我正在使用它URL从 Quandl 网站获取一些内容:

https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/FRED/PAYEMS.csv?exclude_column_names=true&rows=1&api_key=my_api_key

Quandl 服务器响应上述请求返回如下值:

2016-08-01, 144598.0

我需要使用 in 的值所以:144598.0MQL4 Script

Q1。如何从上面的 URL 中获取要在MQL4脚本中使用的内容?

来自 SO ( https://stackoverflow.com/users/3666197/user3666197) 的一位非常有帮助的用户提供了以下内容script(原始发现于MQL4:从 CSV 读取单个值)(我自己添加了几个部分)来帮助我实现这一点,但是,我无法让它工作:

我已将URLof添加
https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/FRED/PAYEMS.csv
到 in 的列表allowed URLsMT4

如果我启用并将名为 ( )的名称AutoTrading拖到a of 上,我会在以下内容中收到这些消息:scripttutorial7chartUSDCAD,M1
Experts tab

  • Script tutorial7 USDCAD,M1: loaded successfuly
  • tutorial7 USDCAD,M1: initialized
  • tutorial7 USDCAD,M1: The data has been successfully loaded, size = 0 bytes
  • tutorial7 USDCAD,M1: uninit reason 0

当然如果“ The data has successfully loaded”不应该说“ size = 0 bytes”?

script如果我只是将它直接复制并粘贴到它中,MetaQuotes Language Editor这是否可以正常工作compile

除了添加URLallowed URLsinMT4并将此代码复制并粘贴到 a之外script,还有什么我必须做的吗?

如果是这样,怎么做?

我正在运行上面的代码,而Script 不是Expert Advisor; 这个可以吗?

Q2。我可以将获取的 144598.0 值设置为脚本中的变量吗?

我需要制作一个变量value144598.0以便可以将它与另一个进行比较value

像这样的工作:

void OnStart()
{

... // above code which fetches the value from the .csv URL

double x = 155876.0     // value manually typed in
       y = 144598.0     // value fetched from the .csv URL using the above code
                        // ignores column 1 consisting of 2016-08-01
   if ( x > y ) {
                        // execute code
} 

else { 
                        // execute other code
}

}

A2:是的!这是旅途中最简单的部分。
A1:但!
它在实践中如何运作?
实际上如何MetaTrader Terminal与 Quandl 交谈,以便得到它?

让我首先说明远程HttpServer处理的问题。

有一个易于原型化的程序curl(提供 Linux 和 DOS 版本),它将在终端窗口(或 Windowscmd窗口)内显示HttpServerQuandl 的远程如何响应本地组装请求的各种组合,通过 HTTP 协议进行通信。

请注意,刚刚重新键入的 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 plain 添加更多参数URL,远程端 ( the 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

酷,看起来很棒,几乎是我们想要的单一价值!

但神奇的地方来了。

本地进程(现在,但稍后是 MetaTrader 终端)之间的真正交换(对话)curl看起来是这样的(使用命令行中的--verbose选项curl):

C:\>curl --verbose -G --data rows=1 --data exclude_column_names=true https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/FRED/PAYEMS.csv

注意行GET /api/v3/datasets/FRED/PAYEMS.csv?rows=1&exclude_column_names=true

因此,魔术是让 MetaTrader 终端组装相同,同时允许配置中允许列表中的 URL(您已经在另一篇文章中完成)。

也可能已经注意到,HTTP GET发送只是<HttpServer_relative_part_of_the.URL>


神奇之处在于让MQL4代码发送与上面看到的相同的请求并取回数据。

WebRequest()必须使用HTTP GET,因为 QuandlHttpServer不响应HTTP POST同一请求示例的版本,返回 0 字节(只需省略上面示例中的-G开关curl)。

一次满足所有条件应导致接收2016-08-01,144598.0和使用:

int    anAmountOfBytesRECVd   = 0;          // how many bytes Quandl sent 
string headers_FromHttpSERVER;              // stores as a string
char   anAnswerFromHttpSERVER[];            // stores as a byte-array ( char[] )
double y_value = NULL;

anAmountOfBytesRECVd = WebRequest( "GET",   // MUST use HTTP GET <- Quandl tested
                                    ...
                                    anAnswerFromHttpSERVER,
                                    headers_FromHttpSERVER
                                    );

y_value = StrToDouble( CharArrayToString( anAnserFromHttpSERVER, // [2|0|1|6|-|0|8|-|0|1|,|1|4|4|5|98|.|0]
                                          11,                    //-----------------------^_______________( -1 == TILL EndOfSTRING )
                                          -1
                                          )
                       );
