Trading 212 API POST /api/v0/equity/history/exports
Ask for a CSV report of account history over a period. The report is built in the background: the reply is a reportId to look for in the list of reports.
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.
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). The reference calls the API a beta and says it works only for Invest and Stocks ISA accounts. The reference does not flag any body field as required, so none is marked required here. Documented rate limit: 1 request every 30 seconds.
Parameters
| Name | In | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Content-Typerequired | header | string | Send application/json on a request with a body. |
| timeFromnot marked by the vendor | body | string | Start of the period, as a date time. |
| timeTonot marked by the vendor | body | string | End of the period, as a date time. |
| dataIncludednot marked by the vendor | body | object | Which data to include, as four booleans: includeDividends, includeInterest, includeOrders and includeTransactions. |
3 fields are tagged not marked by the vendor: timeFrom, timeTo, dataIncluded. The vendor's page lists them and marks them neither required nor optional. That describes the page, not a test of what the host accepts, so the samples send them with a placeholder.
Authentication headers
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Authorizationrequired | string | 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 writes these same snippets, from the same record.
This call takes a request body. The samples send it as JSON with a Content-Type of application/json (in Python, passing json= sets that header) and a placeholder for each of the 3 body fields the vendor's page marks neither required nor optional, named in the sample's own comment. Each placeholder has to be replaced with a real value before the request can succeed.
Python

# Replace each {placeholder}, "..." and 0 with a real value before running.
# Not marked required or optional on the vendor's page, so sent here with a placeholder: timeFrom, timeTo, dataIncluded. Leave out any the call does not need.
