Institution Application Process

Note

For administrators (with function permission: [User Management] as well as [OpenAPI Application]), you need to complete the Open API Services application, then grant Open API Access to users within your organization, allowing them to create their own app keys and secret keys (AK/SK) and manage accounts through API.

For non-administrator users, you must first contact an administrator to enable Open API Access, then go to create api keys application and, following the page instructions, create your personal Open API Keys application in the Developer Center.

Apply for Open API Services​

  1. Open the Webull Portal Prod. Log in using your Webull registered account. (If you do not have a Webull account yet, please click the Register button to sign up first.) img.png

  2. After logging in, please click the Open API >> OpenAPI Application to apply for the API. img.png If you have not opened an account, click the [Open Account] button and follow the instructions to submit your account opening information. You will need to wait until the account opening is completed before you can apply for the API. img.png

    Note

    After submitting your API application, it will be reviewed by Webull operations staff. The review is expected to take 1 to 2 business days at the fastest.

  3. Once your application is approved, an email will be sent to the email address you provided during account registration. You can also view the status under [Open API] -> [OpenAPI Application] in the Webull Portal Prod, as shown below: img.png

Open API Access Authorization​

  1. The admin can go to [User Management] to grant Open API Access to users in your organization. Once authorized, users can generate their own API keys and perform operations with them. img.png img.png

Create API Keys Application​

Below is an example after key generation, which includes your Permissions, and the IP whitelist you have set.

  1. To Check if you have been enabled Open API access by the institution administrator, please go to [Open API] -> [My OpenAPI Access]. img.png If you do not have OpenAPI access rights, the [My OpenAPI Access] page will display as follows. img.png

    note

    You can contact the institution administrator to grant access rights to OpenAPI.

  2. If your OpenAPI Access has been enabled already, you can click Go To Website to View to jump into the [Developer Tools Center] login page. You will be asked to login again with the same login credential. img.png img.png img.png

  3. After registration is complete, click [Generate Key] to create your app key. During the key generation process, you will need to complete SMS verification and MFA code verification.
