我正在使用 URL
从Quandl网站上获取一些内容:
https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/FRED/PAYEMS.csv?exclude_column_names=true&rows=1&api_key=my_api_key
Quandl服务器返回以响应上述请求的值:
2016-08-01, 144598.0
我需要在144598.0
MQL4
中使用 Script
的值, :
Q1。如何从上面的URL中获取内容以在MQL4
脚本中使用?
来自SO(https://stackoverflow.com/users/3666197/user3666197
)的一位非常有用的用户提供了以下script
(MQL4: Read single value from CSV的原文)(我自己添加了几个部分)来帮助我实现这一目标, ,我无法让它发挥作用:

string aDataSOURCE_URL = "https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/FRED/PAYEMS.csv";
string aDataSOURCE_API = "?exclude_column_names=true&rows=1&api_key=my_api_key";
//-- Create the body of the POST request for API specifications and API-authorization
ArrayResize( post,
StringToCharArray( aDataSOURCE_API, // string text |--> [in] String to copy.
post, // uchar &array[] <--| [out] Array of uchar type.

WHOLE_ARRAY, // int count = -1 |--> [in] Number of array elements to copy. Defines length of a resulting string. Default value is -1, which means copying up to the array end, or till terminating '\0'. Terminating zero will also be copied to the recipient array, in this case the size of a dynamic array can be increased if necessary to the size of the string. If the size of the dynamic array exceeds the length of the string, the size of the array will not be reduced.
CP_UTF8 // uint cp = CP_ACP |--> [in] The value of the code page. For the most-used code pages provide appropriate constants.

//-- parse the content ---------------------------------------

我已将URL
的{{1}}添加到https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/FRED/PAYEMS.csv
的{{1}}列表中。
如果我启用allowed URLs
并将名为(MT4
)的AutoTrading
拖至script
tutorial7
,我会得到chart
USDCAD,M1
中的这些消息:
Experts
tab
Script tutorial7 USDCAD,M1: loaded successfuly
tutorial7 USDCAD,M1: initialized
当然,如果&#34; tutorial7 USDCAD,M1: The data has been successfully loaded, size = 0 bytes
&#34;它不应该说&#34; tutorial7 USDCAD,M1: uninit reason 0
&#34;?
如果我将The data has successfully loaded
直接复制并粘贴到size = 0 bytes
和script
,这个MetaQuotes Language Editor
是否正常工作?
除了将compile
添加到URL
中的allowed URLs
并将此代码复制并粘贴到MT4
之外,还有什么我必须做的吗?
若然,怎么样?
我将上述代码作为script
而不是和Script
运行;这没关系吗?
Q2。我可以将获取的值144598.0设置为我脚本中的变量吗?
我需要将Expert Advisor
value
作为变量,以便将其与另一个144598.0
进行比较。
这样的事情会起作用吗?
value
答案 0 :(得分:1)
A2:
是的! 这是旅程中最简单的部分。 A1:
但是!如何在实践中发挥作用?首先让我说明远程HttpServer
- 侧处理的问题。
有一个简单的原型程序 curl
(可用的Linux和DOS版本)将显示在终端窗口(或Windows cmd
内窗口)Quandl上的远程HttpServer
如何响应通过HTTP协议传送的本地组合请求的各种组合。
请注意,刚刚重新输入的URL会生成要传递的整个历史记录。
C:\>curl https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/FRED/PAYEMS.csv
DATE,VALUE
2016-08-01,144598.0
2016-07-01,144447.0
...
..
.
1939-03-01,30280.0
1939-02-01,30101.0
1939-01-01,29923.0
一旦我们向普通URL
添加了更多参数,远程端(HttpServer
)会将回复更改为我们感兴趣的一行:
C:\>curl -G --data rows=1 --data exclude_column_names=true https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/FRED/PAYEMS.csv
2016-08-01,144598.0
但魔法来了。
本地流程(现在curl
,但稍后MetaTrader终端)之间的真实交换(对话)看起来是这样的(使用--verbose
中的 curl
选项}命令行):
C:\>curl --verbose -G --data rows=1 --data exclude_column_names=true https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/FRED/PAYEMS.csv

注意 GET /api/v3/datasets/FRED/PAYEMS.csv?rows=1&exclude_column_names=true
所以神奇的是让MetaTrader终端组装相同的东西,同时允许配置中允许列表中的URL(你已经在另一篇文章中已经完成)。
也可能已经注意到, HTTP GET
仅发送<HttpServer_relative_part_of_the.URL>
神奇的做法是让 MQL4
代码发送与上面相同的请求并获取数据。
WebRequest()
未对 HTTP GET
版本的相同的请求示例,返回0个字节(只省略上面HttpServer
示例中的HTTP POST
开关。)
一次满足所有条件应该会收到 -G
并使用:
curl
