Multi-asset investment specialist Saxo Bank has now moved all apps over to use its new Extended AssetTypes.
You have been impacted if any of the following is true:
- you know that you trade instruments of type ETF, ETN, ETC, Funds or Rights, but they have the AssetType “Stock” on OpenAPI.
- looking up the example instruments from the above tables returns the AssetType value listed under “Current AssetType Definition”.
The new asset type definition is present across all OpenAPI endpoints.
The biggest difference and benefit of switching to Extended AssetTypes will be noted when searching for instruments. Limiting a search to just “Stock” will lead to a smaller search result. To get the old behavior (that we don’t expect you will want) your code will have to provide the full range of the new AssetTypes.
