  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   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 don t officially support custom setups without an SDK  you can copy the signature generation logic from any of our SDKs if you want to go that route       SnapTrade SDKs      Language       SDK Link                     Python

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 The terms  Connections  and  Brokerage Authorizations  are interchangeable  In most documents  the term  connection  is used           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  use the  api AccountInformation listUserAccounts  endpoint 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 250312 model png

Getting Started with SnapTrade

  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   implement connection portal 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 connection portal          src  loginLink          title  SnapTrade Connection Portal          allowfullscreen          iframe        Modal           export default MyModal         Key Considerations       Find guidance on how to monitor window messages  here   implement connection portal window messages to monitor on the client side     This method may require additional styling and layout considerations to ensure the iframe fits appropriately within your application s design      4  Implementation in a React Native WebView    Why use this method    This method is ideal for React Native applications that want to keep the connection flow within the app while leveraging the power of WebView     Example Flow     1  Install the  react native webview  library   npm install react native webview  2  Import the WebView component in your React Native project  3  Load the generated login link within the WebView component 4  Utilize the  onMessage  prop to handle window messages      jsx import   WebView   from  react native webview   const MyWebView             const loginLink     LOGIN LINK       return        WebView       source            uri  loginLink                 javaScriptEnabled  true        injectedJavaScript        window addEventListener  message   event            window ReactNativeWebView postMessage event data                       onMessage   event               const messageData   event nativeEvent data          if  messageData                Handle window messages here                                Key Considerations       Find guidance on how to monitor window messages  here   implement connection portal window messages to monitor on the client side       5  Implementation in an iOS WebView    Why use this method     This method is ideal for native iOS applications that want to keep the connection flow within the app while leveraging the power of WebView components     Example Flow     1  Import the necessary WebView component   UIWebView  or  WKWebView   in your iOS project  2  Load the generated login link within the WebView component  3  Set up appropriate delegates or handlers to manage events like successful connections or connection failures      swift import UIKit import WebKit  class MyWebViewController  UIViewController  WKNavigationDelegate      var webView  WKWebView    let loginLink     LOGIN LINK     override func loadView         let webConfiguration   WKWebViewConfiguration       webView   WKWebView frame   zero  configuration  webConfiguration      webView navigationDelegate   self     view addSubview webView         override func viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad       let request   URLRequest url  URL string  loginLink        webView load request         func webView   webView  WKWebView  didFinish navigation  WKNavigation             Handle window messages here               Key Considerations       Find guidance on how to monitor window messages  here   implement connection portal window messages to monitor on the client side       6  Implementation in an Android WebView    Why use this method     This method is ideal for native Android applications that want to keep the connection flow within the app while leveraging the power of WebView components     Example Flow     1  Import the  WebView  component in your Android project  2  Load the generated login link within the  WebView  component  3  Set up appropriate listeners or handlers to manage events like successful connections or connection failures      java import android webkit WebView  import android webkit WebViewClient   public class MyWebViewActivity extends AppCompatActivity       private WebView webView      private String loginLink     LOGIN LINK         Override     protected void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState            super onCreate savedInstanceState           setContentView R layout activity main            webView    WebView  findViewById R id webView           webView setWebViewClient new WebViewClient                  Override             public void onPageFinished WebView view  String url                     Handle window messages here                                   webView loadUrl loginLink                  Key Considerations       Find guidance on how to monitor window messages  here   implement connection portal window messages to monitor on the client side       Window Messages to Monitor on the client side      SUCCESS   Indicates successful institution connection  The message contains the authorization ID       Structure            status   SUCCESS   authorizationId   AUTHORIZATION ID              Note  Legacy string format  SUCCESS AUTHORIZATION ID  is for backward compatibility and it may be deprecated in the future  It is essential to use the object format      ERROR   Sent when a connection error occurs  including an error code  status code and description       Structure            status   ERROR   errorCode   ERROR CODE

essential to use the object format      CLOSED   Sent when the user closes the OAuth connection window that opens in a new tab       Note  This window message only triggers if connection portal is loading in an Iframe   3   implement connection portal 3 implementation via an iframe      CLOSE MODAL   Sent when the user opts to exit the connection flow or clicks  Done  after successful connection  if the portal is not already closed when listening for  SUCCESS        Note  This window message only triggers if connection portal is loading in an Iframe   3   implement connection portal 3 implementation via an iframe      ABANDONED   Functions the same as  CLOSE MODAL  but only triggers for non iframe implementations   aside       Note    When loading the connection portal in an iframe  your application is responsible for closing the modal and displaying success error messages post  u OAuth connections  u      aside     Example of how these events can be captured in a React app        jsx useEffect           const handleMessageEvent    e           if  e data          const data   e data        if  data status      SUCCESS             const authorizationId   data

  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  You can verify the authenticity of any SnapTrade webhook by verifying the  webhookSecret  field contained in the body of any webhook   The correct value of this secret can be found when you configure a webhook listener in the SnapTrade Dashboard   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  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

  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      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

  Brokerage Integrations  SnapTrade supports opening connections to 20  financial institutions around the world  Sometimes a single institution can have multiple integrations depending on geography or account type  For example we support Webull USA and Webull Canada as two distinct integrations  Similarly  Alpaca and Alpaca Paper are two distinct integrations despite belonging to the same company  For in depth information on each brokerage that we support  please refer to  SnapTrade Brokerage Integrations  https   www notion so SnapTrade Brokerage Integrations f83946a714a84c3caf599f6a945f0ead pvs 21

  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 Metadata   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   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 TransactionsAndReporting getActivities   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     Caching  Responses to the Account Data APIs are always cached  We have a daily sync process that refreshes all account data for all connections at least once every 24 hours  You can listen to the   ACCOUNT HOLDING UPDATED   https   www notion so Webhooks 298cb05cc76943ccbb94d21cfb8137b1 pvs 21  webhook if you want to react to SnapTrade having new account data  If you want to refresh accounts on demand  you can call the  manual refresh  endpoint   api Connections refreshBrokerageAuthorization   Note that this endpoint may incur a cost        See also     Webhooks  https   docs snaptrade com docs webhooks     Getting Started with SnapTrade  https   docs snaptrade com docs getting started

  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

  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 brokerage authorizations 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  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 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     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  X  broker on my API Key   By default  all brokers which can be enabled for you are enabled  For now  broker

one of these           Account Information      What kind of accounts does SnapTrade support   We support all kinds of accounts and it is brokerage dependent  In general  if the brokerage returns it to us  we will return it over the API  You can refer to the  SnapTrade Broker Support Matrix  https   snaptrade notion site brokerages  and the field will be returned over the  raw type  on the account object       How do I determine if an activity indicates the position was bought or 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   snaptrade notion site brokerages       When does account data get synced daily   It is not consistent at the same time every day  but guarunteed

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

List account orders

A lightweight endpoint that 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, or check status of recently placed orders
Differs from /orders in that it is realtime, and only checks the last 24 hours as opposed to the last 30 days
By default only returns executed orders, but that can be changed by setting *only_executed* to false
**Please contact support for access as this endpoint is not enabled by default.**

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.
This endpoint will also trigger a transaction sync for the past day if one has not yet occurred.

**Please contact support before use. Because of the cost of refreshing a connection, each call to this endpoint incurs a additional charge of $0.05**


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.

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

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 a Bracket 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


Replaces an order with a new one

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

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.

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.

The data returned here is always cached and refreshed once a day.


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.

  - `GTC` - Good Til Canceled. The order is valid until it is executed or canceled.
  - `FOK` - Fill Or Kill. The order must be executed in its entirety immediately or be canceled completely.
