fxapis-com Instruments API

Markets named once — `XAUUSD`, `US30`, `BTCUSD` — and how each maps onto an account's broker symbols. An order can name an `instrument` instead of a `symbol`, and trades that account's own symbol for it.

Operations 5

GET /v1/accounts/{id}/symbols List the symbols an account's broker offers #

OpenAPI Specification

fxapis-com-instruments-api-openapi.yml Raw ↑
openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: fxapis Instruments API
  version: 0.1.0
  description: 'fxapis is the MetaTrader 5 API. Connect an MT5 account once, then trade it, read its positions

    and its history over plain HTTP. Choose whether each account stays connected or comes online

    only when you need it.


    ### Conventions


    - Every successful response is `{ "data": … }`; every failure is `{ "error": { "code", "message" } }`.

    Match on `code`, which is stable. `message` is written for a human and may change.

    - Every response carries `requestId`. Quote it in a support request and the entire call can be found.

    - Times are RFC 3339 in UTC. Money and prices are never floats in a request body.


    ### Bringing an account online is not instant


    A broker login takes as long as the broker takes — usually seconds, occasionally much longer.

    `POST /accounts/{id}/warm` brings an account online and returns **202** with a `pollUrl` rather than

    holding the request open, so your client''s timeout never becomes a question about someone else''s

    network. Poll `GET /accounts/{id}/status` until `state` is `ready`.


    ### Credentials


    The MT5 password you send is encrypted before it is stored, with a data key that is bound to that

    one account, and is never returned by any endpoint, written to the account record or included in

    a log line. We cannot show it back to you — if it is lost, it is reset at the broker.'
