Get User's Exchanges

Retrieve the list of exchanges available to a specific user

PreviousGet User's Trading SettingsNextAccess Agreements

Last updated 1 year ago

Overview

This GET endpoint enables you to fetch the list of exchanges available to a specific user.

There are four required parameters that must be provided in the request:

  1. Authorization (header). This is the authorization token from the very first . The value of this header must have the following format: Bearer BQ898r9fefi (Bearer + 1 space + the token).

  2. userID (path). This is the internal ID of the user whose exchanges you'd like to list. If you're sending the request on behalf of the user whose authorization token is used to perform the request, set this parameter to @me.

  3. API version (path). Unless necessary, leave it at "1.0".

The user information request must be sent to the following URL:

GET apiURL/v1.0/users/{userID}/exchanges

Response

In response, you'll receive a JSON file containing the list of exchanges available to that user:

[
  "NYSE",
  "KNIGHT",
  "NSDQ",
  "Auto",
  "VIRTEX",
  "FXCM",
  "ARCA",
  "BATS",
  "MNGD",
  "EDGX"
]

If a trader selects Auto when placing an order, this order will be routed to the most appropriate exchange.
