Hi hsbcstor,

Thanks for posting in our forum. Regarding your questions.

1) Open API v2.0 has not been officially released yet, however it has been deployed on production servers and being tested and used by some major partners. The message you receive indicates that you are not using the correct proxy. Can you please advise which proxy do you use?

2) Yes you can use FIX API with demo accounts.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi Panagiotis,

1) I was connecting to tradeapi.spotware.com port 5035,  is it correct?

2) I got TCP disconnected after sending this login FIX... was connecting h4.p.ctrader.cn port 5211

8=FIX.4.4|9=127|35=A|49=CTRADER.13534169|56=CSERVER|34=1|52=20181106-08:24:52|57=QUOTE|50=S954906d|98=0|108=30|141=Y|553=account_id|554=password|10=000|

Hi hsbcstor,

1) No this is the proxy for v1.0. For v2.0 you need to use demo.ctraderapi.com for demo accounts and live.ctraderapi.com for live accounts. You can also find an example in C# here

2) Which broker's account is it? Does this happen every time you send this message or was it something temporary?

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

2) it is a demo account, no brokers. It happens every time.

ProtoOACashFlowHistoryListReq unsupported

trying out the v2 API, looks like ProtoOACashFlowHistoryListReq is not handled. Not sure why.

2018-11-07 10:20:42 [TradingApiClient => demo.ctraderapi.com] ProtoOACashFlowHistoryListReq, ctidTraderAccountId: <account_id>
fromTimestamp: 1541125185209
toTimestamp: 1541557185209

2018-11-07 10:20:42 [demo.ctraderapi.com => TradingApiClient] ProtoOAErrorRes, errorCode: "UNSUPPORTED_MESSAGE"
description: "Request is not supported: class com.xtrader.protocol.openapi.v2.ProtoOACashFlowHistoryListRes"

Grateful if there are more docs on the OpenAPI v2.

Hi tetra,

As I said above, Open API v2.0 has not been officially released yet. Documentation has not been completed. For the sample, you will need to send me your application credentials and the token you use at connect@spotware.com to check.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

RE:

Hi,

I can't really follow the answer, what is new in openapi 2.0? What is the difference or new? Why openapi 2.0 created?

Hi Panagiotis,

Do you know which brokers offer Open API 2.0 or even 1.0?

Hi viniciusfre,

By default the API is enabled for all cTrader brokers. However a broker can block specific API applications. For more information, you need to contact your broker.

Ok, this is great.

But I was in contact with Pepperstone and apparently they do not even know the difference between FIX API and Open API. They just say: "yes, we support API. Email us and ask to activate API access"... I bet the other brokers also does not know the difference.

So we need that spotware inform them about the Open API and how to give us Open API access.

Thanks.
