Send and receive data via HTTP requests by use the WebRequest function to a WEB/API server.

Hi everyone,

I have been using CPEA for a long time and I have developed a statistical data analysis system that I currently use manually alongside the Expert. I often go to change some parameters while it works to improve its operation. Would it be possible to do this automatically by enabling the expert to send and receive data via HTTP requests? you could use the WebRequest function to a WEB/API server. This is done through the MT5 settings, adding the URL to the permission list.

1-The EA sends a request to the API to get the initial or updated parameters.

2-The API receives the request, processes the necessary logic (for example, retrieves the updated parameters from the database), and prepares a response.

3-The API sends a response to the EA, which may include the updated parameters or other relevant information.

The EA receives the response and updates its parameters accordingly, changing its behavior based on the new data.

I think it's a great evolution to be able to make it truly universal.

The WebRequest function in MQL5 is a powerful tool that allows Expert Advisors (EAs) and indicators to send and receive information from external web servers. This can be particularly useful for obtaining real-time data, sending trading signals, retrieving updates on EA parameters remotely, and much more.
