mt5-httpapi

REST API on top of MetaTrader 5 running inside a Windows VM. Talk to it with plain HTTP/JSON — no MT5 libraries, no Windows, no bullshit. Just curl and go.

For installation and setup, see references/setup.md.

Setup

The API should already be running. Set the base URL and token:

export MT5_API_URL=http://localhost:6542
export MT5_API_TOKEN=your_token_here

Each terminal has its own port (configured in terminals.json). If running multiple terminals, set MT5_API_URL to the port for the terminal you want to talk to.

Verify: curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $MT5_API_TOKEN" $MT5_API_URL/ping — should return {"status": "ok"}. If not, the API isn't up yet (may still be initializing — it retries in the background).
