Runs in a web page on the same computer as MetaTrader 5. The API allows cross-origin requests.

All examples assume the EA is running on the same computer with default ports. Order examples are for demo accounts.

Get a price

const API = "http://127.0.0.1:81";
const q = await fetch(`${API}/v1/quote?symbol=EURUSD`).then((r) => r.json());
document.querySelector("#price").textContent = `${q.BID} / ${q.ASK}`;

Live price board

<div id="board"></div>
<script type="module">
  const API = "http://127.0.0.1:81";
  await fetch(`${API}/v1/track/prices?symbols=EURUSD,GBPUSD,XAUUSD`, { method: "POST" });
  const rows = {};
  const ws = new WebSocket("ws://127.0.0.1:81");
  ws.onmessage = (e) => {
    const m = JSON.parse(e.data);
    if (m.MSG !== "TRACK_PRICES") return;
    rows[m.SYMBOL] ??= document.getElementById("board").appendChild(document.createElement("p"));
    rows[m.SYMBOL].textContent = `${m.SYMBOL}  ${m.BID}  ${m.ASK}`;
  };
</script>
