Hi

Hope someone can help me. I'm trying to get started with the cTrader Open API and according to this documentation ...

https://connect.spotware.com/docs/api-reference

... I'm supposed to Apply for Partner's Credentials and create a new app.

So I'm following these steps ...

• Open the URL https://sandbox-connect.spotware.com
• Log In/Create a new cTrader ID
• Choose an item "Add a New App" from top right menu

Unfortunately, after logging in with my cTrader ID I don't see an option titled "Add a New App" from top right menu.

I've spent a good hour or so trying to work this out.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

OK - I seem to have progressed a little bit. Managed to Add a New App. I think the problem was the redirection after logging in. Didn't go to the right place.

Anyway I've just been told by my potential future broker that Spotware stopped supporting the cTrader Open API some 9 months ago. Broker is Pepperstone. I was in contact with them because I couldn't link my demo account at Pepperstone with my cTrader ID so that I could apply the application I submitted to my demo account. Didn't think it would be this hard.

Anyone know whether this is true and the Open API is no longer supported?

Thanks

Hi sancra01,

Spotware Connect API is fully operational and fully supported. Let me know if you need any further assistance.
