Broker APIs with a quickstart on this site
A quickstart walks from getting access to making a first call, one step at a time. It is the shortest route to finding out whether an API will do what you need.
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.
Not recorded means this site holds no record. It does not mean the broker or platform lacks it. Rows are in name order, the order is not a ranking, and nothing here recommends a broker.
How each row is decided
Yes means this site publishes a quickstart record for it. Not recorded means this site has written none yet.

- Not recorded
- This site holds no yes or no for it. That is a gap in this dataset. It is not a statement that the broker or platform lacks the capability. 19 of the 29 rows below.
