Multi-asset investment specialist Saxo Bank is planning updates to its OpenAPI, including the removal of SignalR based streaming.

Since the introduction of its Websocket based streaming solution back in 2018, Saxo has slowly been removing all references to its previous SignalR based streaming protocol. But until now, the SignalR functionality has stayed active for those older apps still using it. This will change from August 2024 when Saxo will remove this functionality, which will result in these apps failing to establish streaming connections.

Very few apps are still utilizing SignalR, so Saxo does not expect this will have a big impact, but if your app still does, please migrate to Websocket streaming before August 2024.

OpenAPI for Excel add-in users should note that this impacts anything except the latest version of Saxo’s OpenAPI for Excel.

Saxo has been regularly updating its OpenAPI. In January 2024, several service groups were enhanced, including Account History and Portfolio.

Saxo Bank’s OpenAPI offers:

• Access to all resources and functionality required to build a high-performance multi-asset trading platform.
• Better integration with Saxo Bank for partners and affiliates through a growing set of resources, such as Saxo’s Onboarding API.
