Quickstart to Deriv API
On this page, you'll find code samples in various programming languages showing you how to work with the Deriv API to perform some of the most important operations.
You can find all of the other available calls in the API Explorer.
Before you begin
- Open a Deriv account (either a demo or real account).
- Create a new token using the admin scope.
- Register your app to receive your app_id or use app_id 1089 to test Deriv API.
Setting up your environment
Instructions for setting up your environment and running the examples in your desired programming language are given as comments in the code samples.
Buy contract
A contract is an agreement to buy or sell an asset at an agreed-upon price. This example shows you how to buy a contract using Deriv API.
/* * This is an example of using JavaScript with NodeJS to buy a contract via the Deriv/Binary API. * This is a simple example where we do not check first if the user has the * symbol available to buy. To check this you would use the active_symbols call. * To run this example using NodeJS * - Ensure you have NodeJs installed (https://nodejs.org/). * - Save this script to a directory on your computer as `buy_contract.js`. * - Run `npm install ws` to install the websocket library. * - Edit the example and change the app_id and the API token. * - Then run `node buy_contract.js`. * * The api token should be from the same account that the contract is to be purchased for. */ const WebSocket = require('ws'); // You can register for an app_id here https://developers.deriv.com/docs/app-registration/. const app_id = 1089; // Replace with your app_id or leave as 1089 for testing. const ws = new WebSocket('wss://ws.binaryws.com/websockets/v3?app_id=' + app_id); // You can get your token here https://app.deriv.com/account/api-token. const token = ''; // Replace with your API token. ws.onopen = function (evt) { ws.send(JSON.stringify({ "authorize": token })) // First send an authorize call. }; ws.onmessage = function (msg) { var data = JSON.parse(msg.data); // console.log('Response: %o', data); // Uncomment this to see full response data. if (data.error !== undefined) { console.log(data.error.message); ws.close(); } else if (data.msg_type == 'authorize') { /* * Since we can not ensure calls to websocket are made in order we must wait for * the response to the authorize call before sending the buy request. */ ws.send(JSON.stringify({ "buy": 1, "subscribe": 1, "price": 10, "parameters": { "amount": 10, "basis": "stake", "contract_type": "CALL", "currency": "USD", "duration": 1, "duration_unit": "m", "symbol": "R_10" } })); } else if (data.msg_type == 'buy') { // Our buy request was successful let's print the results. console.log("Contract Id " + data.buy.contract_id + "\n"); console.log("Details " + data.buy.longcode + "\n"); } else if (data.msg_type == 'proposal_open_contract') { // Because we subscribed to the buy request we will receive updates on our open contract. var isSold = data.proposal_open_contract.is_sold; if (isSold) { // If `isSold` is true it means our contract has finished and we can see if we won or not. console.log("Contract " + data.proposal_open_contract.status + "\n"); console.log("Profit " + data.proposal_open_contract.profit + "\n"); ws.close(); } else { // We can track the status of our contract as updates to the spot price occur. var currentSpot = data.proposal_open_contract.current_spot; var entrySpot = 0; if (typeof (data.proposal_open_contract.entry_tick) != 'undefined') { entrySpot = data.proposal_open_contract.entry_tick; } console.log("Entry spot " + entrySpot + "\n"); console.log("Current spot " + currentSpot + "\n"); console.log("Difference " + (currentSpot - entrySpot) + "\n"); } } };
