# Pepperstone API Independent and unofficial. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any broker or platform named here. Educational only: nothing here is advice, and nothing here recommends a broker or a trade. This is the markdown version of https://openbrokerapi.com/brokers/pepperstone, written from the same records as that page. Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders. Spread bets and CFDs with MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView, plus an API offered by application. - Kind: Broker API - Newest reading: 2026-10-12 - Official documentation: [pepperstone.com](https://pepperstone.com/en/platforms/tools/api-trading) - Everything recorded for Pepperstone, as one JSON file: https://openbrokerapi.com/data/brokers/pepperstone.json ## Access, authentication and streaming - How you get a key: API by application.
