Maximus's Developers
Two APIs, kept apart.
One returns your own trading data and can never place an order. The other renders data into video for creators. They share authentication conventions and absolutely no data.
Neither API is generally available. The desk API is issued to QuantDesk clients once their desk is live. The creator API is in development and has no public endpoint yet. Everything on this page is the shape of the thing, published early so it can be argued with.
Desk API
Read-only by construction.
Every QuantDesk client gets an API key alongside their dashboard. Pull your own positions, statements and profit and loss into a spreadsheet, a script, or whatever you already use to keep records.
The key cannot place an order, move funds or change a risk setting. This is not a permission that has been switched off. There is no write endpoint in the service at all, so there is nothing to switch on by mistake.
Bearer authentication over HTTPS only. Rate limited per key. Keys are revocable from Settings and rotate without downtime.

Response shape
Every response carries a request_id, and every list is paginated by
cursor rather than page number, so a result set that changes underneath you does not
silently skip a row.

Errors and limits
| Status | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 401 | Key missing, malformed or revoked | Reissue from Settings |

| 404 | No such resource for this key | Check the identifier |
| 429 | Rate limit exceeded | Honour Retry-After |
| 503 | Broker upstream unavailable | Retry with backoff |
Default limit 60 requests per minute per key, burst 120. The event stream does not count against it.
Creator Toolkit
Data in, short video out.
A subscription API for creators who explain markets, travel or anything else that arrives as numbers. Post a dataset and a template; receive a rendered clip with charts, captions and a voice track already timed to them.
The point is the boring part. Assembling the same explainer every week by hand is what stops most channels from publishing consistently, and consistency is most of what growth on those platforms actually is.
Unrelated to the trading desk. It shares no data, no infrastructure and no account with QuantDesk. It appears on this site because it is being built by the same hands, not because it is part of what a trading client buys.
What it does
- Data to video: charts, figures and captions rendered to a clip
- Templates matched to a channel's existing look
- Scheduled generation from a live data feed
- Voice track, or your own audio dropped in
- Vertical and landscape masters from one render
- Webhook on completion, so it drops into an existing pipeline
