Open API refers to a publicly available program interface that allows users to implement their own strategies, such as algorithms and quant strategies, into automated trading programs. Korea Investment & Securities offers various trading service-related Open APIs, including domestic and international stock and derivatives price checks, account inquiries, and trade orders, through its own developer center, 'KIS Developers'.

At KIS Developers, detailed explanations and examples are provided for each function. Individual inquiries are also possible, supporting easy use by general customers who are not professional developers. Recently, 213 new APIs requested by customers, such as real-time quotes and investor trends, have been reflected to enhance customer convenience.

Jae-Hyun Park, Head of the Individual Customer Group, said, "We will improve accessibility to Korea Investment & Securities' Open API and continuously enhance the service to provide customers with a more diverse investment experience."
