What African stock exchanges does the MyStocks API cover?

The Partner API covers NSE Kenya, NGX Nigeria, JSE South Africa, GSE Ghana, BRVM, ZSE Zimbabwe, BSE Botswana, LuSE Zambia, EGX Egypt, DSE Tanzania, USE Uganda, MSE Malawi, CSE Morocco and SEM Mauritius, plus platform-supported bonds, funds and private market instruments.

Can I embed African stock trading into my fintech app using an API?

Yes. Partners can create sub-accounts, fund wallets, place buy and sell orders, reconcile positions, and receive webhook events through one REST API integration.

Does the API support bonds, funds and private market opportunities?

Yes. The docs include partner endpoints for bonds, funds, ETFs, private credit, pre-IPO opportunities, subscriptions, redemptions and reporting.

How do partners handle KYC for their users?

Partners can run their own KYC and assert the verified status through the KYC endpoint before enabling investment activity for a sub-account.

Is there a sandbox environment for testing?

Yes. Sandbox API keys begin with sk_sandbox_ and provide an isolated test environment with virtual funds. Sandbox trades do not hit real markets.
