Version 2.5.0
This document presents information on API communication protocol. The communication protocol of the API uses JSON format.
JSON format used by the server doesn't allow extensions (e.g. comments, other flags). JSON format standardization document is available under the following link: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4627.
The connection is performed by clean socket connection. For real trading SSL connection will be used.
The following definitions will be used in this specification document:
A j-object can contain zero elements. A j-array can have zero length. The name of j-value can be an empty string.
Encoding of strings is set to UTF-8. In this format the server sends and receives data.
Definition of unix-time:
Unix time, or POSIX time, is a system for describing points in time, defined as the number of milliseconds elapsed since midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of January 1, 1970.
Each packet consists of exactly one main, unnamed j-value. The data stream consists of consecutive j–values, with no punctuation.
The main j-value is a j-object containing exactly two j-subvalues which are j-objects. The first j-subobject is named header and consists of at least a field type as a simple type string. This is a packet type. The second j-subobject of the main packet j-object is named data and its content is specific to a given packet type. The specifications for different types of packages are described in the next chapter.
A sample of properly defined packet:
{ "command" : "login", "arguments" : { "userId" : "1000", "password": "PASSWORD" } }
Every single command sent to the API is allowed to contain an optional field called customTag. The API guarantees to return the very same customTag in the command’s response. For example, the following command:
{ "command" : "login", "arguments" : { "userId" : "1000", "password": "PASSWORD" }, "customTag": "my_login_command_id" }
returns (in case of a successful login):
{ "status": true, "customTag": "my_login_command_id" }
Host:
Here are the details of DEMO and REAL servers hosted on each of the addresses above:
Furthermore, WebSockets can be used to connect to the API using the following addresses:
All servers use SSL connection.
Communication is established as long as both server and client have opened and connected sockets.
For convenience server guarantees that every separate reply to client command returned by server will be separated by two new line characters ("\n").
In order to provide best service for all users API set rules on connection and data send process. If any of the following rules is breached, then connection is closed immediately without server notification.
List of rules:
Exception:
If the client sends a request that is a valid JSON object, but does not conform to the published API (incorrect command, missing fields, etc.), the response is sent back with the error description but the connection is not closed.
This rule prevents incorrect messages from reaching further down the processing chain and allows clients to analyze and understand the source of problem.
Default login credentials can be obtained at: http://developers.xstore.pro/panel/.
The input data format is a JSON object that consists of service name and command name. Some commands also require an object of command's arguments.
If optional prettyPrint
field is set to true, an output JSON is printed in human-readable format. prettyPrint
field can be omitted.
{ "command": "commandName", "arguments": { "arg1Name": 10, "arg2Name": "Some text", ... }, "prettyPrint": true }
The output data format is a JSON object that consists of status
and returnData
fields if command succeeded, or status
, errorCode
and errorDescr
fields if an error occurred.
{ "status": true, "returnData": JSON value }
or, in case of an error:
{ "status": false, "errorCode": "E123", "errorDescr": "Error description" }
Time is number of milliseconds from 01.01.1970, 00:00 GMT.
In all Floating numbers '.' (period) is used as a decimal separator.
Request-Reply commands are performed on main connection socket. The reply is sent by main connection socket.
In order to perform any action client application have to perform login process. No functionality is available before proper login process.
After initial login, a new session is created and all commands are executed for a logged user until he/she logs out or drops the connection.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Desc |
---|---|---|
userId | String | userId |
password | String | password |
appId | String | (optional, deprecated) |
appName | String | (optional) application name |
Example:
{ "command": "login", "arguments": { "userId": "1000", "password": "PASSWORD", "appId": "test", "appName": "test" } }
After successful login the system responds with the status
message that can contain the String representing streamSessionId
field:
{ "status": true, "streamSessionId": "8469308861804289383" }
The streamSessionId
field of the string type, if present, is a token that can be used to establish a streaming subscription on a separate network connection. streamSessionId
is used in streaming subscription commands.
streamSessionId
is unique for the given main session and will change between login sessions.
Format of input:
{ "command": "logout" }
No returnData
field in output. Only status
message is sent.
Description: Returns array of all symbols available for the user.
Example:
{ "command": "getAllSymbols" }

Description: Please note that this function can be usually replaced by its streaming equivalent getCandles
which is the preferred way of retrieving current candle data. Returns chart info, from start date to the current time. If the chosen period of CHART_LAST_INFO_RECORD
is greater than 1 minute, the last candle returned by the API can change until the end of the period (the candle is being automatically updated every minute).
Limitations: there are limitations in charts data availability. Detailed ranges for charts data, what can be accessed with specific period, are as follows:
PERIOD_M1 --- <0-1) month, i.e. one month time
PERIOD_M30 --- <1-7) month, six months time
PERIOD_H4 --- <7-13) month, six months time
PERIOD_D1 --- 13 month, and earlier on
Note, that specific PERIOD_ is the lowest (i.e. the most detailed) period, accessible in listed range. For instance, in months range <1-7) you can access periods: PERIOD_M30, PERIOD_H1, PERIOD_H4, PERIOD_D1, PERIOD_W1, PERIOD_MN1. Specific data ranges availability is guaranteed, however those ranges may be wider, e.g.: PERIOD_M1 may be accessible for 1.5 months back from now, where 1.0 months is guaranteed.

command with the order
number, that came back with the response of the tradeTransaction
command. You can find the example here: developers.xstore.pro/api/tutorials/opening_and_closing_trades2

It is recommended that any application that does not execute other commands, should call this command at least once every 10 minutes.
