# 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/version` to check if the API is running correctly.
|
|
|
|
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]
|
|
```
|
|
|
