TradeLocker API GET /trade/quotes

GET/trade/quotesMarket data

Read the current bid and ask of one instrument, with the size at each.

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.

Independent and unofficialpublic-api.tradelocker.comchecked 12 Oct 2026

Read on 12 Oct 2026 on TradeLocker's own reference page for this call, in the Markdown version the documentation site serves at the same address with .md on the end. That page carries the call's OpenAPI definition, headed Trading API version 2.11.0: the method, path, parameters and required marks here are that definition's. In the reply ap is the ask price, as the best ask size, bp the bid price and bs the best bid size. The mock reply uses those field names with invented values.

Parameters

accNumrequired	header	integer	The account number that selects which of the login's accounts the call acts on. It is the accNum from GET /auth/jwt/all-accounts, not the accountId.

tradableInstrumentIdrequired	query	integer	The identifier of the instrument, as tradableInstrumentId in the list of instruments.

Authentication headers

Name	Type	Description
Authorizationrequired	string	Send Bearer followed by the accessToken from POST /auth/jwt/token. The reference marks the call as secured by a bearer JWT. Placeholder only: never paste a real token into this site.

Request
