Note
Trading212 is supported by AlgoCloud, but the Trading212 API is still in BETA — only Demo (paper) accounts are currently supported. Live (real money) trading via API is not yet enabled by Trading212.
Link account for Trading212
Step 1 - Generate your API key
Full instructions are available in Trading212 help: How can I generate an API key?
Log in to your Trading212 account and go to Settings → API, then click Generate API key.
⚠️ Important: Enable ALL permissions in the list. If any permission is missing, the connection to AlgoCloud will fail with a "Saving connected account failed - 401" error.
Copy the generated API key — you will paste it into AlgoCloud in the next step.
Step 2 - Link to broker in AlgoCloud
In AlgoCloud, go to the Connected accounts screen (Trading → Broker connections). This is where you manage all connections to brokers.
Click the Link account button.
A wizard will guide you through the connection. In the first step, choose Trading212 from the list of supported brokers.
In the second step, fill in the connection details:
Connection name — any name (used internally in AlgoCloud, e.g. T212 Demo)
Account type — select Demo (only Demo is currently supported by the Trading212 API)
API key — paste the API key you generated in Step 1
The third step (optional) is to enable Account protection — AlgoCloud will stop trading if your drawdown exceeds the set threshold.
After clicking Submit, the connection is created and AlgoCloud will retrieve your account balance, equity and positions from Trading212.
Troubleshooting
Error: "Saving connected account failed - 401"
A 401 error means the API key does not have all required permissions. Return to Trading212 → Settings → API, delete the existing key, generate a new one and make sure all permissions in the list are enabled before confirming.
I only see "Connection name", "Account type" and "API key" fields — no "Account ID" or "password"
That is the correct, current UI. The Trading212 connection uses only the API key — you do not need an Account ID or password. Older screenshots showing those fields are outdated.
Can I connect my Trading212 real-money account?
Not yet. Trading212's API is in beta and currently supports Demo accounts only. Live trading via API will be added once Trading212 enables it on their side.
