How to communicate with the xtb API?

New comment
 

I am trying to copy trades from my MT5 account to xStation account using the XTB API.
The Problem is that I don't understand how to communicate with API.

I have tried using socket but I am unable to send an HTTP request with given command arguments, so I need help doing that.

I would like to know if it is possible to communicate without the Socket.

I will appreciate all efforts to help

The code I am trying to use is below:

bool ExtTLS = true;
bool HTTPRecv(int socket,uint timeout)
  {
   char   rsp[];
   string result;
   uint   timeout_check=GetTickCount()+timeout;
//--- read data from sockets till they are still present but not longer than timeout
   do
     {
      uint len=SocketIsReadable(socket);
      if(len)
        {
         int rsp_len;
         //--- various reading commands depending on whether the connection is secure or not
         if(ExtTLS)
            rsp_len=SocketTlsRead(socket,rsp,len);
         else
            rsp_len=SocketRead(socket,rsp,len,timeout);
         //--- analyze the response
         if(rsp_len>0)
           {
            result+=CharArrayToString(rsp,0,rsp_len);
            //--- print only the response header
            int header_end=StringFind(result,"\r\n\r\n");
            if(header_end>0)
              {
               Print("HTTP answer header received:");
               Print(result);
               return(true);
              }
           }
        }
     }
   while(GetTickCount()<timeout_check && !IsStopped());
   return(false);
  }

bool HTTPSend(int socket,string request)
  {
   char req[];
   int  len=StringToCharArray(request,req)-1;
   if(len<0)
      return(false);
//--- if secure TLS connection is used via the port 443
   if(ExtTLS)
      return(SocketTlsSend(socket,req,len)==len);
//--- if standard TCP connection is used
   return(SocketSend(socket,req,len)==len);
  }

void OpenTrade()

   string com = "{\"command\": \"logout\"}";
   string wsRequest = "POST / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:xapi.xtb.com\r\n\r\n";
   int conn = SocketCreate();
   SocketConnect(conn,"wss://ws.xtb.com/demo",443,1000);
   Print(HTTPSend(conn,wsRequest));
   Print(HTTPRecv(conn,1000));

The code I am trying to use is below:

Checking this API documentation, it's using a WebSocket through SSL, so you need to learn how to code that. It can't be done without a Socket in MQL.

could you by any chance check the HTTPsend function, the requests sent return 500 server internal error for valid commands

 

Could you solve your problem friend?
