TradeLocker API error code
TradeLocker API error: 401 Unauthorized
What does 401 Unauthorized mean on the TradeLocker API?
TradeLocker lists 401 with the description "Unauthorized" as a response of its /trade routes, including placing, modifying and cancelling orders. The reference gives the status no further description. The same routes are documented as secured with a Bearer token.
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.
