# Swissquote API: FIX and REST, reached through a Swissquote office 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/swissquote, 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. A Swiss bank whose FIX and REST APIs are published on its institutional pages. - Kind: Broker API - Newest reading: 2026-10-12 - Official documentation: [swissquote.com](https://www.swissquote.com/en/institutional/solutions/technology/apis) - Everything recorded for Swissquote, as one JSON file: https://openbrokerapi.com/data/brokers/swissquote.json ## Access, authentication and streaming - How you get a key: Swissquote's APIs are presented on its institutional pages, which you reach by contacting a Swissquote office, not through a self service key. Three trading APIs are named there: a REST API on the OpenWealth standard for securities, cryptocurrencies and FX spot, a FIX API for securities and cryptocurrencies, and a dedicated FIX API for leveraged forex whose stated client types are corporates, banks and retail brokers. Separately, the platform comparison table on Swissquote's UK private client pages lists FIX API as a feature of the CFXD platform and not of MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5, which carry Expert Advisors instead. That table does not say how a private client applies for FIX access. - Status: verified.

The pages opened on 12 Oct 2026 do not describe how a session is authenticated.

For securities, the FAQ says no market data is available over the FIX API, and for digital assets a dedicated FIX session gives market data. No streaming limits are stated on the pages opened. - Status: verified.
