the signature provided by your client  This can happen for many reasons  but is likely caused by attempting to configure the signature without an SDK  or an invalid consumerKey  If you need to reset your consumerKey  reach out to someone in SnapTrade staff           Users      What is a  Connected User    A connected user is a user who has at least one connection  If someone connects both a Wealthsimple Trade and Questrade account  then that person will be counted as one connected user  Similarly if they have multiple accounts  IRA and margin  at one broker  then that s also counted as one connected user   A user is considered a connected user from the moment they successfully complete the first connection process to when you or the user deletes their last connection  some times users have multiple brokers connected   You can handle this on your end or let the users delete the connections from your platform       What should I do if I lose the userSecret of one of my users   If you lose the userSecret the easiest thing to do is create a new user and ask the end user to reconnect         The userSecret to one of my SnapTrade users has been compromised  What should I do     The best thing to do in this case is to rotate the user secret using  api Authentication resetSnapTradeUserSecret            Connections      What is the format of   disabled date     All of our timestamp fields return datetime in ISO 8601 format       What is the difference between an account and a connection     image png    assets 250312 model png   The accounts live under the connection to the brokerage  Each connection is associated one to one with a set of credentials to the brokerage  When you create a connection  SnapTrade will automatically sync all accounts under the set of credentials to the brokerage  For example  if you made a new connection to Questrade  a Canadian brokerage  and that connection had a TFSA  an RRSP and an FHSA account under those credentials  SnapTrade would make all these accounts accessible over the SnapTrade API       If I want to remove an account do I need to delete the connection   If you want to remove an account  you will need to delete the corresponding connection  You can do this using  api Connections removeBrokerageAuthorization        If I delete connection  will it delete all accounts from that Connection  Can I delete only one account   Deleting the connection will remove all accounts under that connection  Instead of deleting individual accounts  you could mark them as hidden on your end and only pull information from accounts that are not hidden       How can I force a connection to become disabled for testing   You can do this with the  api Connections disableBrokerageAuthorization  endpoint       How do I enable connecting to

sold   If the activity resulted in a gain in position to the account  long   the activity will have a positive unit  If the activity resulted in a loss of position to the account  short   the activity will have a negative unit       Is it possible to know a stock s first purchase date   Determining a stock s first purchase date varies by brokerage  Two key requirements must be met   1  The brokerage must provide activities or transaction data that includes historical buy sell records  2  The brokerage must include complete transaction history in the account data   Some brokerages have data retention limits for example  Schwab only provides up to 4 years of historical data  You can check this here  SnapTrade Broker Support Matrix  https   support snaptrade com brokerages       When

List account option positions

Returns a list of all connections for the specified user. Note that `Connection` and `Brokerage Authorization` are interchangeable, but the term `Connection` is preferred and used in the doc for consistency.

A connection is usually tied to a single login at a brokerage. A single connection can contain multiple brokerage accounts.

Trigger a holdings update for all accounts under this connection. Updates will be queued asynchronously. [`ACCOUNT_HOLDINGS_UPDATED` webhook](/docs/webhooks#webhooks-account_holdings_updated) will be sent once the sync completes for each account under the connection.
This endpoint will also trigger a transaction sync for the past day if one has not yet occurred.

**Because of the cost of refreshing a connection, each call to this endpoint incurs an additional charge. You can find the exact cost for your API key on the [Customer Dashboard billing page](https://dashboard.snaptrade.com/settings/billing)**
**Please note this endpoint is disabled for Pay as you Go / Real-time plans. Pay as you Go / Real-time plans do not benefit from this feature since data is refreshed when calls are made**


Refresh holdings for a connection

Trigger a transactions sync for all accounts under this connection. Updates will be queued asynchronously. Transactions are not updated intra-day, but calling this endpoint can ensure that the previous day's transactions have been synced.

Get exchange rate of a currency pair

Returns a list of all supported Exchanges.

Get exchanges

Return all available security types supported by SnapTrade.

List security types

Returns a list of Universal Symbol objects that match the given query. The matching takes into consideration both the ticker and the name of the symbol. Only the first 20 results are returned.


Search symbols

Returns the Universal Symbol object specified by the ticker or the Universal Symbol ID. When a ticker is specified, the first matching result is returned. We largely follow the [Yahoo Finance ticker format](https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2310.html)(click on "Yahoo Finance Market Coverage and Data Delays"). For example, for securities traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the symbol has a '.TO' suffix. For securities traded on NASDAQ or NYSE, the symbol does not have a suffix. Please use the ticker with the proper suffix for the best results.


Get symbol detail

Places a brokerage order in the specified account. The order could be rejected by the brokerage if it is invalid or if the account does not have sufficient funds.

This endpoint does not compute the impact to the account balance from the order and any potential commissions before submitting the order to the brokerage. If that is desired, you can use the [check order impact endpoint](/reference/Trading/Trading_getOrderImpact).

It's recommended to trigger a manual refresh of the account after placing an order to ensure the account is up to date. You can use the [manual refresh](/reference/Connections/Connections_refreshBrokerageAuthorization) endpoint for this.


Place equity order

Places a bracket order (entry order + OCO of stop loss and take profit). Disabled by default please contact support for
use. Only supported on certain brokerages


Place bracket order

Places a complex conditional order (OCO, OTO, or OTOCO). Disabled by default — contact support to enable.
Only supported on certain brokerages.

- **OCO** (One Cancels the Other): Two peer orders; when one fills the other is cancelled.
- **OTO** (One Triggers the Other): A trigger order that, when filled, activates a conditional order.
- **OTOCO** (One Triggers a One Cancels the Other): A trigger order that, when filled, activates an OCO pair of two peer orders.


Place complex order

Replaces an existing pending order with a new one. The way this works is brokerage dependent, but usually involves cancelling
the existing order and placing a new one. The order's brokerage_order_id may or may not change, be sure to use the one
returned in the response going forward. Only supported on some brokerages


Replace order

Simulates an order and its impact on the account. This endpoint does not place the order with the brokerage. If successful, it returns a `Trade` object and the ID of the object can be used to place the order with the brokerage using the [place checked order endpoint](/reference/Trading/Trading_placeOrder). Please note that the `Trade` object returned expires after 5 minutes. Any order placed using an expired `Trade` will be rejected.

Check equity order impact

Places the previously checked order with the brokerage. The `tradeId` is obtained from the [check order impact endpoint](/reference/Trading/Trading_getOrderImpact). If you prefer to place the order without checking for impact first, you can use the [place order endpoint](/reference/Trading/Trading_placeForceOrder).

It's recommended to trigger a manual refresh of the account after placing an order to ensure the account is up to date. You can use the [manual refresh](/reference/Connections/Connections_refreshBrokerageAuthorization) endpoint for this.


Place checked equity order

Returns the detail of a single order using the external order ID provided in the request body.

This endpoint only works for single-leg orders at this time. Support for multi-leg orders will be added in the future.

This endpoint is always realtime and does not rely on cached data.

This endpoint only returns orders placed through SnapTrade. In other words, orders placed outside of the SnapTrade network are not returned by this endpoint.


Get account order detail

Returns the detail of a single order using the brokerage order ID provided as a path parameter.

The V2 order response format includes all legs of the order in the `legs` list field.
If the order is single legged, `legs` will be a list of one leg.

This endpoint is always realtime and does not rely on cached data.

This endpoint only returns orders placed through SnapTrade. In other words, orders placed outside of the SnapTrade network are not returned by this endpoint.


Get account order detail (V2)

Places an order in the specified account.
This endpoint does not compute the impact to the account balance from the order before submitting the order.


Place crypto order

Cancels an order in the specified account. Accepts order IDs for all asset types.


Cancel order

Previews an order using the specified account.


Preview crypto order

Searches cryptocurrency pairs instruments accessible to the specified account. Both `base` and `quote` are optional. Omit both for a full list of cryptocurrency pairs.


Get crypto pairs

Get crypto pair quote

Simulates an option order with up to 4 legs and returns the estimated cost and transaction fees without placing it.
Only supported for certain enabled brokerages. Please refer to the [brokerage trading support page](https://support.snaptrade.com/brokerages) for more information on which brokerages support this endpoint.


Get option order impact

Places a multi-leg option order. Only supported on certain option trading brokerages. https://support.snaptrade.com/brokerages has information on brokerage trading support


Place option order

This endpoint is being deprecated but will continue to be available for use via SDKs, please use [the account level endpoint](/reference/Account%20Information/AccountInformation_getAccountActivities) if possible

Returns all historical transactions for the specified user and filtering criteria. It's recommended to use `startDate` and `endDate` to paginate through the data, as the response may be very large for accounts with a long history and/or a lot of activity. There's a max number of 10000 transactions returned per request.

There is no guarantee to the ordering of the transactions returned. Please sort the transactions based on the `trade_date` field if you need them in a specific order.

This endpoint returns Daily data. Daily data is cached and refreshed once a day. Exact refresh timing may vary by brokerage.

**Note:** This endpoint will return HTTP 410 Gone for all customers that sign up after April 25, 2026.


Get transaction history for a user

Returns performance information (contributions, dividends, rate of return, etc) for a specific timeframe. Please note that Total Equity Timeframe and Rate of Returns are experimental features. Please contact support@snaptrade.com if you notice any inconsistencies.
