Register a new application

To integrate with cTrader Open API, you will first need to register an application. You will be required to use the application credentials for accessing the API.

Create a new application

To create a new API application, perform the following actions:

1. Open cTrader Open API portal.

2. Log in using your cTrader ID.

3. After logging in, open the applications page.

4. Select the Add new app button.

5. Fill out the application form.

Fast approval

To ensure your application gets approved as quickly as possible, please provide its detailed description.

6. Select Save.

Afterwards, the newly created application will appear in the applications list. Its status will be set to "submitted".

After the application is reviewed by Spotware, you will be contacted via email. The message will either confirm the application approval or request further details about your application.

Add redirect URIs

Once your application is approved by Spotware, you can start integrating with cTrader Open API. The next step is to add a redirect URI that will be used for account authentication.

Note that you can always change the redirect URIs assigned to your application, remove them entirely or add new ones.

The default redirect URI

The default redirect URI is only for the playground environment. As it does not work outside the playground environment, you cannot use it in your code.
