To start-- i have zero experience using the api function here-- but trying to learn..

What im trying to accomplish is to get the community data (specifically short vs long positions and volume)... I want to pull this data into my mt4 so i can then use it.... My thinking is i can call the api url for the community outlook data (http://www.myfxbook.com/api/get-community-outlook.xml?session=DSL07vu14QxHWErTIAFrH40) and then somehow request the long and short positions and volume ..

55
44
1142.58
905.47


A. Will this work? Or is the api only for android/apple phones apps?
B. I know id use WebRequest() to call the url but how would i pull the desired info out... Or, is there a way to just request the info wanted?

Thanks...

Hi,

Yes you can do it. Probably hard to do with no experience but it is possible.

cheers
