Account Information

List account balances

Returns a list of balances for the account. Each element of the list has a distinct currency. Some brokerages like Questrade allows holding multiple currencies in the same account.

Check your API key on the Customer Dashboard billing page 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 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 on how to fix a disabled connection.

get/accounts/{accountId}/balances

Path parameters

accountIdstring uuid required

Unique identifier for the connected brokerage account. This is the UUID used to reference the account in SnapTrade.

Example:917c8734-8470-4a3e-a18f-57c3f2ee6631

Query parameters

userIdstring 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.

Example:snaptrade-user-123
userSecretstring 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.

Example:adf2aa34-8219-40f7-a6b3-60156985cc61

Response

OK

cashnumber nullable

The amount of available cash in the account denominated in the currency of the currency field. This value can be negative in a margin account with a margin balance. Money market funds will be included in this field, and also returned in positions endpoints with cash_equivalent = true

buying_powernumber nullable

Buying power only applies to margin accounts. For non-margin accounts, buying power should be the same as cash. Please note that this field is not always available for all brokerages.
