# Trading 212 API GET /api/v0/equity/history/dividends

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/trading-212/endpoints/history-dividends, 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.

Dividends paid into the account, paged, with the amount, the quantity held and the per share figure.

Note: Read on 12 Oct 2026 in Trading 212's own API reference at docs.trading212.com/api and the OpenAPI description that page offers for download (docs.trading212.com/_bundle/api.json).

## Parameters

- `cursor` (in query, type integer, optional): Pagination cursor, taken from nextPagePath in the previous reply.
- `limit` (in query, type integer, optional): Items per page. Default 20, maximum 50.
- `ticker` (in query, type string, optional): Limit the reply to one instrument ticker.

### Authentication headers

- `Authorization` (type string, required): Send Basic followed by the Base64 encoding of your API key, a colon and your API secret. Placeholder only: never paste real credentials into this site.

## Request

Written from the method, path and parameters recorded on this page, against the demo host. Not executed against a live or demo account. Credentials are read from environment variables on your own machine and are never entered on this site. The request builder at https://openbrokerapi.com/tools/request-builder writes these same snippets, from the same record.

## Response

## Limits that apply at Trading 212

- Headline limit: 1 req/5s, account summary (example)
  - Scope: account
  - Status: verified. Source: [docs.trading212.com](https://docs.trading212.com/api/section/rate-limiting), checked 2026-10-12.
  - Note: Limits are set per endpoint and applied per account; this is the account summary example from the docs, not a single global figure. A different endpoint on the same docs page carries a much higher limit, order placement (POST market order) at 50 requests a minute, about one call every 1.2 seconds, shown elsewhere on this site's re-verified note dated 23 Sep 2026. The two figures are not a contradiction: they are two different endpoints on one rate-limiting page, read account summary 22 Sep 2026 and order placement 23 Sep 2026. Build a rate limiter against the endpoint you actually call, not against either figure alone.
