MetaTrader 5 API

MetaTrader 5 REST & WebSocket API

FxSocket exposes each connected MetaTrader 5 account through a REST API and a WebSocket stream. Every account gets its own dedicated MT5 terminal in our cloud — requests to your account hit your own terminal, nobody shares it. All endpoints return JSON.

Per-account base URLhttps://api.fxsocket.com/mt5/{account_id}

{account_id} is the UUID of your connected MT5 account — copy it from the Accounts page. Your API key lives on the API Key page.

You can link, list, and remove accounts from the dashboard, or programmatically through the account-management API at https://api.fxsocket.com/v1 — see Managing Accounts.

Request Builder

Fill in your account ID and API key, pick an endpoint, and copy a ready-to-run command. The API serves no CORS headers, so requests run from your terminal or server — not from this page.

curl -H "X-API-Key: fxs_live_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.fxsocket.com/mt5/YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID/AccountSummary"
Open in browserSwagger UI — needs account IDWS tester — needs account ID + API key

Both links carry your API key in the URL so they open ready to use — Swagger arrives pre-authorized (and scrubs the key from the address bar); the WS tester URL keeps it and will appear in your browser history.

OpenAPI & Generated Clients

There are no official SDKs — the API is plain HTTP and JSON, and every account serves its own live OpenAPI 3 spec, so you can generate a typed client for any language instead:

  • Swagger UI: https://api.fxsocket.com/mt5/{account_id}/swagger-ui/ — browsable, per-account interactive docs (keep the trailing slash). No API key needed — open yours from the Request Builder above.
  • Raw spec: https://api.fxsocket.com/mt5/{account_id}/api-doc/openapi.json — point any OpenAPI generator (openapi-generator, openapi-typescript, oapi-codegen, …) at this URL.

These two routes (plus /) are the only ones served without an API key.
