# List account positions

`GET /accounts/{accountId}/positions`

> **Deprecated.**

**Deprecated.** Use the newer [unified positions endpoint](/reference/Account%20Information/AccountInformation_getAllAccountPositions) instead. This will allow you to get both equity and option positions in a single call, as well as additional asset classes such as futures.

Returns a list of stock/ETF/crypto/mutual fund positions in the specified account. For option positions, please use the [options endpoint](/reference/Options/Options_listOptionHoldings).

Check your API key on the [Customer Dashboard billing page](https://dashboard.snaptrade.com/settings/billing) to see if you have real-time data access:
  - If you do, this endpoint returns real-time data.
  - If you don't, Daily data is cached and refreshed once a day. Exact refresh timing may vary by brokerage. If you need real-time, use the [manual refresh](/reference/Connections/Connections_refreshBrokerageAuthorization) endpoint.

If the connection has become disabled, it can no longer access the latest data from the brokerage, but will continue to return the last available cached state. Please see [this guide](/docs/fix-broken-connections) on how to fix a disabled connection.

## Path parameters

- `accountId` string, uuid, required — Unique identifier for the connected brokerage account. This is the UUID used to reference the account in SnapTrade.

## Query parameters

- `userId` string, required — SnapTrade User ID. This is chosen by the API partner and can be any string that is a) unique to the user, and b) immutable for the user. It is recommended to NOT use email addresses for this property because they are usually not immutable.
- `userSecret` string, required — SnapTrade User Secret. This is a randomly generated string and should be stored securely. If compromised, please rotate it via the [rotate user secret endpoint](/reference/Authentication/Authentication_resetSnapTradeUserSecret).

## Response `200`

  - `symbol` PositionSymbol — Uniquely describes a security for the position within an account. The distinction between this and the `symbol` child property is that this object is specific to a position within an account, while the `symbol` child property is universal across all brokerage accounts.
