// infrastructure

You build the app. We handle the bridge.

Your CRM, bot or web platform talks plain JSON to our engine — we run the complex MetaTrader terminal layer against the broker.

THE OLD WAY

  • Run the MetaTrader desktop terminal on a VPS you maintain.
  • Write and install complex Expert Advisors (MQL).
  • High operational server cost & maintenance.

METATRADER API

  • Pure REST & WebSocket — standard JSON over HTTPS.
  • No EAs, no terminal to install — we host the infrastructure.
  • Manage unlimited accounts* on a 99.95% SLA.
// pricing

Frequently asked questions

What is a MetaTrader API?+
It’s an API layer that makes MT4 and MT5 trading accounts accessible over REST and WebSocket — so your apps can retrieve account data and control trades without a running terminal and without Expert Advisors.
Is this an MT4 API or MT5 API?+
Both. Plans are available for MT4 or MT5 separately, and the Full Pro plan includes MT4 + MT5 combined.
Do I need a running MetaTrader terminal or EA?+
No. MetaTrader API eliminates that requirement. All you need is an API key — no terminal install, no EA deployment. We host the terminal layer for you.
Do you offer a WebSocket / streaming API?+
Yes. WebSocket streaming is included for live quotes, order updates and account equity changes in real time. A typed gRPC interface is available too.
How do I get an MT4 / MT5 API key?+
On the Single Account plan, your API key is in the dashboard under Settings. Requests are authenticated with the x-api-key header plus a per-account UUID.
Is this the official MetaQuotes Manager or Server API?+
No. MetaTrader API is an independent service and is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by MetaQuotes. There is no official public API from MetaQuotes.
What are the fair-usage and payment terms?+
Unlimited plans are subject to our Fair Usage Policy. We accept Stripe (card), Crypto and Bank Transfer.
