  Getting Started  Welcome to the SnapTrade developer hub  You ll find comprehensive documentation for all our endpoints  as well as detailed guides to help you in your build   If you need further assistance or have any questions  please send us an email at api snaptrade com   If you already have API Keys  you can use  our demo tool  demo   to start making requests           API Status  Call the  api ApiStatus check  endpoint to make sure the API is live and that you can make the most basic request  You should receive a response indicating the API status  current server timestamp  and internal API minor version number   Example      json    version   151   timestamp    2022 01 24T19 02 46 440074Z    online   true                Developer SDKs  Easily integrate with SnapTrade in

brokerage authorization  you first need to register a user   Call the  api Authentication registerSnapTradeUser  endpoint with a  userId  which can be any string as long as it s unique to a user  Upon receiving a 200 response  the user is registered successfully and you should receive a response with a user id and a randomly generated user secret    You can think of the user secret as a password that you will store on your users  behalf  This  combined with your consumerKey provides additional security for your users  data  The user id and user secret need to be passed along to all SnapTrade API endpoints that involve access to user data   Example      json    userId    USERID123    userSecret    AYSEY8726837292873                 Generate a login link  To initiate a brokerage authorization for one of your users  you first create a redirect URI for that user to securely login to the SnapTrade Connection Portal and make brokerage connections   The redirect URI can be generated by sending a  POST  request to the  api Authentication loginSnapTradeUser  endpoint   userId  and  userSecret   previously generated through calling the  registerUser  endpoint  have to be in the query parameters of the POST request   The response includes a redirectURI to be used to login a user to the connection portal   Example      json      redirectURI    https   app snaptrade com snapTrade redeemToken token TOKEN clientId PASSIVTEST                 Connect an account through the Connection Portal  Once a user successfully logs into the connection portal  they can select their brokerage and go through the connection flow to connect their brokerage accounts      note For the initial connection  partners can pass in a broker name in the URI so users can go directly to the selected brokerage and make a connection   Example  https   app snaptrade com snapTrade redeemToken token TOKEN clientId PASSIVTEST broker Questrade              Pull user holdings  In order to retrieve user holdings for a specific account  you can call the  api AccountInformation getUserHoldings  endpoint by passing the  clientId    timestamp    userId  and list of account numbers   accounts   to filter the holdings   In the response  you should get an array of objects containing each account holdings data   Example      json            account            id    908192          brokerage    X          number    123456          name    Y              balances                      currency                id    123              code    CA              name    Canadian dollar

  Request IDs  Each SnapTrade API request has an associated request identifier   You can find this value in the response headers  under  X Request ID   For example  running a simple  curl  request and glancing at the headers for the response will give something like this       curl  v https   api snaptrade com api v1         date  Fri  13 Oct 2023 00 32 06 GMT   content type  application json   content length  71   server  gunicorn   vary  Accept  DNT  origin  Cookie   allow  GET  HEAD  OPTIONS   x frame options  DENY   x request id  27fcf193c58c4a646aa9fd90e833ab29   x content type options  nosniff   referrer policy  same origin   cross origin opener policy  same origin      If you need to contact us about a specific request  providing the request identifier will ensure the fastest possible resolution

  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      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

  How to Fix Broken Connections  A SnapTrade connection provides direct access to a user s trading account  Users choose to make a brokerage connection  and the connection is established in one of the following ways     The user enters an OAuth connection flow and grants access to their account s     The user enters their brokerage credentials in SnapTrade  which are used to login and generate an access token   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  It is important to understand that SnapTrade works with live trading accounts  which contain real money and real investments  Since the potential damages associated with any form of unauthorized access are high  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  broken connection  which will no longer provide live data until it is fixed 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 broken 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 brokerage authorizations endpoint   api Connections listBrokerageAuthorizations   for each user and checking the  disabled  status  When  disabled    true   the connection is broken and the user must take an action to fix it     How to fix a broken 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  also known as brokerage authorization 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 broken 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  

How to Fix Broken Connections

  Methods to Integrate the Connection Portal into Your Application  This document outlines the various methods for integrating the connection portal with your application  You can choose from the following methods      1  Implementation via Regular Web Browser    Why use this method     This method is suitable for applications aiming to open external links in a separate browser window or tab  requiring minimal setup without additional SDKs or libraries  It s straightforward but does necessitate users temporarily leaving your platform     Example Flow     1  The user clicks on  Connect Institution  in your app  2  A new browser tab opens where the user completes the connection to their broker  3  After connecting  the user clicks  Done  to return to your app     Key Considerations       To monitor window messages for successful connections or failures  the connection portal must be opened in a new window using  window opener   otherwise  capturing client side window messages is not feasible  Find guidance on how to monitor window messages  here   window messages to monitor on the client side     You can provide a custom redirect to navigate the user back to a specific page in your app post connection    Enable  immediateRedirect  by setting it to  true  within the login link to automatically redirect users back to your application  either to the custom or default redirect page  upon   successfully connecting or in the case of a connection failure      2  Implementation Using React SDK  For React applications  the  snaptrade react  SDK offers a seamless integration process  For installation and setup instructions  refer to  SnapTrade React SDK on npm  https   www npmjs com package snaptrade react      Why use this method     This method is recommended for React applications because it offers a streamlined integration process that renders the connection portal in an iframe to keep the connection flow within your application  The SDK also provides built in callbacks that allow you to use client side window messages for monitoring successful connections or failures  ensuring a smoother user experience     Callbacks provided by the SDK        onSuccess   This function is executed when a user successfully connects their   institution  and it returns the authorization ID associated with the new connection     onError   This function is triggered when a user encounters an error while   attempting to connect to their institution  The function returns an   object containing error code  status code  and a detailed   description of the error     onExit   This function is triggered when a user opts to exit the connection flow or closes the second tab opened for making an oAuth connection      3  Implementation via an iFrame    Why use this method     This method is ideal if you want to keep the connection flow within your application  providing a more integrated user experience  It s especially useful if you re not using React for your frontend but still want to maintain the connection process within your app     Example Flow     1  Install a library that offers a Modal component or use your own  In this example  we will use the Modal component from Ant Design  https   ant design components modal 2  Import the Modal component in your React project  3  Load the generated login link within the iframe      jsx import   Modal   from  antd    const MyModal             const loginLink     LOGIN LINK       return        Modal title  SnapTrade Connection Portal  visible footer  null          iframe         id  snaptrade

Trading with SnapTrade

  Webhooks  The SnapTrade API can be configured to send you webhook notifications when certain events happen   To get started with webhooks  contact your Customer Success Manager  They will need the URL of your webhook handler for webhook notifications to begin to be sent     Verifying Webhook Authenticity  You can verify the authenticity of any SnapTrade webhook by verifying the  webhookSecret  field contained in the body of any webhook   Contact your customer success manager to get the correct value of this secret   Aside from webhook secrets     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 or 201  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 10 retry attempts have been made     Webhook Types  The different webhook event types are outlined below

Webhooks

Check whether the API is operational and verify timestamps.

Get API Status

Returns a list of all registered user IDs. Please note that the response is not currently paginated.

List all users

Registers a new SnapTrade user under your Client ID. A user secret will be automatically generated for you and must be properly stored in your system.
Most SnapTrade operations require a user ID and user secret to be passed in as parameters.


Register user

Deletes a registered user and all associated data. This action is irreversible. This API is asynchronous and will return a 200 status code if the request is accepted. The user and all associated data will be queued for deletion. Once deleted, a `USER_DELETED` webhook will be sent.

Delete user

Authenticates a SnapTrade user and returns the Connection Portal URL used for connecting brokerage accounts. Please check [this guide](/docs/implement-connection-portal) for how to integrate the Connection Portal into your app.

Please note that the returned URL expires in 5 minutes.


Generate Connection Portal URL

Rotates the secret for a SnapTrade user. You might use this if `userSecret` is compromised. Please note that if you call this endpoint and fail to save the new secret, you'll no longer be able to access any data for this user, and your only option will be to delete and recreate the user, then ask them to reconnect.


Rotate user secret

Returns configurations for your SnapTrade Client ID, including allowed brokerages and data access.

Get Client Info

Returns a list of balances, positions, and recent orders for the specified account. The data returned is similar to the data returned over the more fine-grained [balances](/reference/Account%20Information/AccountInformation_getUserAccountBalance), [positions](/reference/Account%20Information/AccountInformation_getUserAccountPositions) and [orders](/reference/Account%20Information/AccountInformation_getUserAccountOrders) endpoints. __The finer-grained APIs are preferred. They are easier to work with, faster, and have better error handling than this coarse-grained API.__

The data returned here is cached. How long the data is cached for varies by brokerage. Check the [brokerage integrations doc](https://snaptrade.notion.site/66793431ad0b416489eaabaf248d0afb?v=d16c4c97b8d5438bbb2d8581ac53b11e) and look for "Cache Expiry Time" to see the exact value for a specific brokerage. **If you need real-time data, please use the [manual refresh](/reference/Connections/Connections_refreshBrokerageAuthorization) endpoint**.


List account holdings

Returns all brokerage accounts across all connections known to SnapTrade for the authenticated user.

The data returned here is always cached and refreshed once a day. **If you need real-time data, please use the [manual refresh](/reference/Connections/Connections_refreshBrokerageAuthorization) endpoint**.

List account recent orders

Returns a list of orders executed in the last 24 hours in the specified account.
This endpoint is realtime and can be used to quickly check if account state has recently changed due to an execution
Differs from /orders in that it only returns orders that have been *executed* in the last 24 hours as opposed to pending or cancelled orders up to 30 days old
*Please contact support for access as this endpoint is not enabled by default.*


List account recent executed orders

Returns quotes from the brokerage for the specified symbols and account. The quotes returned can be delayed depending on the brokerage the account belongs to. It is highly recommended that you use your own market data provider for real-time quotes instead of relying on this endpoint. This endpoint does not work for options quotes.

Get symbol quotes

Attempts to cancel an open order with the brokerage. If the order is no longer cancellable, the request will be rejected.


Cancel order

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.

The search results are further limited to the symbols supported by the brokerage for which the account is under.


Search account symbols

Returns a list of option positions in the specified account. For stock/ETF/crypto/mutual fund positions, please use the [positions endpoint](/reference/Account%20Information/AccountInformation_getUserAccountPositions).

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.

SnapTrade performs de-duping on connections for a given user. If the user has an existing connection with the brokerage, when connecting the brokerage with the same credentials, SnapTrade will return the existing connection instead of creating a new one.


List all connections

Deletes the connection specified by the ID. This will also delete all accounts and holdings associated with the connection. This action is irreversible. This endpoint is synchronous, a 204 response indicates that the connection has been successfully deleted.

Delete connection

Returns a single connection for the specified ID.

Get connection detail

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.

*Please contact support for access as this endpoint is not enabled by default.*


Refresh holdings for a connection

Manually force the specified connection to become disabled. This should only be used for testing a reconnect flow, and never used on production connections.
Will trigger a disconnect as if it happened naturally, and send a [`CONNECTION_BROKEN` webhook](/docs/webhooks#webhooks-connection_broken) for the connection.

*Please contact us in order to use this endpoint as it is disabled by default.*


Force disable connection

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 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 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 order

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.

The data returned here is always cached and refreshed once a day. **If you need real-time data, please use the [manual refresh](/reference/Connections/Connections_refreshBrokerageAuthorization) endpoint**.

The time the order was executed in the brokerage system. This value is not always available from the brokerage.

- The user has changed their username or password at the brokerage.
- The user has explicitly removed the access grant at the brokerage.

This enables users to link multiple FIGIs for the same security in order to obtain an aggregated view across all countries and all exchanges. For example, `AAPL` has a different FIGI for each exchange/trading venue it is traded on. The `figi_share_class` is the same for all of these FIGIs. See section 1.4.3 of the [FIGI Standard](https://www.openfigi.com/assets/local/figi-allocation-rules.pdf) for more information.

1. Initial connection - SnapTrade syncs all holdings (positions, balances, recent orders, and transactions) immediately after the connection is established.
2. Daily sync - Once a day SnapTrade refreshes all holdings from the brokerage.
3. Manual sync - You can trigger a refresh of holdings with the [manual refresh](/reference/Connections/Connections_refreshBrokerageAuthorization) endpoint.
