  • Introduction

    Here at WiseAlpha we are leading the digital revolution in the multi-trillion corporate bond market with a mission to create fair access for all. We are delighted to partner with you.

    The WiseAlpha API provides access to the WiseAlpha Fractional Bond Market where customers can trade corporate bonds.

    We provide two types of API access, Super accounts and Individual accounts. Super accounts (typically Fintechs, Banks and Online investment platforms) can onboard customers and route orders directly to the WiseAlpha market from their Customers on a real time execution basis. Individual accounts can access information and execute trades on behalf of their own account.

    When a Customer is on-boarded by a Super account, a series of steps must be taken including KYC/AML so that WiseAlpha can comply with its regulatory requirements. If you think that these steps can be simplified because of your own regulatory permissions and putting in place a suitable KYC/AML reliance agreement with us then please contact us.

    The WiseAlpha API is REST-based and returns responses in JSON.

    Our API is currently in beta, but please contact us if you're interested in learning more and getting early access to an API key. Until V1 is released we will be adding functionality with potentially breaking changes. All changes will be documented in the versioning section.

    We have usage examples in cURL and Python. You can view code examples in the area to the right, and you can switch between shell (i.e., using bash, cURL and jq) and Python.

    The root URL for all requests to the WiseAlpha production system is https://api.wisealpha.com/v1/. The production system will not be available until V1 is fully released, but a sandbox version is available at https://api-sandbox.wisealpha.com/v1/.

    General

    We publish a Corporate Bond Investment Glossary which is useful if you're unfamiliar with some of the terms used in this documentation.

    Authentication

    Token based authentication

    To authorize, use this code:

    import requests
    
    headers = {'Authorization': 'Token $API_KEY'}
    
    api = requests.get('$API_ROOT_URL/api_endpoint_here', headers=headers)
    
    # With shell, you can just pass the correct header with each request
    curl "$API_ROOT_URL/api_endpoint_here"
      -H "Authorization: Token $API_KEY"
    

    Make sure to replace $API_KEY with your API key.

    WiseAlpha uses API keys to allow access to the API. Access is limited to accounts that have been created by the account accessing the API. If you want to make API calls on behalf of another user see OAuth.

    WiseAlpha expects for the API key to be included in all API requests to the server in a header that looks like the following:

    Authorization: Token $API_KEY

    In the code examples, we use the string $API_KEY as a substitute for your API key.

    OAuth 2.0

    WiseAlpha also supports an OAuth 2.0 flow in order to make calls on behalf of a user. In order to do this you will need to set-up an application in the developer portal. Refer to the OAuth section for more information.

    Expansion

    Some endpoints will detail an Available Expansions section. This will detail what items maybe be optionally returned by the endpoint. To use an expansion include expand=expansion_name in the query string you send to the endpoint. Some endpoints may include multi-level expansions. Nest expansions are of the form expand=parent__child

    Field Exclusion

    Some endpoints allow field exclusion, this is done through providing the query string exclude=field_name. Nested exclusions are also supported and can be used like exclude=field__child_field

    Field Inclusion

    Some endpoints allow field inclusion, this is done through providing the query string only=field_name. Nested inclusions are also supported and can be used like only=field__child_field. All non-included fields will be excluded.

    Pagination

    api = requests.get('$API_ROOT_URL/customers/',
                       params={'offset': 5, 'limit': 5},
                       headers=headers)
    
    curl -s "$API_ROOT_URL/customers/?offset=5&limit=5" \
         -H 'Authorization: Token $API_KEY' | jq .
    

    Returns the following JSON pagination object:

    {
      "count":20,
      "next":"$API_ROOT_URL/customers/?limit=5&offset=10",
      "previous":"$API_ROOT_URL/customers/?limit=5",
      "results":[
        {
          "customer_id":"10000001",
          "email":"user5@wisealpha.com",
          ...
        }
        ...
      ]
    }
    

    For most lists of objects, you can limit the number of results returned via parameters to the GET request.

    So a request to $API_ROOT_URL/customers/?offset=5&limit=5 will return the second page of five senior secured bonds.

    Any request to a list resource returns a pagination object with the following fields:

    Name Description Type
    count Total number of results available Integer
    next Resource URL for the subsequent page of results String
    previous Resource URL for the previous page of results String
    results Results array Array

    If no limit is supplied, then the limit defaults to 100.

    Ordering

    api = requests.get('$API_ROOT_URL/customers/',
                       params={'ordering': '-date_joined',},
                       headers=headers)
    
    curl -s "$API_ROOT_URL/customers/?ordering=-date_joined" \
         -H 'Authorization: Token $API_KEY' | jq .
    

    Will order the customer list in descending order of the date_joined field

    List endpoints will provide details on the fields that the returned data can be ordered on. Prefix a field with - to order by the field descending, e.g. -created will return the data by the created field in descending order.

    Filtering

    api = requests.get('$API_ROOT_URL/customers/',
                       params={'last_name__istartswith': 'bar', 'first_name__icontains': 'foo'},
                       headers=headers)
    
    curl -s "$API_ROOT_URL/customers/?last_name__istartswith=bar&first_name__icontains=foo" \
         -H 'Authorization: Token $API_KEY' | jq .
    

    Will filter the customer by customers who's last name starts with bar and who's first name contains foo (both case insensitive)

    List endpoints will detail all the fields that support filtering and the lookups supported. A description of the lookups is given below. The filter string is formed by joining the field name and the lookup name with a __. E.g. filtering the last_name field to find last names beginning with bar (case insensitive) would be done by providing the query string argument last_name__istartswith=bar.

    Text field lookups

    Name Description
    exact Filter by exact matches
    iexact Filter by exact matches (case insensitive)
    contains Filter when the field contains the value
    icontains Filter when the field contains the value (case insensitive)
    startswith Filter when the field starts with the value
    istartswith Filter when the field starts with the value (case insensitive)
    endswith Filter when the field ends with the value
    iendswith Filter when the field ends with the value (case insensitive)

    Datetime field lookups

    Name Description
    gt Filter by records where the datetime is greater than
    gte Filter by records where the datetime is greater than or equal
    lt Filter by records where the datetime is less than
    lte Filter by records where the datetime is less than or equal
    exact Filter when the datetime matches

    Data types

    Throughout the API, in requests and responses, the WiseAlpha API uses the following basic data types.

    Data Type Description
    Integer An integer number, represented by the native JSON number type.
    Decimal A decimal number represented as a JSON string, e.g. "100.55". All money amounts are represented in this way.
    Float A decimal number represented as a JSON number, e.g. 1.123456789. This type is used when precision is important.
    Boolean A value of true/false represented by the native JSON Boolean type.
    String A text string
    DateTime An ISO 8601 DateTime string, e.g. "2015-01-01T00:00:00+00:00"
    Date An ISO 8601 calendar date, e.g., "2015-01-01"
    Array A collection of items
    Currency A string containing an ISO 4217 currency code
    Customer ID User accounts are identified using 8-digit integers, zero padded and encoded in a String. E.g., 10000001.
    In requests, you can use the special value me to target the user account associated with the API key.
    Reference ID Other objects are identified by a reference string, consisting of a type tag, and a zero-padded ID number. E.g., EVENT00000099
    Country Code An ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code e.g. 'gb'
    Limited Html String For some product descriptions we return a limited set of HTML. The HTML returned will be valid XHTML and be limited to the tags ['a', 'ul', 'li', 'p', 'div'] and the attributes ['href', 'alt'].
    Markdown String Markdown string

    Pricing

    The products on WiseAlpha are bought and sold at a price that's a percentage of par. So a price of 100 indicates that a £1 investment will buy £1 of the product. A price of 90 indicates that a £1 investment will buy £1.11 of the product. A price of 110 indicates that a £1 investment will buy £0.90 of the product.

    Rate limiting

    Currently the only active rate limiting is triggered by failed authentication requests. All other endpoints do not have a rate limit. WiseAlpha reserves the right to impose a rate limit on requests at a later date.

    Testing

    We provide a sandbox server that you can use to test out creating users, purchasing investments and responding to events. Updates to this server do not have real world effects, (and WiseAlpha may occasionally clear out any data contained in this server when re-syncing with the production system). To access the sandbox server, use the URL root https://api-sandbox.wisealpha.com/v1/.

    Versioning

    Non-breaking API changes may be made at any time by the WiseAlpha team. An example of a non-breaking change would be the addition of a field returned by an endpoint, addition of a new endpoint or additional of an optional parameter to an existing endpoint. Non-breaking changes will appear in the API Version log as a minor version number increase and will be documented and dated.

    Breaking API changes will be rolled out under a major version number, will have a new endpoint and will run in parallel with previous versions. In the event of the WiseAlpha team deprecating a previous API release there will be plenty of notice and help to move onto the new endpoints.

    API Version 1.0

    Release 2020-01-15

    Release 2019-10-03:

    Errors

    {
        "email": ["Customer with this Email already exists."]
    }
    

    On error, we return a suitable HTTP error code. For many errors, we also return the nature of the error as a JSON fragment as illustrated.

    Error Code Meaning
    400 Bad Request -- The request could not be processed due a client error
    401 Unauthorized -- Your API key could not be validated.
    403 Forbidden -- You tried to execute a request that you do not have rights to, i.e. make a trade on an account you do not have permission to trade on.
    404 Not Found -- The specified resource could not be found.
    405 Method Not Allowed -- You tried to access an endpoint with a method that it does not accept
    406 Not Acceptable -- You requested a format that isn't JSON.
    422 Unprocessable Entity - The request was understood but could not be processed. E.g. there where not sufficient funds available to complete a market order.
    500 Internal Server Error -- There was an unexpected server side problem.
    503 Service Unavailable -- We're temporarily offline for maintenance. Please try again later.

    OAuth

    In order to create and configure an OAuth application you will need a WiseAlpha account configured with access to the developer portal, contact our partners team if you're interested.

    The root URL for all OAuth requests to the WiseAlpha production system is https://www.wisealpha.com/o/. The production system will not be available until V1 is fully released, but a sandbox version is available at https://sandbox.wisealpha.com/o/. This URL might change before the production system is launched.

    Creating an app

    Once you can access the developer portal you will be able to create a new application. When creating the application you will need to provide:

    You will be provided with a client_id and client_secret which can be modified at creation time. Apps created on the sandbox environment cannot be moved to the production environment so you'll need to create a production app when you're ready to go live.

    When creating or editing your application you will see the below fields.

    Name Description
    Name The application name - users will see this when authorizing your application.
    client_id This publically identifies your application.
    client_secret This is your application's secret.
    client_type Either public or confidential depending on if the credentials retrieved can be stored in a secure way.
    authorization_grant_type Either authorization_code or implicit. Only authorization_code should be used for production applications - see the aside below
    redirect_uris The set of URIs that the server will return the browser to after the user grants or denies the application's request for access.

    Scopes

    In order to request a specific set of scopes when redirecting to the authorization URL, include the scope parameter with a space separated list of the below scopes. If this is not included, all scopes will be requested.

    Name Description
    read_investments Grants read access to the user's investment portfolio
    read_profile Grants read access to the user's profile
    write_profile Grants write access to the user's profile
    trade Grants access to trade
    fund Grants access to issue deposit and withdrawal requests
    create_account Grants access to create new investment accounts

    OAuth 2.0 Authorization code flow

    WiseAlpha supports a standard OAuth 2.0 Authorization code grant flow, at it's heart it's very simple:

    /authorize/

    api = requests.get('$OAUTH_ROOT_URL/authorize/?response_type=code&client_id=ZOknOs0kO02ZyUA8Z6eBUL3cJNip2pRUE0Oi6P71&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fauthorize&state=zxx5LbYXdbkbRhfUXCHz2SISHkUgMR&scope=read')
    
    curl -s "$OAUTH_ROOT_URL/authorize/?response_type=code&client_id=ZOknOs0kO02ZyUA8Z6eBUL3cJNip2pRUE0Oi6P71&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fauthorize&state=zxx5LbYXdbkbRhfUXCHz2SISHkUgMR&scope=read" \
         | jq .
    

    Will return the user to the redirect URL indicating if they have or have not accepted the request for access

    The user will see a screen like this:

    The page displayed to grant access to an application

    Once the user has granted or denied access to your application their browser will be redirected back to the provided redirect URI.

    /token/

    The token endpoint can be used to swap an authorization code for an access/refresh token as well as to using a refresh token to get a new access token.

    Customer Profiles

    These endpoints are used to fetch and update the personal information for WiseAlpha users.

    If you have a super account, you can use these endpoints to create managed WiseAlpha users, and progress them through the account onboarding process.

    You can also use these endpoints if you are not a super account. In this case, setting customer_id to me in the endpoints targets the user account associated with the API key. The list and create endpoints are only available to super accounts.

    You can find more details of the information we gather and how it is used in the onboarding section of this document.

    Investor type object

    We return a list of these objects from the investor_types endpoint.

    The intro_title and intro_content fields give a brief overview of what each investor type entails.

    The main_title and main_content outline the terms the user is agreeing to by selecting that investor type.

    Once a user has selected an investor type, the id and title fields are returned in the user's investor type summary object. The indentifier field can be used to map the investor type to it's required fields on submission of a change investor type request.

    GET Request

    This endpoint returns a list of all managed users associated with the API key in use. The data is returned as a list of profile object.

    POST Request

    This endpoint creates a new managed user account and associates it with the current API key.

    If the investor type change request is accepted, we return a 200 or 202 return code with a simple status body:

    {
      "status": "ok"
    }
    

    This endpoint is used to set the user's investor type via submitting a Change investor type object. Setting an investor type also implies the user has read and accepted the investor agreement for this investor type. As such, you should have shown the relevant document to the investor before calling this endpoint.

    WiseAlpha reserves the right to contact the user to discuss whether the selected investor type is appropriate for their circumstances.

    See the Change investor type object documentation for a description of what fields are required for each investor type.

    This endpoint fetches details of the questionnaires users must answer before accessing WiseAlpha investments. This is used to make sure the investor understands the nature of the investments and the risks involved.

    This endpoint requires a single type parameter that should be set to one of signup, high-yield, special-situation or perpetual. The signup questionnaire must be answered before the user can invest in the platform. The other questionnaires are for access to specific WiseAlpha markets and are explained elsewhere.

    Additionally the user's status for the questionnaire will be returned.

    Returned is a Questionnaire Object

    This method is used to upload the user's answers to one of our questionnaires, and check whether the answers are correct. It is not sufficient for the user to answer the questionnaire, they must also answer it correctly. In all cases, the endpoint returns a 200 response, and you should check the response data to see if the questionnaire was answered correctly.

    A Quesitonnaire Object is returned which will include the Questionnaire User Status object indicating pass or fail.

    Document upload

    import requests

        headers['Content-Type'] = mimetypes.guess_type(photo_id)[0]

    # Upload photo ID in file $PHOTO_ID
    curl -s -X POST "$API_ROOT_URL/customers/$CUSTOMER_ID/upload_photo_id/" \
         -H "Authorization: Token $API_KEY" \

         -H "Authorization: Token $API_KEY" \
         -F "document=@$PROOF_OF_ADDRESS" | jq .
    

    A successful upload returns the following JSON:

    {
      "status": "ok"
    }
    

    When the AML check fails the user will be asked to upload ID documents to confirm their identity. They will not have full access to their account and the WiseAlpha investments until this formality is completed.

    We require 2 proofs of identity:

    Once submitted, these documents are manually verified by the WiseAlpha team, and, if acceptable, the account will be fully enabled. We will issue a webhook event to inform you when the check is complete. If a document is deemed unacceptable, the event will contain a reason for the rejection, the document status will be set to rejected and the reason for the rejection will be added to the document_info section of the validation object. In this case, you should provide a mechanism for the user to upload a replacement for the deficient document.

    From time to time, we may require that the user upload additional documents, e.g., to prove the user owns the destination bank account when making withdrawals. In these circumstances, the ID of the required document will be added to the documents section of the validation object. You can use this endpoint to upload the requested document.

    Available Methods:

    You can upload the document either by posting it directly to the HTTP endpoint with an appropriate Content-Type and Content-Disposition, or by embedding it in a multipart/form-data body type, containing a single part with name document and appropriate Content-Type and Content-Disposition section headers.

    POST requests

    There is one endpoint for each document type we require:

    where <document_type> is one of the known document types: photo_id, proof_of_address, etc.

    Uploaded documents must be in one of the following formats: JPEG, GIF, PNG, PDF or bitmap (BMP).

    User's cannot invest in the WiseAlpha platform until they have completed initial validation. The user must:

    Some of this process involves manual review by the WiseAlpha team, or are otherwise done offline. In order to be notified when these offline processes are completed, make sure to register a webhook to be notified when the account status changes.

    The Validation Object

        "status":"onboarding",
        "can_invest":false,

          "special-situation": "not-attempted"
        }
    }
    

    Whenever you fetch a user's profile object, we return an accompanying validation object.

    Details of the validation object can be found in the validation section. Here, we describe the most important fields in this object, and explain how they can be used to shepherd a user through the Onboarding and AML processes.

    The validation status

    This field indicates the user's progress through the process. It can have one of the following values:

    Name Description
    onboarding We are still waiting for the user to provide personal information
    invest The user has completed the AML process and can invest and withdraw. The ability to invest in specific products may still be limited by specific market access.

    The validation can_xxx fields

    These indicate what actions the user is currently capable of doing.

    If can_invest is true, the user can deposit money in WiseAlpha and purchase fractional bonds.

    If can_invest_high_yield is true, the user can purchase higher-risk fractional bonds on the high-yield marketplace. To enable this, the user must complete the high yield questionnaire.

    If can_invest_perpetuals is true, the user can purchase perpetuals on the perpetual marketplace. To enable this, the user must complete the perpetuals questionnaire and be cleared by a member of the WiseAlpha compliance team.

    If can_invest_special_situations is true, the user can purchase higher-risk fractional bonds on the special situations marketplace. To enable this, the user must complete the special situations questionnaire and be cleared by a member of the WiseAlpha compliance team.

    If can_withdraw is true, the user can withdraw money from his WiseAlpha account. This is sometimes set false even though can_invest is true. There can be a compliance block on the user's account preventing withdrawals.

    The next_actions field

    This field contains a list of next steps you should take to progress the user through the onboarding process. It will contain one or more of the following values:

    Name Description
    provide-missing-fields We are waiting for basic profile information for this user. We list the fields we are still waiting for in the fields_needed field described below.
    select-investor-type The user hasn't selected an investor type.
    confirm-investor-type The user has previously selected an investor type, but needs to confirm that they still belong to that category.
    answer-signup-questionnaire The user hasn't answered the signup questionnaire.
    upload-id-documents The user needs to upload ID documents before we can progress.
    answer-high-yield-questionnaire The user hasn't answered the high-yield questionnaire. (Note that this isn't a blocking issue - the user may be able to invest in other investments.)
    upload-supporting-document The user needs to upload additional documents (e.g., a bank statement)

    The fields_needed field

    This field contains a list of user attributes that still need to be provided. Each entry in this list should correspond to one of the top-level fields in the user's profile object.

    The aml_check field

    {
       "status":"No Check Performed",
       "passed":false
    }
    

    This field provides the status and result from the automated AML check. The status field contains one of the following values:

    Value Description
    No Check Performed We haven't yet done an automated check.
    AML Check Pending An automated AML check is pending. We'll issue a webhook event when the result is available.
    Auto Check Failed We've done the automated check, and it failed. The user will have to upload ID documents to complete the AML process.
    Auto Check Passed We've done the automated check, and it passed. The AML process is completed and the user is free to invest.
    AML Documents Provided The user has uploaded ID documents and is waiting for WiseAlpha staff to verify them.
    AML Documents Verified The user has uploaded ID documents and they've been verified by WiseAlpha. The AML process is complete and the user is free to invest.

    The passed field indicates whether the user has successfully completed the AML process.

    The documents field

    {
       "proof_of_address":"not-yet-needed",
       "photo_id":"not-yet-needed"
    }
    

    This field is a dictionary whose keys list the documents we require. The documents required for the AML process, namely photo_id and proof_of_address, are always included in this list. From time to time, additional document types may be added, e.g., we may request a bank statement if we cannot automatically associate the user's bank account details with the user's identity.

    For each document, the value in the dictionary indicates whether the document is needed, and if so, whether it has been provided, and accepted. If a document does not appear in the documents list, then it is not yet needed.

    You can upload AML documents at any time, even if they are not currently required. Other documents can only be uploaded when they are required.

    Document state Description
    not-yet-needed We don't need these documents yet.
    required The AML process is blocked until this document is uploaded.
    provided The user has provided API documents, though they may still be awaiting review by WiseAlpha.
    accepted The user's documents have been accepted.
    rejected The user's documents have been rejected, and the rejection reason has been added to the document_info.

    The document_info field

    {
       "proof_of_address": { rejection_reason: "Provided document was too old." }
    }
    

    This field provides some extra information to help the user upload the correct documents, e.g., - The reason the document was requested - What specific documents are required - The reason an uploaded document was rejected

    The field is a dictionary whose keys list the documents where additional information is available. For each key in the list, the value contains a dictionary with one or more of the following subfields:

    subfield Description
    request_reason Any additional information on why this document was requested. For bank statements this will include details of the bank account being verified.
    rejection_reason If the document status is 'rejected', the reason for the rejection will be included here.

    The questionnaire field

    {
      "high-yield": "not-attempted",
      "perpetual": "not-attempted",
      "signup": "not-attempted",
      "smart-interest": "not-attempted",
      "special-situation": "not-attempted"
    }
    

    This field lists the questionnaires that are available on the platform. In order to gain access to a given market, the user must pass the relevant questionnaire. There may be other requirements to access a market so please use the can_xxx fields as the authoritative flags for access to markets.

    Questionnaire state Description
    not-attempted The questionnaire has never been submitted by the user.[^reset-questionnaire-attempts]
    passed The user has attempted the questionnaire and passed it.
    failed The user has attempted the questionnaire and failed it too many times.
    attempted-N-times The user has attempted the questionnaire but failed it N times. They haven't yet exceeded the maximum number of failures.

    [^reset-questionnaire-attempts]: Under some circumstances we may reset the user's attempts.

    In these cases, the questionnaire state will show not-attempted as though they never attempted the questionnaire.

    Attached is a script that creates a user and provides enough information to initiate the automated AML check process.

    Most of the script is devoted to setting the user's personal details - name, email address, telephone number etc. This should be self-explanatory.

    Selecting an investor type

    Before a customer can invest, it is a regulatory requirement for them to select an investor type and by doing so agree to the investor type agreement. At the same time, the user must give an indication of their net investible assets.

    You can fetch a list of investor types and investible assets bands via the /customers/investor_types/ endpoint.

    Investor types should be presented and agreed to by the customer. Here is a example of how this might look:

    Presenting Investor Types

    Each panel on this page comes from one investor type object. The title field of the object is used to select the investor type, in this case using a 'tabs' interface. Within each panel, the intro_title and intro_content fields contain the title and HTML-encoded text used in the top part of the panel to present a friendly description of the investor type. Similarly, the main_title and main_content contain the actual agreement to be presented in the bottom part of the panel. The investor type content contains dates etc., so should be fetched every time the text is displayed to the user.

    Once the user has selected an investor type and provided any required additional information, and clicked an 'I agree' button, you should submit this information via the change_investor_type endpoint, passing the ID of the investor type and any additional information required.

    After the user has selected an investor type, the value becomes fixed. Subsequent attempts to change the value results in an investor-type change request that is manually processed by WiseAlpha staff. WiseAlpha reserve the right to contact investors to check that their investor type is correct and that their investment strategy is appropriate with consideration of their experience and available assets.

    Answering the questionnaires

    Before the user can invest, they must answer a signup questionnaire to show that they understand the nature of the investments on WiseAlpha, and the risks involved.

    If the investor wants to invest in high yield bonds, then they must answer a second high-yield questionnaire.

    If the investor wants to invest in the perpetual or special situations markets they must answer the special-situation or perpetual respectively. In addition to answering the questionnaire a member of our compliance team will review the market access request and access will only be granted if the application passes compliance.

    You fetch the questionnaire data to display via the questionnaires endpoint. This returns a list of questions and, for each question, a set of possible answers. Each question and answer has a unique ID that is used when submitting the questionnaire responses.

    To display the questionnaire to the user, you can present it as illustrated in the attached screenshot.

    Presenting A Questionnaire

    The questionnaire is fairly short and self-explanatory. The user is free to retry the questionnaire until he answers all questions correctly, however multiple failed attempts will raise a flag and may be investigated by the WiseAlpha team.

    To submit a questionnaire response, use the submit questionnaire endpoint, passing the IDs of each question asked and ID of each answer selected as described. We return a list of questions the user answered correctly. The questionnaire is completed when all questions are correct, if a user fails their questionnaire three times. Speak to the WiseAlpha team if you want to include links to the FAQs in your page.

    Once the user has completed the onboarding process, this information is checked by an external reference agency. This check will have one of two outcomes:

    Once ID documents are uploaded, the AML check status becomes "AML Documents Provided", and the documents are queued for manual verification. If this succeeds the AML check status is set to "AML Documents Verified", the user's status is set to invest, and the user is free to invest without further restrictions.

    Accounts and Portfolio

    These endpoints return details of the user's balances, owned investments, and historical transactions on the user's account. This information can be used to generate statements, tax and other reports for the user.

    A customer has one of more InvestmentAccounts, all balances and investments belong to one of the customers InvestmentAccounts.

    'id' vs 'original_id'

    When an order is partially filled - which may happen if there is only a limited amount of the product on the market, or if the next matched counterparty only has/wants a small amount of the product - we create a new order for the remainder.

    Similarly, when an order is confirmed, we create a new order at the new price, and archive the original.

    The id field is the ID of the current open order for that user and product. This ID is useful if you need to discuss the order with the WiseAlpha team.

    The original_id is the ID of the order when the buy or sell request was first issued. If you want to correlate orders with the original request, for example, to keep the customer informed of its progress, then you should use the original_id to do so.

    Optional Query Parameters

    Name Description Data Type
    currencies Filter to return only products in certain currencies. E.g. ?currencies=GBP,EUR String

    Order Actions

    URL: /customers/{}/investment-accounts/{}/buy-orders/{}/action/ URL: /customers/{}/investment-accounts/{}/sell-orders/{}/action/

                       headers=headers,
                       data={"action": "confirm"})
    
    curl -s "$API_ROOT_URL/customers/$CUSTOMER_ID/sell-orders/investment-accounts/$INVESTMENT_ACCOUNT_ID/sell-orders/MKTSELL00000001/action/" \
         -H "Authorization: Token $API_KEY" \
         -d '{"action": "confirm"}'| jq .
    

    To cancel an order

    api = requests.post('$API_ROOT_URL/customers/$CUSTOMER_ID/investment-accounts/$INVESTMENT_ACCOUNT_ID/sell-orders/MKTSELL00000001/action/',
                       headers=headers,

    curl -s "$API_ROOT_URL/customers/$CUSTOMER_ID/investment-accounts/$INVESTMENT_ACCOUNT_ID/sell-orders/MKTSELL00000001/action/" \
         -H "Authorization: Token $API_KEY" \
         -d '{"action": "cancel"}'| jq .
    

    In both cases, action returns HTTP return code 200 on success.

    The user can use this entrypoint to manage his open orders.

    If the price of an investment changes substantially before the order is completed, then the WiseAlpha platform raises an -order.price-change event and puts the order into the confirm state. In this state, the order will not be filled until the customer has confirmed that they want to continue.

    If the customer decides to continue, they should issue a confirm action as shown. This will create a new order based on the old order, but using the new price.

    Alternatively, if the customer does not want to continue, (or if the user has changed his mind about orders in the open state), they should issue a cancel action as shown. This will remove the order from the market.

    Withdraw cash from a Robowise Portfolio

    There are two ways to withdraw cash from a robowise portfolio. You can directly set the current withdrawal behaviour to withdraw some or all of the value, or you can issue robowise withdrawal requests. These will executed in sequence and will set the withdrawal behaviour as needed.

    Managing the withdrawal behaviour manually

    URL: POST /customers/{}/investment-accounts/{}/robowise/{}/withdraw/

    data = {
        "type": "some",
        "amount": "1000.00",
    }
    api = requests.post('$API_ROOT_URL/customers/$CUSTOMER_ID/investment-accounts/$INVESTMENT_ACCOUNT_ID/robowise/$ROBOWISE_ACCOUNT_ID/withdraw/',
                        data=data, headers=headers)
    
    curl -s -X POST "$API_ROOT_URL/customers/$CUSTOMER_ID/investment-accounts/$INVESTMENT_ACCOUNT_ID/robowise/$ROBOWISE_ACCOUNT_ID/withdraw/"
         -H "Authorization: Token $API_KEY"
         -H "Content-Type: application/json"
         -d '{"amount": 1000.00, "type": "some"}' | jq .
    

    For each robowise portfolio a target cash amount to withdraw can be set, or the portfolio can be marked to be cashed out completely. When a target amount is set, robowise will sell off enough of it's managed portfolio in order to reach the target. Funds will be move from the robowise account to the parent account as they become available.

    The endpoint accepts a Robowise Withdrawal Behaviour object.

    The current withdrawal behaviour can be checked via checking the Robowise account object and inspecting the withdrawal_behaviour field. There can be only one withdrawal behaviour set at a time, if a second call is made it will supercede the current behaviour. If a target is set to withdraw 1000, funds will be moved as they become available and the amount returned in the withdrawal_behaviour field will update to reflect this.

    Issuing a Robowise Withdrawal Request

    A request to withdraw cash from a robowise portfolio can be issued, this is similar to managing the withdrawal behaviour manually, but with a few important differences. You can issue several requests which will be executed in the order in which they are received. Only one request will be active at a given time and will remain active until the cash target for the withdrawal is achieved. An event will be generated when a given withdrawal request completes.

    As an extra convenience you can instruct a withdrawal request to create a regular withdrawal request once it has completed. A robowise withdrawal request will move money from the robowise account to the holding account, and a regular withdrawal request will then move money from the holding account to the customer's registered bank account.

    URL: POST /customers/{}/investment-accounts/{}/robowise/{}/withdrawals/

    data = {
        "amount": "100.00",
    }
    api = requests.post('$API_ROOT_URL/customers/$CUSTOMER_ID/investment-accounts/$INVESTMENT_ACCOUNT_ID/robowise/$ROBOWISE_ACCOUNT_ID/withdrawals/',
                        data=data, headers=headers)
    
    Field Description Type
    amount The amount to transfer from the parent account to the robowise account. Decimal
    on_complete Optional field, it provides a mechanism for chaining a cash withdrawal from the top level account to the users registered bank account. Object - see below

    The below is the only currently supported on_complete action

    Field Description Type
    action Currently only withdraw_funds. String-Enum
    customer_reference Only valid when the action is withdraw_funds. String

    Listing Robowise Withdrawal Requests

    URL: GET /customers/{}/investment-accounts/{}/robowise/{}/withdrawals/

    api = requests.get('$API_ROOT_URL/customers/$CUSTOMER_ID/investment-accounts/$INVESTMENT_ACCOUNT_ID/robowise/$ROBOWISE_ACCOUNT_ID/withdrawals/',
                       headers=headers)
    

    A paged list of Robowise Withdrawal Request objects will be returned.

    Updating a Robowise Withdrawal Request

    URL: PATCH /customers/{}/investment-accounts/{}/robowise/{}/withdrawals/{}/

    Once a withdrawal request has been issued it can be cancelled if it's not already completed. Only the state field can be updated and only to the cancelled state.

    Transferring a Fractional Bond into a Robowise Portfolio

    Fractional bond investments can be transferred from the parent account into robowise child accounts. This allows a customer to diversify their current holdings without incurring sales fees.

    See Account Product Transfer for details on how to issue the transfer.

    Close a Robowise Portfolio

    URL: POST /customers/{}/investment-accounts/{}/robowise/{}/close/

    data = {
        "type": "transfer_to_parent",
    }
    api = requests.post('$API_ROOT_URL/customers/$CUSTOMER_ID/investment-accounts/$INVESTMENT_ACCOUNT_ID/robowise/$ROBOWISE_ACCOUNT_ID/close/',
                        data=data, headers=headers)
    
    curl -s -X POST "$API_ROOT_URL/customers/$CUSTOMER_ID/investment-accounts/$INVESTMENT_ACCOUNT_ID/robowise/$ROBOWISE_ACCOUNT_ID/close/"
         -H "Authorization: Token $API_KEY"
         -H "Content-Type: application/json"
         -d '{"type": "transfer_to_parent"}' | jq .
    

    In order to close a robowise portfolio you need to issue a closure request and specify what how you want WiseAlpha to handle any remaining holdings in the account.

    The endpoint accepts a Robowise Closure Request object. On acceptance of the request the account will be put into the closing state and the process to close the account started. The robowise.closed event will be generated when the closure is complete.

    Reports by default are generated asynchronously and are available to download for a period of 24 hours after generation. A webhook event will be fired when the report is available for download and the report-runs endpoint can be polled to check for report completion.

    Some reports can be asked to be generated synchronously, in this case the report content will be returned as part of the call and not stored for download later.

    List Report Runs: URL: GET /reporting/report-runs/
    Get a Report Run: URL: GET /reporting/report-runs/{}/
    Create a Report Run: URL: POST /reporting/report-runs/

    Report generation is scheduled by creating a report run object. Some report_type and report_format combinations support synchronous generation of the report content where the report will be returned as part of the call to create. Asynchronous reports will be generated after the report run is created and an event will be fired when the report is finished, or the report status can be polled waiting for the report_status to turn to completed. Once a report is in the completed state it will be available to download for 24 hours.

    See the Report Type documentation for details on the report arguments required to generate each report type.

    Use the market endpoint to create buy and sell orders on the WiseAlpha secondary market. A successful market request will return the new account balance after the orders have been placed along with details of the orders created. Details of unfulfilled orders can also be retrieved via the buy_orders and sell_orders entrypoints. On success, all of the buys and sells have been placed on the market, though they will not have been fulfilled. In particular, sell orders (and buy orders with no liquidity) will likely remain unfulfilled until another customer creates a matching order. For this reason, we recommend that you only allow the customer to generate buy orders when the bond sell_liquidity is non-zero. Sell orders may take a few days to complete.

    The customer will be notified of success or failure of the order via buy-order and sell-order events as documented in the events section.

    If the market request fails, none of the buys and sells will have been placed on the market, The request cannot partially succeed.

    Available Methods:

    POST request:

    The market request takes the following arguments.

    Name Description Data Type
    customer_id User account making the trade, if not present the account is assumed to be the account associated with the API key in use. Customer ID

    Use the /market/quote/ endpoint to get a preview of what will happen during a market buy or sale.

    When buying an investment, this endpoint returns the amount of principal and interest that will be purchased, and the total amount that the user will need to invest to fulfill the order. These amounts are related via the following formula:

    total = principal * price + interest

    For "type": "gross" orders, the amount corresponds to the total amount the customer wants to spend on the investment. In this case, amount == total and the amount of principal the customer will receive is given by principal.

    For "type": "principal" orders, the amount corresponds to the amount of principal the customer wants to purchase. In this case, amount == principal and the total gives the amount the user will have to pay for the investment.

    When selling an investment, the amount always specifies the amount of principal the customer intends to sell. In this case, the endpoint returns the amount of accrued interest they will receive, and the fees taken during the sale. The total field gives total cash that will be returned to the user.

    As when you're buying from the marketplace you're also buying accrued interest. and the market price can fluctuate these calculations can vary.

    The results of a successful call to /market/quote/ may be posted to /market/ directly, although a successful call to /market/quote/ is no guarantee of the trade going through successfully as the /market/ endpoint runs additional validation that the /market/quote/ endpoint does not.

    Available Methods:

    Request body arguments for POST

    As per /market/

    Name Description Data Type
    buys Quotes for the buy requests passed in. Array of Buy quotes
    sells Quotes for the sell requests passed in. Array of Sell quotes

    Request for Quotes

    URL: GET /customers/{}/investment-accounts/{}/rfqs/

    To return a list of all RFQs generated for a given investment account:

    api = requests.get('$API_ROOT_URL/customers/$CUSTOMER_ID/investment-accounts/$INVESTMENT_ACCOUNT_ID/rfqs/', headers=headers)
    
    curl -s "$API_ROOT_URL/customers/$CUSTOMER_ID/investment-accounts/$INVESTMENT_ACCOUNT_ID/rfqs/" \
         -H "Authorization: Token $API_KEY" | jq .
    

    This method returns a list of all the RFQs generated for a given investment account.

    Create a RFQ

    URL: POST /customers/{}/investment-accounts/{}/rfqs/

    To create an RFQ, the below fields must be provided.

    Field Description Type
    notional_amount The currency to sell. Decimal
    notional_currency The currency to buy. Currency
    quote_type Either buy to indicate the RFQ is to buy a product or sell to indicate the RFQ is to sell a product. String-Enum
    product The Product Reference to quote for. Reference
    market The market to trade on, if this is left blank the investment account's default market will be used. Reference
    allow_partial_fulfilment Set to true to allow the request to be partially filled, false if the whole quote is to be filled in a single trade. Boolean

    The RFQ will be returned. Depending on the market some quotes may be returned instantly.

    Events and Webhooks

    As part of your API integration you can configure webhooks to receive callbacks when certain events happen in WiseAlpha. The endpoint receiving these webhooks must return a success response to the WiseAlpha server. WiseAlpha will attempt to deliver an event to a webhook URL 5 times, with an increasing delay between attempts until a success response is returned. After 5 delivery attempts the event will no longer be delivered.

    Alternatively, you can always fetch the event via the /events/ endpoint below.

    Events

    Every event contains the following fields:

    Field Description Type
    id The unique event identifier Reference ID
    created The timestamp for when the event was created DateTime
    event_type The type of the event String - one of the Event Type values listed below
    customer_id The customer the event applies to Customer ID
    data Additional information specific to the event A dictionary containing additional information specific to the event

    The WiseAlpha platform produces the following events.

    Event Type Description
    account.aml-check-passed The AML check is complete and passed. The user can now invest.
    account.aml-check-failed The AML check is complete and failed. The user will need to upload ID documents before they can invest.
    account.identity-documents-verified The WiseAlpha team have verified and approved the user's identity documents.
    account.document-rejected The WiseAlpha team have rejected a document that you uploaded. You will need to upload the document in question again.
    account.additional-document-required We require that you upload an additional document to further verify your account. (E.g., a bank statement to verify account ownership.)
    account.bank-details-rejected The user's bank details are invalid. The user will need to upload new bank details before transfer can be processed.
    account.bank-transfer-credited The user's bank transfer has been completed and the amount credited to his WiseAlpha account.
    account.investor-type-approved The user's investor type has been approved.
    buy-order.price-change The prices of the assets in the user's buy order has changed before it could be completed. The buy order will need to be reconfirmed.
    buy-order.filled The buy order has been filled.
    buy-order.cancelled The buy order has been cancelled. This usually occurs because none of the requisite asset is available to fill the order.
    sell-order.price-change The prices of the assets in the user's sell order has changed before it could be completed. The sell order will need to be reconfirmed.
    sell-order.filled The sell order has been filled.
    sell-order.cancelled The sell order has been cancelled. This is a very rare eventuality - usually, sell orders remain until the asset is sold.
    investment.payment An investment has made a payment.
    investment.repayment An investment has been repaid.
    investment.partial_repayment An investment has been partially repaid.
    robowise.closed A robowise account has been closed.
    robowise.withdrawal-complete A withdrawal of funds from a robowise sub-account to it's parent account has completed.

    The account events

    These events are generated when the WiseAlpha platform changes the state of a user's account, e.g. when the WiseAlpha platform completes an AML check.

    The event contains the following additional information in the data field:

    Field Description Type
    user_profile User's profile object after the update Profile object

    Details of the next steps required - if any - are contained in the validation object in the user data.

    The aml-check-passed and aml-check-failed events

    These events are generated when the WiseAlpha platform completes the AML check for a user.

    If the AML check returns "pass" we generate the aml-check-passed event. The user can start investing up to the AML investment threshold - currently £5,000 - without restriction.

    If the AML check returns "fail" we generate the aml-check-failed event. In this case, the user will not be able to transfer funds or invest until they have uploaded identity documents.

    The identity-documents-verified event

    This event is generated when the WiseAlpha team has reviewed and verified the ID documents provided by the user and the AML process is now complete. The user is in the invest state and can invest and withdraw funds as he sees fit.

    The document-rejected event

    This event is generated when the WiseAlpha team has reviewed a document, but found it to be not acceptable. The event contains the following additional fields.

    Field Description Type
    document.type The ID of the document that was rejected. See Onboarding for details of valid document types. String
    document.type_display A human-readable string describing the document type. String
    document.original_file_name The name provided when the document was uploaded. String
    document.rejection_reason The reason the wisealpha team rejected this document. String

    The user's verification object will also be updated to indicate which documents need updating.

    The additional-document-required event

    From time to time, we may require additional documentation. E.g., we may require that you upload a bank statement if we are unable to automatically verify that the user owns/controls the linked bank account.

    Field Description Type
    document.type The ID of the document that was rejected. See Onboarding for details of valid document types. String
    document.type_display A human-readable string describing the document type. String

    The user's verification object will also be updated to indicate that an additional document is now required.

    The bank-details-rejected event

    Before we can transfer money to an external bank account, we check the user's configured bank-details. If the bank details are deemed to be invalid, e.g., if the sort code does not identify a real bank, then we issue an account.bank-details-rejected event. In this case the user should upload new bank details.

    Field Description Type
    rejection_reason The reason the Wisealpha team rejected the bank details. String

    Note that if the bank details are valid, but can't be confirmed as belonging to the user, then we will send an appropriate account.additional-document-required event instead.

    The bank-transfer-credited event

    This event is generated when the fund transfer process is complete, i.e. when funds have arrived in our system and been credited to your account. In addition to the user_profile object, the event contains the following additional items:

    Field Description Type
    wisealpha_reference WiseAlpha's reference for this transfer. String
    amount_allocated The amount allocated to your account for this transfer Decimal
    currency The currency of the amount allocated in this transfer Currency

    The wisealpha_reference matches the reference returned by the initial fund request. You can use this to correlate this event with the fund request that initiated the process.

    The amount_allocated gives the amount credited to your account.

    The buy-order and sell-order events

    Buys and sells of marketplace investments are completed offline. The WiseAlpha platform sends events to notify the user when the order for each investment completes.

    All buy-order and sell-order events include the following fields:

    Field Description Type
    order_id The order ID Reference ID
    original_id The ID of the order originally submitted Reference ID
    investment Details of the investment being bought or sold Investment Object
    currency The currency of this order Currency
    trade_type (Buys only) The type of this trade: gross, principal or auto_reinvest_trade String

    WiseAlpha fulfils orders by matching buys with sells in the marketplace. This means that any given order can be filled over a number of transactions.

    The investment object contains the following fields:

    Field Description Type
    product_id Product id Reference ID
    company_name The name of the company String

    The -order.filled events

    We raise this event when the order has been completely filled, or partially filled then the remainder cancelled.

    Field Description Type
    amount_requested The amount originally requested Decimal
    amount_filled The amount we were able to fulfil Decimal

    For buy orders, even principal orders, the above amounts are the total amount requested/spent, including accrued interest. For sell orders, the above amounts refer to the amount of principal.

    For sell orders, we also include the following fields:

    Field Description Type
    cash_received The amount of cash returned to the user, including accrued interest and fees taken. Decimal

    The -order.cancelled events

    We raise this event when the order is cancelled. The event contains the following additional fields:

    Field Description Type
    reason The reason the order was cancelled String
    amount_remaining The amount remaining unfulfilled in this order Decimal
    currency The currency of the order Currency

    If the order has been partially filled before being cancelled, you'll also get an -order.filled event telling you this.

    The -order.price_change events

    We raise this event when the asset underlying the order changes in price. It indicates that the order has been suspended. The user will need to confirm that they want to continue with this order via the /orders/confirm entrypoint. Alternatively, they can cancel the order. For buy orders, this returns the order funds to the user's wallet.

    Field Description Type
    old_price The old price of the asset Decimal
    new_price The new price of the asset Decimal
    amount_remaining The amount remaining unfulfilled in this order Decimal
    currency The currency of the order Currency

    The investment events

    These events are generated when an investment makes a payment.

    All the events include the following fields:

    Field Description Type
    investment Details of the investment being paid out. Investment object
    currency The currency of the payout Currency
    interest_payment The interest paid out Decimal
    reinvesting_proceeds Whether we are going to reinvest the proceeds Boolean

    For marketplace investments, the investment field contains details of the bond, e.g., the wise ticker and company name.

    The reinvesting_proceeds flag is set to true if you have selected to reinvest the proceeds of this investment, and if there is some of this investment available on the marketplace. In this case the proceeds of the investment are used to purchase more of the investment. Otherwise, the proceeds are added to the user's uninvested funds. They'll need to either withdraw the funds or manually reinvest them as they see fit.

    (For repayment and partial_repayment events, reinvesting_proceeds is currently always False. At some future time, WiseAlpha plan to offer an automated reinvestment tool. When the user selects to use such a tool, this flag will be true and the proceeds will automatically be used to purchase other investments.)

    We issue the investment.payment event when an investment makes an interest payment. The proceeds are your share of the interest accrued on this investment since it last made a payment, or since it was issued if this is the first payment.

    We issue the investment.repayment event when an investment repays, either because it has matured or because the company issuing the bond has decided to repay early. The proceeds include both the interest accrued since the last payment and repayment of the capital. Repayment events contain the following additional fields:

    Field Description Type
    call_price The price at which the bond issuer is buying back the principal Decimal
    principal_payment The principal paid out Decimal

    The call_price is the price at which the principal is being repaid. A call price of 100 means the principal is being bought back at parity. In some cases, particularly if the bond is being paid back early, the call price may be greater than 100, in which case the user is making a capital gain on the investment. The principal_payment field gives the amount of capital being paid back to the user. It's value equals the principal invested multiplied by the call price.

    The investment.partial_repayment event is raised when the investment in question partially pays back early.

    The robowise.closed and robowise.withdrawal-complete events

    Field Description Type
    account-reference The account reference of the robowise account the event pertains to. String

    Delivering events via the Webhook API

    Use webhooks to be notified about events that happen to a WiseAlpha account.

    To configure your webhook settings, you'll need to contact Contact Support and provide them with an endpoint or endpoints that webhook events should be sent to. We'll then provide you with a private key that should be used to validate that a given webhook delivery was made by WiseAlpha.

    For more information on this have a look at "Validate the Signature" section.

    /events/: Fetching events directly

    api = requests.get('$API_ROOT_URL/events/',
                       headers=headers)

    Validate the signature of an event

    When you register your endpoint you will be provided a private key, $WEBHOOK_KEY, that you can use to validate that a given webhook delivery was made by WiseAlpha. The signature will be present in the x-wisealpha-signature header.

    To calculate the expected signature, generated an HMAC SHA-256 digest on the request body using your private key and check it against the expected header.

    
    import json
    import binascii
    import hashlib
    import hmac
    import base64
    
    from sanic import Sanic
    from sanic.response import json
    
    app = Sanic()
    
    
    @app.route("/")
    async def home(request):
        return json({"hello": "world"})
    
    
    @app.route("/webhooks", methods=['POST', 'GET'])
    async def webhooks(request):
        try:
            signature = request.headers.get('x-wisealpha-signature', '')
            key_bytes = base64.b64decode('$WEBHOOK_KEY')
            calculated = base64.b64encode(hmac.new(key_bytes, request.body, digestmod=hashlib.sha256).digest()).decode(encoding='ascii')
            if signature == calculated:
                # Process request
                pass
        except Exception as ex:
            # Log exception, but swallow it and return 200 so the endpoint does not get disabled
            pass
        return json({"valid": signature == calculated})
