Can I use the REST API to trade Stock CFDs?

[vZ88]

Just wondered if it's possible to use the REST API to trade Stock CFDs?

Already got a demo account running and I'm trying to use the API Companion to create an order, but I can't seem to make it to work.

I use /positions/otc, and when I fill all the fields I could I get this error message:

{ "errorCode": "validation.pattern.invalid.request.epic" }

Kindest regards.

There is a complex set of constraints for order creation, because of the different order types. Look at the docs here.  If you still need help, I would suggest providing details of what values you are setting for which fields; it is impossible to know what is wrong with the information you have supplied so far
