rest-csharp-refimpl

Reference implementation of the OANDA REST API in C#

Refer to developer.oanda.com for full details and documentation of the API

Overview

This solution contains three projects:

1. OANDARestLibrary

• This is the central library or wrapper for the API

2. ConsoleTest

• Console based test library that runs through many useful scenarios with the rest library
• If you're looking for how to do something (eg. modify a trade, stream rates, delete a position) this is a good place to start

3. TradingApp2

• Windows 8 App demonstrating some of the functionality of the API in a visual application
• Also demonstrates the client side OAuth flow

How to get started

• Open the solution in visual studio (developed with VS2012 pro, but more recent versions should work)

• Set TradingApp2 as the startup project

• Run

• When prompted, login with your practice account

• Set ConsoleTest as the startup project

• Edit RestTest.cs, search for SetCredentials, and input your credentials for it to use

• Note: This test sequence will automatically place trades using the specified credentials

• Run

OANDARestLibrary Overview

• Primary file is Rest.cs
• This is (nearly) the only file you should need to call into directly
• Contains functions for all actions that can be taken with the API
• Automatically refers to Credentials for access information (see below)
• Credentials.cs
• Used to set the credentials for the library to use (SetCredentials)
• Stores the server information for all the API environments
• Framework
• Some supporting framework classes
• TradeLibrary
• RatesSession - used to create a new streaming rates session
• EventsSession - used to create a new streaming events session
• DataTypes - various data types used for representing the data returned from the API
• DataTypes\Communications - extra classes used for communicating to and from the API, mostly just for the internal use of the library
