A prop firm platform with API access on every account, on every plan
Most platforms lock the API behind the top tier. Here it is on every account from the first plan - REST and WebSocket - so you can automate provisioning, dashboards and payouts from day one.

Frequently asked questions
- Does PropExecutor give API access on every account?
- Yes. API access is included on every account, on every plan, starting with the $129 entry plan - there is no tier gate. You get both REST and WebSocket access from the first purchase, not only after upgrading.
- Why do most prop firm platforms gate the API?
- Because it is an easy thing to charge more for. Access to your own data becomes an upsell, so smaller firms are locked out of automation until they pay for the top tier. Gating the API is a pricing decision, not a technical limit.
- What can I do with a prop firm REST API?
- Provision and manage accounts, read equity, drawdown and rule status, pull trade history, and drive payouts and reporting - all programmatically. Anything you can do in the admin panel, you can script.
- What is the WebSocket API for?
- Real-time streams. Instead of polling, you subscribe to live account and rule-engine events - a breach, a pass, an equity change - and react the instant they happen, which is how you build live dashboards and instant notifications.
- Can I automate account provisioning through the API?
- Yes. You can create accounts in bulk, rotate credentials, and assign rule sets programmatically, so onboarding a cohort of traders is a single call rather than a manual afternoon.
- Do I need developers to benefit from the API?
- Not to start - the platform works fully without writing a line of code. The API is there for when you want to automate: connect your own checkout, feed a Discord community bot, or build custom analytics. It scales with your ambition rather than gating your start.
- Is the data mine to export?
- Yes. Your accounts, trades and rule events are yours, and the API is how you get them out - into your own reporting, CRM or data warehouse - without waiting on a vendor to build an export.
- Does API access cost extra per account?
- No. It is a platform feature, not a metered add-on. Each account uses one permanent credit whatever its balance, and API access applies across all of them at no additional cost.
- Can I connect the platform to my own tools?
- That is the point of an open API. Wire it to your payment provider, your support desk, your analytics stack, or a bot - the executor becomes a component in your stack rather than a walled garden.
- Is the API available on the cheapest plan?
- Yes. The $129 Starter plan includes API access on every one of its 50 accounts. Higher plans add accounts, rules and branding depth - not API access, because you already have it.
On most prop firm platforms, the API is a locked door with a price on it. You can run your firm, but you cannot get at your own accounts, trades and rule events programmatically until you have paid for the top tier. That is backwards. Here, API access is on every account, on every plan, from the first $129 - REST and WebSocket, no tier gate.
Why the API is usually gated
Because access to your own data is easy to sell back to you. Vendors put the API behind the most expensive plan because automation is exactly what a growing firm needs, so gating it turns your growth into their upsell. There is no technical reason a small firm should be locked out of scripting its own accounts - it is a pricing decision, nothing more.
Your data, and the ability to automate it, should not be a premium upsell. See how PropExecutor is priced
What "API on every account" actually gives you
Two interfaces, from day one:
- REST, for everything you do in the admin panel - create accounts, assign rule sets, read equity, drawdown and rule status, pull trade history, drive payouts and reporting.
- WebSocket, for real-time streams - subscribe to live account and rule-engine events (a breach, a pass, an equity move) and react the instant they happen instead of polling.
Together they mean your firm is programmable. Onboarding a cohort of traders becomes one bulk call. A live community dashboard becomes a WebSocket subscription. A payout run becomes a script.
What firms build on it
- Custom dashboards and leaderboards fed by live account data.
- Community bots - a Discord or Telegram bot that posts passes and funded milestones the moment they happen.
- Automated onboarding - provision accounts and rotate credentials straight from your checkout.
- Analytics and reporting - stream events into your own data warehouse and build the views you actually want.
- Payout and CRM integration - connect the executor to the tools you already run.
None of that requires the top plan. It requires an API that was there from the start.

You do not need developers to start
The platform is fully usable without writing a line of code - branded terminal, rule engine, dashboards and provisioning all work out of the box. The API is there for when you are ready to automate, and because it ships on every plan, that day can come whenever your firm is ready, not whenever your plan is expensive enough.
The honest comparison
Next time you weigh platforms, check where the API lives. If it is a top-tier feature, you are being told your automation is worth more to the vendor than your launch. Here it is on the entry plan, on every one of its 50 accounts, with the higher plans adding accounts, rules and branding depth - never API access, because you already have it.
