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.

Independent and unofficialdeveloper.saxochecked 12 Oct 2026

Part of Saxo's Account History (hist) service group. Saxo lists 400 for an invalid date range, and 503. Saxo's page describes no required parameters explicitly; which combination of ClientKey or AccountKeys and dates the server insists on was not confirmed. Method, path and parameter names were re-read on Saxo's reference page for this call on 12 Oct 2026 and agree with this record. That page does not mark which parameters are required, so the required flags here were not re-checked, and the mock reply was not compared field by field.
