description: Morgan Stanley is a global financial services firm that offers a wide range of services to individuals, corporations,
  and governments. The firm is known for its investment banking and wealth management services, helping clients raise capital,
  make strategic acquisitions, and manage their assets. Morgan Stanley also provides services in areas such as asset management,
  trading, research, and risk management. Its public developer surface is split between an invitation-only institutional API
  Platform at developer.morganstanley.com (OAuth 2.0 with certificate-based token exchange, REST and WebSocket, built to the
  OpenAPI Specification) and the genuinely public E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley brokerage API at developer.etrade.com (OAuth
  1.0a, REST, with a sandbox).

  description: 'The institutional REST APIs on the Morgan Stanley API Platform let onboarded clients and third-party partners
    integrate Morgan Stanley data and services directly into their own systems and processes. The REST APIs are built to the
    OpenAPI Specification and follow the Microsoft API Guidelines, supporting tooling and code generation in all major languages.
    Access is by invitation only: developers must contact their Morgan Stanley representative to be onboarded, after which
    they can browse technical specifications, try APIs interactively in the portal, and acquire keys. APIs are secured with
    OAuth 2.0 using strong certificate-based exchange (Microsoft Entra / Azure AD confidential client credentials with a self-signed
    key pair and certificate thumbprint, via the MSAL library). OpenAPI documents are published inside the authenticated portal
    and are not publicly downloadable.'

  description: 'Alongside its REST APIs, the Morgan Stanley API Platform exposes streaming WebSocket APIs for onboarded institutional
    clients who need low-latency, event-driven data feeds rather than request/response polling. The public morganstanley/api
    GitHub repository ships Java and Python starter projects specifically for the WebSocket APIs, connecting over a wss://
    endpoint using the same security model as the REST APIs: OAuth 2.0 access tokens obtained from Microsoft Entra / Azure
    AD via certificate-based confidential-client authentication (client id, scopes, certificate thumbprint, and private key).
    As with the REST surface, the specific endpoints, scopes, and message schemas are provisioned per client during onboarding
    and are not published publicly; access requires contacting a Morgan Stanley representative.'

  description: 'E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley operates a genuinely public, self-service developer platform whose REST Accounts
    API gives an authenticated E*TRADE user''s authorized application access to detailed account information: the account
    list, cash and margin balances, portfolio positions, and transaction history. It is a versioned (V1) REST API documented
    with Swagger inside the portal, authenticated with OAuth 1.0a (request token, user authorization, access token, renewal,
    and revocation), and backed by a full sandbox environment (apisb.etrade.com) for testing before hitting the production
    host (api.etrade.com). This is the retail-brokerage arm of the Morgan Stanley umbrella and, unlike the institutional API
    Platform, its docs and sandbox are openly reachable to any developer who registers for a consumer/sandbox key.'

  description: The E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley Market Data API is the market-data module of the public E*TRADE V1 REST platform.
    It provides real-time and delayed equity and option quotes, option chains, and product/symbol lookup so applications can
    price instruments, research securities, and build watchlists and analytics. Like the rest of the E*TRADE surface it is
    authenticated with OAuth 1.0a on behalf of an E*TRADE account holder, documented with in-portal Swagger, and exercisable
    against the apisb.etrade.com sandbox before the api.etrade.com production host. Market-data access is subject to the E*TRADE
    API Developer Licensing Agreement and exchange entitlement rules. This is a public developer surface within the Morgan
    Stanley group.

  description: The E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley Order API is the trading module of the public E*TRADE V1 REST platform, letting
    an authorized application list an account's orders and preview, place, change, and cancel equity and option orders on
    behalf of the authenticated E*TRADE user. Because it moves real money, it is gated by OAuth 1.0a user authorization plus
    the E*TRADE API Developer Licensing Agreement, and E*TRADE provides a sandbox (apisb.etrade.com) so developers can validate
    order request/response syntax, sample responses, and deserialization logic without executing live trades before switching
    to the api.etrade.com production host. It is the retail order-management arm of the Morgan Stanley umbrella and is openly
    documented to registered developers.

  description: The E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley Alerts API is the notifications module of the public E*TRADE V1 REST platform.
    It lets an authorized application list the alerts E*TRADE has generated for the authenticated account holder, read the
    details of an individual alert, and delete alerts, so integrations can surface account, order, and market notifications
    inside their own experiences. It shares the platform's OAuth 1.0a user-authorization model, in-portal Swagger documentation,
    and the apisb.etrade.com sandbox for testing against sample data before using the api.etrade.com production host. As part
    of the retail E*TRADE brokerage within the Morgan Stanley group, its documentation is openly available to registered developers
    under the E*TRADE API Developer Licensing Agreement.
