# REST API Usage
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Enable the rest API by adding the api_server section to your configuration and setting `api_server.enabled` to `true`.
|
|
|
|
Sample configuration:
|
|
|
|
``` json
|
|
"api_server": {
|
|
"enabled": true,
|
|
"listen_ip_address": "127.0.0.1",
|
|
"listen_port": 8080,
|
|
"username": "Freqtrader",
|
|
"password": "SuperSecret1!"
|
|
},
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! Danger "Security warning"
|
|
By default, the configuration listens on localhost only (so it's not reachable from other systems). We strongly recommend to not expose this API to the internet and choose a strong, unique password, since others will potentially be able to control your bot.
|
|
|
|
!!! Danger "Password selection"
|
|
Please make sure to select a very strong, unique password to protect your bot from unauthorized access.
|
|
|
|
You can then access the API by going to `http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/ping` in a browser to check if the API is running correctly.
|
|
This should return the response:
|
|
|
|
``` output
|
|
{"status":"pong"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All other endpoints return sensitive info and require authentication, so are not available through a web browser.
|
|
|
|
To generate a secure password, either use a password manager, or use the below code snipped.
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
import secrets
|
|
secrets.token_hex()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Configuration with docker
|
|
|
|
If you run your bot using docker, you'll need to have the bot listen to incomming connections. The security is then handled by docker.
|
|
|
|
``` json
|
|
"api_server": {
|
|
"enabled": true,
|
|
"listen_ip_address": "0.0.0.0",
|
|
"listen_port": 8080
|
|
},
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add the following to your docker command:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
-p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A complete sample-command may then look as follows:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -d \
|
|
--name freqtrade \
|
|
-v ~/.freqtrade/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json \
|
|
-v ~/.freqtrade/user_data/:/freqtrade/user_data \
|
|
-v ~/.freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite:/freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite \
|
|
-p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
|
|
freqtrade trade --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite --strategy MyAwesomeStrategy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! Danger "Security warning"
|
|
By using `-p 8080:8080` the API is available to everyone connecting to the server under the correct port, so others may be able to control your bot.
|
|
|
|
## Consuming the API
|
|
|
|
You can consume the API by using the script `scripts/rest_client.py`.
|
|
The client script only requires the `requests` module, so Freqtrade does not need to be installed on the system.
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
python3 scripts/rest_client.py <command> [optional parameters]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default, the script assumes `127.0.0.1` (localhost) and port `8080` to be used, however you can specify a configuration file to override this behaviour.
|
|
|
|
### Minimalistic client config
|
|
|
|
``` json
|
|
{
|
|
"api_server": {
|
|
"enabled": true,
|
|
"listen_ip_address": "0.0.0.0",
|
|
"listen_port": 8080
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
python3 scripts/rest_client.py --config rest_config.json <command> [optional parameters]
|
|
```
|
|
|

## Advanced API usage using JWT tokens
|
|
|
|
!!! Note
|
|
The below should be done in an application (a Freqtrade REST API client, which fetches info via API), and is not intended to be used on a regular basis.
|
|
|
|
Freqtrade's REST API also offers JWT (JSON Web Tokens).
|
|
You can login using the following command, and subsequently use the resulting access_token.
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
> curl -X POST --user Freqtrader http://localhost:8080/api/v1/token/login
|
|
{"access_token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE1ODkxMTk2ODEsIm5iZiI6MTU4OTExOTY4MSwianRpIjoiMmEwYmY0NWUtMjhmOS00YTUzLTlmNzItMmM5ZWVlYThkNzc2IiwiZXhwIjoxNTg5MTIwNTgxLCJpZGVudGl0eSI6eyJ1IjoiRnJlcXRyYWRlciJ9LCJmcmVzaCI6ZmFsc2UsInR5cGUiOiJhY2Nlc3MifQ.qt6MAXYIa-l556OM7arBvYJ0SDI9J8bIk3_glDujF5g","refresh_token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE1ODkxMTk2ODEsIm5iZiI6MTU4OTExOTY4MSwianRpIjoiZWQ1ZWI3YjAtYjMwMy00YzAyLTg2N2MtNWViMjIxNWQ2YTMxIiwiZXhwIjoxNTkxNzExNjgxLCJpZGVudGl0eSI6eyJ1IjoiRnJlcXRyYWRlciJ9LCJ0eXBlIjoicmVmcmVzaCJ9.d1AT_jYICyTAjD0fiQAr52rkRqtxCjUGEMwlNuuzgNQ"}
|
|
|
|
> access_token="eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE1ODkxMTk2ODEsIm5iZiI6MTU4OTExOTY4MSwianRpIjoiMmEwYmY0NWUtMjhmOS00YTUzLTlmNzItMmM5ZWVlYThkNzc2IiwiZXhwIjoxNTg5MTIwNTgxLCJpZGVudGl0eSI6eyJ1IjoiRnJlcXRyYWRlciJ9LCJmcmVzaCI6ZmFsc2UsInR5cGUiOiJhY2Nlc3MifQ.qt6MAXYIa-l556OM7arBvYJ0SDI9J8bIk3_glDujF5g"
|
|
# Use access_token for authentication
|
|
> curl -X GET --header "Authorization: Bearer ${access_token}" http://localhost:8080/api/v1/count
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Since the access token has a short timeout (15 min) - the `token/refresh` request should be used periodically to get a fresh access token:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
> curl -X POST --header "Authorization: Bearer ${refresh_token}"http://localhost:8080/api/v1/token/refresh
|
|
{"access_token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE1ODkxMTk5NzQsIm5iZiI6MTU4OTExOTk3NCwianRpIjoiMDBjNTlhMWUtMjBmYS00ZTk0LTliZjAtNWQwNTg2MTdiZDIyIiwiZXhwIjoxNTg5MTIwODc0LCJpZGVudGl0eSI6eyJ1IjoiRnJlcXRyYWRlciJ9LCJmcmVzaCI6ZmFsc2UsInR5cGUiOiJhY2Nlc3MifQ.1seHlII3WprjjclY6DpRhen0rqdF4j6jbvxIhUFaSbs"}
