cTrader Layer

A Node.js communication layer for the cTrader Open API. This implementation is created and maintained by Reiryoku Technologies and its contributors.

Installation

npm install @uakpan/ctrader-layer

Usage

For the cTrader Open API usage refer to the Open API Documentation.

How to establish a connection

const { CTraderConnection } = require("@uakpan/ctrader-layer");

const connection = new CTraderConnection({
    host: "demo.ctraderapi.com",
    port: 5035,
});

await connection.open();

How to send commands

You can use the sendCommand method to send a command with payload to the server. The method returns a Promise resolved only when a response from the server is received. If the response to the command contains an error code then the returned Promise is rejected.

await connection.sendCommand("PayloadName", {
    foo: "bar",
});

How to authenticate an application

await connection.sendCommand("ProtoOAApplicationAuthReq", {
    clientId: "foo",
    clientSecret: "bar",
});

How to keep connection alive

You can send a heartbeat message every 25 seconds to keep the connection alive.

setInterval(() => connection.sendHeartbeat(), 25000);

How to listen events from server

connection.on("EventName", (event) => {
    console.log(event);
});

How to get the access token profile information

Through HTTP request.

console.log(await CTraderConnection.getAccessTokenProfile("access-token"));

How to get the access token accounts

Through HTTP request.

console.log(await CTraderConnection.getAccessTokenAccounts("access-token"));
