ThinkMarkets API options
Spread betting and CFDs on ThinkTrader, MT4 and MT5. Unverified The statement about access this rests on could not be confirmed at its source.
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.
Access, authentication and streaming
- How you get a key
Unverified. ThinkMarkets' site and its support centre answered 403 Forbidden to automated reading on 12 Oct 2026 (the UK home page, the institutional page and the spread betting help article), so no ThinkMarkets page was opened and nothing could be confirmed either way. Carried over from the prototype and not confirmed: no API of ThinkMarkets' own for retail clients, with automation through MetaTrader. The MCP register on this site holds a ThinkMarkets server read from a press interview, not from ThinkMarkets' own pages.
