GET/trade/v1/infopricesversion v1Prices

Returns a one off price snapshot (bid, ask, mid and delay) for one instrument. For a live feed Saxo offers price subscriptions over the streaming connection instead.

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.

Saxo lists 404 IllegalInstrumentId and 400 codes such as InvalidUic and InstrumentNotAllowed. 503 Service Unavailable is also listed. Quote.DelayedByMinutes shows when prices are delayed. Saxo's parameter table for this call has no required or optional column; the required flags here are our reading of Saxo's descriptions and example request, not markers on Saxo's page. 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.

Uicrequired, not confirmed	query	integer	Unique id of the instrument.

The required marks on this page are this site's reading of secondary material, as the note above says. Which fields the API insists on is not confirmed on the provider's own reference.
