  title: FOREX.com REST Account Market API
  description: The FOREX.com REST API, hosted at ciapi.cityindex.com/TradingAPI, enables algorithmic traders to authenticate sessions, retrieve real-time and historical price data, execute buy/sell orders across 80+ forex and CFD markets, and manage account balances, positions, and order history programmatically. Authentication uses a session-based header credential obtained from the /session endpoint. A separate FIX API is available for institutional clients.
