Please note: Legacy IDs cannot be used at the new URLs and new IDs cannot be used with legacy URLs.

  • Password changes via FIXML messaging over the API will not be allowed.
• Ownership of an API ID may be transferred from the API ID creator to another SMART Click user at the same firm.
  • New owner must know the API ID and password to effect the change.
