This page shows how to connect your Trading 212 account to guito. Once connected, guito automatically syncs positions, cash, dividends, deposits, and order history, which then appear alongside the rest of your net worth with no manual entry. This feature is available on the Plus plan.
guito has read-only access. It never places orders or moves money in your Trading 212 account.

​
Connect your account

You’ll need a personal API key generated in Trading 212. Each key covers one account (Invest or ISA).
1

Open the connections page

Go to Connections in the sidebar (under Wealth > Accounts) or directly at /accounts/connections.
2

Connect Trading 212

In the add-connection section, click Connect Trading 212.
3

Generate an API key in Trading 212

Follow the instructions in the dialog: in your Trading 212 account, go to Settings > API > Generate new key, with read permissions.
4

Paste the key and confirm

Paste the key into the dialog field and confirm.
5

Wait for the sync

guito returns to the Connections page and shows a Syncing indicator on the Trading 212 row while it fetches positions, orders, dividends, and Pies. You can keep browsing normally. You’ll get a notification in the corner when the sync finishes (or if it fails).
To connect both accounts (Invest and ISA), generate a key in each one and add two separate connections.

​
Keep your data up to date

You don’t have to do anything to keep the account current. guito syncs Trading 212 every 4 hours in the background and, whenever you open the Connections or Investments page, triggers a new sync if the last one was more than 1 hour ago. There’s no manual sync button: to force an update, just visit one of those pages.
The Trading 212 API only provides the last 90 days of order and transaction history. Later syncs keep everything already imported, but the first sync won’t bring in older movements.

​
What guito syncs

Positions

Your positions appear in your portfolio with the average cost computed from the imported orders.

Cash

The balance shown is your total Trading 212 wallet: free cash, cash in Pies, and cash reserved for limit orders.

Dividends and interest

Dividends and interest are imported and classified under the Investments category.

Deposits and fees

Deposits and withdrawals come in as Transfers; fees go under Fees and charges.

​
Pies (automatic portfolios)

Each Pie appears as a separate portfolio in your portfolio list, named Trading 212: [Pie name]. If you hold the same asset inside a Pie and outside it, you’ll see two separate positions with independent average cost, grouped under the same ticker in the overview.

​
Multiple currencies

If your Trading 212 account holds cash in more than one currency (for example euros and dollars), guito treats each currency as its own cash account (“Trading 212 (USD)”, “Trading 212 (GBP)”), each with its own history in the original currency and converted to euros in your totals. Currency conversions appear as a transfer between those accounts, with the fee recorded separately under Fees and charges.

​
Quotes

Trading 212 provides the current price of each position on every sync, and guito stores that price as an intraday reference. Price history continues to come from the market data provider. For assets without coverage (DIRECT mode), the chart shows only the data since you connected your Trading 212 account.

​
How movements are classified

Each movement arrives with the right category already set, derived from the event type Trading 212 sends:
  • Buys and sells go under Investments.
  • Dividends and interest also go under Investments.
  • Broker deposits and withdrawals are Transfers.
  • Fees go under Fees and charges.
Buys, sells, and dividends show the company logo for the ticker and a description with the product name and ticker (“Buy 10 Apple Inc. (AAPL)”). On the detail of an imported buy, sell, or dividend, you’ll find an Investment field with a View in portfolio link that takes you straight to the asset’s page.

​
Corporate actions and special cases

guito automatically processes stock splits, dividends paid in shares, and free-of-payment transfers (FOP).
An acquisition (for example, one company acquiring another) appears with both legs, and guito shows a review suggestion to transfer the average cost manually.
The cash received lands in your account but isn’t treated as a dividend, because it isn’t income. guito suggests adjusting the position’s average cost manually.
If you had manually recorded a buy or sell that Trading 212 now also imports, guito suggests the match on the Connections page so you can accept or dismiss it.
When a position has an ISIN that guito doesn’t yet know, a new product is created automatically from the market data provider. If there’s no match, the product stays in DIRECT mode: the current price comes from Trading 212 and the chart shows only the data since you connected.

​
Disconnect, reconnect, and update the key

In the action menu on the connection card, choose Disconnect. The cash account is archived and the API key is deleted from the vault. Historical transactions, positions, and Pies stay visible. If you generate a new key in Trading 212 (or the previous one was revoked), just go back to Connect Trading 212 with the new key. guito recognizes it’s the same account, replaces the key in the vault, and keeps all the history (transactions, positions, Pies). The same applies after a disconnect: reconnecting the same account reactivates it in its previous state instead of creating a new account.
If a sync fails (revoked key or problems at Trading 212), the connection is marked as Error. You can reconnect from the Connections page.

​
Limitations

  • Only real Invest and ISA accounts. Demo (paper trading) and CFD accounts are not supported.
  • The history provided by the API only covers the last 90 days on the first sync.
  • Available on the Plus plan only.
