# PluginType (interface)

Represents a plugin algorithm type.

Environments: Desktop supported · CLI supported · Cloud not supported.

- Cloud: Never available in the cloud: it is only returned by members that do not work there (AlgoRegistry.Plugins).

## Definition

```csharp
public interface PluginType
```

## Examples

C#:

```csharp
public partial class TestExample : Robot
{
    protected override void OnStart()
    {
        if (AlgoRegistry.Get("Sample Test Plugin", AlgoKind.Plugin) is PluginType pluginType)
            Print($"Name: {pluginType.Name} | Parameters #: {pluginType.Parameters.Count}");
    }
}
```

Python:

```python
import clr

clr.AddReference("cAlgo.API")

# Import cAlgo API types
from cAlgo.API import *

# Import trading wrapper functions
from robot_wrapper import *

from System import Action

class Test():
    def on_start(self):
        algoType = api.AlgoRegistry.Get("Sample Test Plugin", AlgoKind.Plugin)
        if algoType is not None:
            pluginType = PluginType(algoType)
            print(f"Name: {pluginType.Name} | Parameters #: {pluginType.Parameters.Count}")
```
