Webhook signals: start or stop a signal bot
A webhook signal can start a signal bot that is stopped, or stop one that is running. Only one signal bot can be started or stopped per signal.
Send these bot-action signals to https://api.altrady.com/v2/signal_bot/start_stop — a different endpoint from the position signals, which use https://api.altrady.com/v2/signal_bot_positions.
API key and secret
The api_key and api_secret must be the Altrady API key and secret for that signal bot.
General format
{
"api_key": "YOUR_ALTRADY_API_KEY",
"api_secret": "YOUR_ALTRADY_API_SECRET",
"action": "start_bot | start_and_open | stop_bot | stop_and_close"
}
Choose exactly one action.
The four actions
start_bot
The bot status changes to Running. The bot starts accepting signals.
start_and_open
The status changes to Running and a new position is opened using the settings in the signal. All settings used for an open signal can be included, and exchange and symbol (or tv_exchange and tv_ticker) plus side must be included. The bot continues to accept signals.
stop_bot
The status changes to Stopped. The signal bot only accepts the following signal actions: start_bot, start_and_open, close or increase. Any open positions remain open and continue to be managed.
stop_and_close
The status changes to Stopped and all open positions are closed at current market value. After this, the signal bot only accepts start_bot or start_and_open.
A bare start or stop signal
To simply start or stop the bot, send only the credentials and the action:
{
"api_key": "YOUR_ALTRADY_API_KEY",
"api_secret": "YOUR_ALTRADY_API_SECRET",
"action": "stop_bot"
}
