Multi-asset investment specialist Saxo Bank has announced upcoming changes to its OpenAPI.
As Saxo has released version 3 of the charts endpoints, it will be deprecating version 1 in February 2025.
Saxo has rolled out 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.
