QuickStart Guide

Welcome to the Stonex API QuickStart guide.

In this guide we will go through the basics for connectivity to the API, booking your first trade and instructing payments to beneficiaries & checking the status of your payments.

Step 1 : Set up connection

To obtain your API keys, contact your account management team. Once complete, use the Ping API to check your connectivity.

curl --request GET \
     --url https://api.sandbox.payments.stonex.com/api/v1/ping

Step 2: Request a quote

Get a quote for the trade you want to book

curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.sandbox.payments.stonex.com/api/v1/quote 

Step 3: Book a trade

Using the quoteId received in the previous step, call the Trade API to book the trade.

curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.sandbox.payments.stonex.com/api/v1/trade

Step 4: Provide Payment Instructions

Once you have booked a trade, you will receive a unique fxId for the trade. Using the fxId, provide the beneficiary details in the Instruct API

curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.sandbox.payments.stonex.com/api/v1/trade/instruct

Step 5: Check Payment Status

After a payment is instructed successfully, we will wait for the trade to be reimbursed before initiating the payment to your beneficiary. Please discuss your reimbursement methods with the account manager as we can accept payment in multiple ways. Once the trade is reimbursed, the payment instructions are released to your beneficiary and you can check the status of the payment using the Status API

curl --request GET \
     --url https://api.sandbox.payments.stonex.com/api/v1/trade/fxid/status
