Multi-asset investment specialist Saxo Bank has updated its OpenAPI, with the latest release enhancing the Charts service group.

Saxo has released a new version of its charting endpoint that has been improved in several ways.

The new horizon sampling starts at exchange/market opening time, where previously with v1, start times were “artificially” created respective to absolute times. This change will be most noticeable for instruments on exchange that start on the half hour, such as NASDAQ.

This may affect your scripts if you are doing any sort of recalculation, back-testing, or the like.

There are additional candle length (horizon) options, including, in minutes, : 2, 3, 180 (3 hour), 300 (5 hour), 129600 (3 months), and 518400 (1 year)

Version 3 of charts is what is currently used by Saxo platforms.

The request/response contract is identical to the current v1/charts endpoint, so switching should be plug-and-play – as simple changing v1 to v3 in the request.

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.
