Fidelity Personal API
When does Fidelity intend to enter into the modern age and provide an API for personal use? Most other major platforms offer this as a basic service, yet Fidelity chooses not to offer this after repeated asks from the community.
It would be much more convenient for customers to pull data from Fidelity into a spreadsheet, database, or other application using an API versus logging in, downloading CSVs for each affected account, and then transforming that data. It would also be nice to be able to automate trading activities versus manual trades.
From my perspective Fidelity is losing touch with the customer base and wants/needs of the investing community as a whole. There seems to be more interest in developing Trader+ which is a horrible product IMHO vs offering needed updates to Active Trader Pro which is a reasonable product. It's not TOS be any means, but I believe Fidelity needs to re-evaluate their customer base and begin offering services that almost every other major platform offers.
I do know for certain that if it doesn't show up on the roadmap pretty soon I'll be taking my money somewhere else where I can actually track and trade without having to login to a screen and manually transact or pull the data I want to track like dividend payments, or purchases. I've been with Fidelity for over 20 years, but this might be the last year I keep my money with them.
