Tradier Brokerage API review
Affordable trading API with multi-leg orders, streaming data and paper trading.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tradier Brokerage API provides REST and streaming interfaces for brokerage account data, market information and trading. Developers can retrieve balances, buying power, positions, cost basis, orders, executions, account history and realized gain/loss records. The API also supports quotes, options chains, market data, equity orders, options orders and multi-leg strategies. Production and paper-trading environments make it suitable for developers building trading applications or account-connected workflows.
Pricing is tied to Tradier Brokerage plans. Lite costs $0 per month and includes API access, a web app and a mobile app. Pro costs $10 per month and adds a desktop app plus zero-commission stocks and equity/ETF options. Pro Plus costs $35 per month and includes API access, a desktop app and zero-commission stocks and equity/ETF options. API access is included across these plans, giving cost-conscious teams a free entry point and paid options for brokerage features.
The platform covers a broad brokerage workflow: account balances and buying power, historical balances, current positions, order and execution queries, market data retrieval, and streaming market or account events over HTTP or WebSockets. OAuth 2.0 supports approved partner applications, while individual developers generally use account API tokens. The API requires an active Tradier Brokerage account, and account-opening endpoints belong to the Tradier Advisor API rather than this Brokerage API. Teams needing webhook callbacks or unrestricted OAuth should consider another integration approach; teams seeking affordable equities and options access with paper trading should find the feature set aligned.
