How to get margin requirements of an instrument?

[nbozeman]

Each instrument has a margin requirement, e.g. 50:1 or 2%. However, these vary from instrument to instrument based on NFA rules for each currency pair. You can see what that looks like here: https://www.oanda.com/resources/legal/united-states/legal/margin-rates.

Currently, there is no way to retrieve this information programatically to determine the maximum trade size possible (e.g., 36,049). The Oanda mobile and webpp do provide this in real time, however. So is there a way to do this through the rest api?

(Thank you in advance!)
