LS Securities Launches 'API Investment Strategy Center'

LS Securities has launched an integrated website where users can view and manage information on the company's Application Programming Interface (API) services all in one place.

According to LS Securities on October 1, API refers to a program interface that enables investors to automate their trading activities by connecting trading functions—such as stock price inquiries, order placement, and account information—with programs developed by the investors themselves. Through this, investors can develop their desired trading strategies as program code and implement their own customized automated trading systems.

LS Securities currently provides both the Windows-based xingAPI service and the web-based OpenAPI service. Previously, each service operated through a separate website; however, the company has now integrated and revamped the homepage so that information on both services can be viewed and managed in one place.

The newly launched API Investment Strategy Center further enhances customer accessibility and convenience. Notably, it offers an AI assistant function linked with ChatGPT, allowing customers to simply enter their desired trading strategies in text form. The AI instantly generates the corresponding program code, which customers can use for API trading. Additionally, an AI training API guide is provided to help customers use AI to more accurately build a trading environment based on LS Securities' API. Support for beginners has also been strengthened. A three-stage guide and sample code for major programming languages are provided so that even customers without extensive coding knowledge can easily get started with API trading services by following along.

To commemorate the website launch, LS Securities is also holding a special event. Customers who have a non-face-to-face account with LS Securities and register for the OpenAPI service will receive commission discount benefits when they apply for the event and trade Korean stocks.

An LS Securities representative stated, "We launched the API Investment Strategy Center to overcome the perception that API trading is difficult to access and to provide an environment where anyone can turn their investment ideas into code and apply them to investing. As we have also prepared a commission discount event, we hope this will be an opportunity for many customers to experience API trading without burden."
