Robinhood buying power, lots and quotes

Robinhood Markets, Inc. · Banking

Robinhood: Trading & Investing is Robinhood Markets, Inc.'s Android brokerage for US retail investors. Customers place stock, ETF, options and crypto tickets, fund brokerage and retirement accounts, spend on the Robinhood Gold Card, move cash over ACH, and watch live quotes and charts. The client ships as com.robinhood.android (build 2026.41.2) and sits in commission-free US retail brokerage alongside Webull, SoFi Invest and Public.

Cash-account buying_power sits next to margin day_trade_buying_power, overnight_buying_power and nested crypto_buying_power, while a deficit view adds unleveraged_buying_power and held_deposits. Equity lots keep quantity against average_buy_price and shares_available_for_sells. NBBO rows stamp last_trade_price, bid_price and ask_price; candle series add begins_at, open_price, high_price, low_price, close_price and volume. Linked banks expose bank_routing_number and bank_account_type; ACH legs carry early_access_amount and direction. Crypto pairs list symbol with minOrderSize and maxOrderSize.

Reconcile desks line lot average_buy_price up with quote last_trade_price, funding ops wait on ACH state versus early_access_amount, and crypto desks check minOrderSize before tickets. openData Studio turns that buying-power, lot, quote, ACH and pair surface into callable open data.

The endpoints and request/response examples below are reconstructed from the app's interface — illustrative, not a live capture.

OAuth token
POST /v1/sessions/token osint
Issues a session token for the signed-in customer. A password grant covers login and a refresh_token grant renews the session. access_token is the Bearer for brokerage, market-data, ACH and crypto calls; mfa_required gates a challenge when extra verification is needed.
Auth: Unauthenticated. Form body carries grant_type (password, refresh_token, passkey or account_recovery) and username. The token response returns access_token, refresh_token, token_type, expires_in, scope, mfa_required and user_uuid; later calls send Authorization Bearer access_token.

Where teams use this data

Buying-power vs overnight margin
A risk bot pulls cash_balances.buying_power and margin_balances.day_trade_buying_power / overnight_buying_power, then matches ApiBuyingPowerBreakdown.unleveraged_buying_power, held_deposits and deficit so PDT and overnight calls page the same ledger.
Lot mark-to-market vs NBBO
A bookkeeping job joins ApiPosition.quantity and average_buy_price to ApiQuote.last_trade_price, bid_price and ask_price so unrealized P&L and shares_available_for_sells stay in one blotter.
ACH early-access vs bank rail
Funding ops read ApiAchRelationship.bank_routing_number, state and verified, then match ApiAchTransfer.early_access_amount, direction and expected_landing_date against account max_ach_early_access_amount.
Crypto pair size gates
A crypto desk checks ApiCurrencyPair.symbol, minOrderSize, maxOrderSize and minOrderPriceIncrement before tickets, skipping displayOnly pairs.

Frequently asked questions

How does Robinhood authenticate a session?

A token call returns access_token, refresh_token, token_type, expires_in and user_uuid. grant_type password is the login path; refresh_token renews the Bearer. mfa_required plus challenge gate extra verification. Later brokerage, quote and ACH calls send Authorization Bearer access_token.

Which fields identify a Robinhood brokerage account?

account_number is the customer-facing id; rhs_account_number is the clearing id. Nested cash_balances.buying_power and margin_balances.day_trade_buying_power / overnight_buying_power feed the buying-power strip, with option_level and drip_enabled describing options and dividend reinvestment.

How are equity lots and quotes joined?

A position's instrument_id matches the quote instrument. quantity and average_buy_price are the lot; last_trade_price, bid_price and ask_price mark it to market. shares_available_for_sells versus shares_held_for_options_collateral splits free and pledged shares.

What ACH fields matter for instant deposits?

bank_routing_number, state and verified describe the linked bank. A transfer's early_access_amount is the instant slice, capped by the account max_ach_early_access_amount, with direction, state and expected_landing_date tracking the leg.
