Positions #

The positions API provides information about an account’s current open positions. The response will include information such as cost basis, shares traded, and market value, which will be updated live as price information is updated. Once a position is closed, it will no longer be queryable through this API.

GET /v1/accounts/positions

Retrieves a list of the account’s open positions.

Request #

Parameters #

Attribute Type Notes
page integer The number of the page of the results to be fetched.

Response #

The response contains two fields:

  • asof: the timestamp for which the positions are returned. It is always the last market close
  • positions: an account-id to position list map, contains the requested page’s accounts

The positions map is empty for the last page.

Note: when fetching bulk positions, which can take multiple minutes depending on the number of accounts managed have, a market close can happen, and after that a new set of results might be returned. To make sure results are consistent, please always check that the as_of field didn’t change during the whole fetching process.
