Is There an API for GLEX?

Yes. MetaTrader API is an independent REST and WebSocket API that bridges GLEX MT5 trading accounts to external applications — it is not operated by GLEX and is not a replacement for the MetaTrader desktop app or an Expert Advisor. You connect each GLEX account once with its login, main (trading) password and server; your code then calls the API with an API key, and MetaTrader API handles the live connection to GLEX’s MT5 servers on your behalf. Once connected, you can retrieve live balance, equity, and margin data, execute or modify trades, and subscribe to real-time quotes, positions, orders and executed trades over WebSocket — all through standard HTTP and WebSocket calls in any programming language. No Expert Advisor, MQL code, or MetaTrader installation is required at any point, and a newly connected account is usually live within 1–2 minutes.
