Holdings

/holdings

https://docs.snaptrade.com/reference/accountinformation_getalluserholdings

Used to return all holdings information for each account a user has connected in the following format:

[
  {  
    "account": account info,  
    "balances": balance info,  
    "positions": position info,  
    "option_positions": option position info,  
    "orders": recent order info,  
    "errors": error encountered if any,  
    "total_value": total value of the account,  
  }
]

Pros:

• Can fetch all relevant account info in one api call

Cons:

• Can be slower response compared to calling only what you need individually

Tips:

• Can filter to return holdings only for a particular authorization id, by passing that ID as a query param
• Can instead use /accounts/{account_id}/holdings to only get holdings for a specific account
• If looking to instead fetch holdings info in parts, you can split up the calls with the endpoints listed below. No reason to use the below endpoints in addition to the holdings endpoint, since information returned from below endpoint is already available in the holdings call
