New Feature: Data Export API

As you may have seen in your account already, or read online, we have added a great new feature to help members take greater control of their portfolio data. You can now export your performance, holding and trade data in RSS, XML and CSV formats. We know many of you like to use your own applications to analyse your investment decisions, so you can now export and mash up your verified broker data.

As well as your account data, you can also export your live feed; that is the view of activity of the other members you are tracking.

Per the help topic on the settings page, to use the feeds you first have to enable this feature. Click on the link to generate a URL for you to access live data in your own or third party applications. Although each URL is unique these are not password protected to avoiding you having to log in to Covestor each time you want the data to update, so if you wish to disable a particular application click reset URLs.

We hope that you find this of benefit. You can find the export feature on all of your account pages. If there is any further data you are interested in having access to let us know and we will keep developing these.
