 API Integration

Connect  to Trade Apps step by step: static IP, API key page, Client ID and Secret code, Connect.

What you need before you start?

#

This page connects your  account to Trade Apps, from start to finish. It takes about 10 minutes the first time. After that, you only press Connect once each trading day.

You will move between two websites: Trade Apps (our platform) and  web platform. Keep both open in two browser tabs.

  • Your  trading account, active, and your login details for it.
  • Your Trade Apps login, with this broker account already showing under Settings → Brokers Connected. If it is not there, WhatsApp support at 9398840360 — accounts are added by our team.
  • A laptop or desktop is easier than a phone for the broker portal.

Step 1 — Get your static IP in Trade Apps

#

Brokers accept API orders only from an address you have approved, called a static IP. Trade Apps gives you one with your subscription. Free-trial accounts get none, because Forward Testing does not need it.

Open Settings. Under Brokers Connected, find your  account and click the small pencil (Edit) button on its right.

In the form that opens, the Static IP box says Not assigned yet. Click the Get static IP link under it. A box appears with Your static IP (IPv6) and a Copy IP button. Under it is the Redirect URL with a Copy redirect URL button. You need both in the next step.

Copy the IP now (and the redirect URL, if shown) and keep this tab open. If the form already shows a static IP, there is no button — copy the IP from the Static IP box, and the redirect URL from the Redirect URL box in the same form.

  • Your IP for  is an IPv6 address. It is long, with colons — for example 2402:1f00:8300:… Copy the whole thing.
  • Paste only the IP. Never add a port number, and never use your home Wi-Fi or mobile IP.
The account edit form in Settings for a new account: Broker Type, Client ID, Static IP showing Not assigned yet with the Get static IP link under it, the empty API detail boxes, and Save Credentials.
A new account: no static IP yet, so the Get static IP link shows under the box. Your own form shows your own client ID.

Step 2 — Open the API key page

#

Open the  web platform in a new tab and log in with your  login details.

Open your profile page (the three dots at the top right, then your profile). Click the orange API KEY button.

The profile page of the trading platform with Security, Accessibility, Connection, Order Preference and LoggedIn Sessions, and the orange Freeze Account and API KEY buttons at the top.
Grey boxes hide private details such as keys, IPs and names.

Step 3 — Add the redirect URL and your IP

#

On Api Key Generation, fill in:

  • URL — paste the redirect URL from Trade Apps.
  • Primary IP Address — paste your Trade Apps IP. It is IPv6; this box accepts it.
  • Backup IP Address — leave empty.
  • Click Update.
The Api Key Generation page with Client Id, Secret Code, the URL box filled with the Trade Apps redirect URL, Primary IP Address and Backup IP Address boxes, and an Update button.
Grey boxes hide private details such as keys, IPs and names.

Step 4 — Copy the Client Id and Secret Code

#

After Update, the same page keeps your settings. Copy the Client Id (ending in _U) and the Secret Code with the copy icons on the right.

The Api Key Generation page after saving, with the Client Id and Secret Code at the top and their copy icons.
Copy these two. Grey boxes hide private details such as keys, IPs and names.

Paste the details in Trade Apps

#

Go back to the Trade Apps tab. Open Settings, click the pencil on your  account again, and fill in:

  • Client ID — your  trading client ID, for example FA12345.
  • API Key — the Client Id from the API key page (the one ending in _U).
  • API Secret — the Secret Code from the API key page.
  • Click Save Credentials.
The same edit form in Settings, with only the boxes for the API details outlined.
Paste into the outlined boxes, then click Save Credentials.

Connect and check it worked

#

Under Brokers Connected, click Connect. The  page opens: the first time it asks for the full login, later only an Authorize button. You come back to Trade Apps by yourself.

When it worked, your account in Brokers Connected shows a green dot and the words Session active (broker validated). You are ready to trade.

Broker sessions end every night. Each trading day, open Settings and press Connect once before the market opens. You do not repeat the setup.

The account under Brokers Connected after setup: a green dot, the client ID, the static IP and the words Session active (broker validated), with the edit, refresh and Disconnect buttons.
Green dot and Session active — the setup is done.

If it does not work

#

Check these in order. Most failures are one of the first three.

  • Wrong IP or IP saved in the wrong box. In the  web platform, the IP must be exactly the one Trade Apps shows, in the IPv6 box. After changing it, wait 2 minutes, then press Connect again.
  • Redirect URL has a typo or extra space. Copy it again with the Copy redirect URL button and paste it fresh.
  • Key and secret swapped, or a space copied with them. Paste each one again into the right box.
  • Trading ID typed in the API Key box. The API Key box takes the Client Id from the API page (ending in _U); your plain trading ID goes in Client ID.
  • Still stuck? WhatsApp 9398840360 with a screenshot of the error and the time. Never send your password, OTP, TOTP secret or API secret — we never need them.
