With the EA running, open this address on the same computer:

http://127.0.0.1:81/v1/quote?symbol=EURUSD

You’ll see the current EURUSD price as JSON.

From a terminal

# price
curl "http://127.0.0.1:81/v1/quote?symbol=EURUSD"

# buy 0.01 lot (demo account)
curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:81/v1/order?symbol=EURUSD&volume=0.01&type=ORDER_TYPE_BUY"

# list open positions and pending orders
curl "http://127.0.0.1:81/v1/order/list"

A successful order returns "RETCODE":10009 and "ERROR_ID":0:
