ezx-pyapi 1.1.1

EZX API client and message library for communicating with the iServer.

#EZX API

EZX Api Network Client, messages and library functions for sending and receiving orders to the EZX iServer. Release Notes can be viewed here: CHANGELOG-API.md.

#Installing

    pip install ezx-pyapi
    

#Usage

The iServer API is not really designed to be run interactively, although it is possible to do it, as shown below. The easiest way to familiarize yourself with the API is to download and run the sample API app, ezx-sample-py, from Github.

Interactive Mode

	from interactive import * #this creates an interactive connection to the iserver
	
	
	# send an order
	from iserver.msgs.convenience_msgs import *
	order = NewOrder('ZVZZT',1,100,1.25,'SIMU')
	client.send_message(order)
	
	# type: show_help() to display avaialble functions in the interactive environment
	
	Available functions: (type help(function name) to see the parameters for the function.):
	----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	connect - Connect to the iserver.
	stop - Disconnect from the iserver.  You will need to call the connect method again to reconnect.
	status - Indicates connection status. if connected=True, then the client is logged in to the iserver.
	show_help - Displays information about available functions.
	----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	
	 status()
	 iserver client connected=True. company=EROOM, user=test1
	 
	 # Replace an order
	 client.send_message(ReplaceOrder(551, -1.24, 60))
	 
	 # Cancel an order
	 client.send_message(CancelOrder(551))
	 
	 # disconnect
	 stop()
	 
	

More...

The default message handler just prints the responses from the server. You can set your own handler as follows:

	from iserver.msgs.OrderResponse import OrderResponse
	
	responses = []
	import iserver.net
	def my_msg_handler(msg_subtype: int, msg: EzxMsg):
		iserver.net.empty_msg_handler(msg_subtype, msg) # print the message
		# write your handling logic here.
		responses.append(msg)
		
	client._msg_handler = my_msg_handler  # normally this is set in the ApiClient constructor
	
	client.send_message(order)
