Want to create an iPhone/Android application, or a Facebook widget? Now you can do it with the Myfxbook API. The API allows you to access your account's data programmatically and create your own customized applications.

  • A session is non-expiring. In order to expire a session, use the logout method.
  • Use 'debug=1' in JSON type for easier development (plain and formatted text).
  • Use a secure connection (HTTPS) for maximal security.
  • In case of an error, check the 'message' field for the reason.
  • Transaction timestamps (open orders/trades, history, data points for daily gain/balance) are in local broker's time zone.
  • All response fields are self explanatory. 'Id' is the entity's id, 'accountId' is the account's number.
  • Sizing type can be lots or units (OANDA accounts).
  • The API allows access to personal information only.

The API consists of the following methods:
