# Custom Code Examples ## Custom Code In addition to sending webhooks from third parties, you can send webhooks to TradersPost from custom code using programming languages like [PHP](https://php.net) or [Python](https://www.python.org). Here is an example using [PHP](https://php.net) and the [Symfony HTTP Client](https://symfony.com/doc/current/http_client.html). This example uses [PHP](https://www.php.net/) and the [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) package manager. First create a new directory to work inside of. ```bash mkdir traderspost cd traderspost ``` Now require the `symfony/http-client` package using composer. ``` composer require symfony/http-client ``` Now you are ready to create a file named `traderspost-test.php` and paste the following code inside of the file. ```php request('POST', $webhookUrl, [ 'json' => [ 'ticker' => 'AMD', 'action' => 'buy', 'price' => 85.50, ] ]); echo $response->getContent(); ``` Now you are ready to send the webhook to TradersPost! ```bash php traderspost-test.php {"success":true,"id":"cd481b19-9bb7-4845-8227-523203971d47","payload":{"ticker":"AMD","action":"buy","price":85.50}} ``` This is a simple example, but you can combine this with a service like [Polygon.io](https://polygon.io) to get live real-time market data and build your own completely custom trading strategies and TradersPost can handle the integrations with your broker. ## cURL ```bash curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \ -d '{"ticker": "AMD", "action": "buy", "price": 85.50}' \ -X POST https://webhooks.traderspost.io/trading/webhook/8c9d9620-c50d-416e-926e-0ec01ee83522/a353c3e16f9e3ded7c58cfedd2c38d74 ``` ## PHP ```bash composer require symfony/http-client ``` ```php request('POST', $webhookUrl, [ 'json' => [ 'ticker' => 'AMD', 'action' => 'buy', 'price' => 85.50, ] ]); echo $response->getContent(); ``` ## Python ```python import requests r = requests.post( 'https://webhooks.traderspost.io/trading/webhook/8c9d9620-c50d-416e-926e-0ec01ee83522/a353c3e16f9e3ded7c58cfedd2c38d74', json={"ticker": "AMD", "action": "buy", "price": 85.50} ) print(r.json()) ``` ## Ruby ```ruby require 'net/http' require 'uri' require 'json' uri = URI.parse('https://webhooks.traderspost.io/trading/webhook/8c9d9620-c50d-416e-926e-0ec01ee83522/a353c3e16f9e3ded7c58cfedd2c38d74') header = {'Content-Type': 'text/json'} signal = { ticker: 'AMD', action: 'buy', price: 85.50 } http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port) request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.request_uri, header) request.body = signal.to_json response = http.request(request) puts response.body ``` ## JavaScript ```javascript fetch('https://webhooks.traderspost.io/trading/webhook/8c9d9620-c50d-416e-926e-0ec01ee83522/a353c3e16f9e3ded7c58cfedd2c38d74', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ ticker: 'AMD', action: 'buy', price: 85.50 }) }) .then(response => response.json()) .then(data => console.log(data)) .catch(error => console.error(error)); ``` ## Go ```go package main import ( "bytes" "encoding/json" "fmt" "net/http" ) func main() { url := "https://webhooks.traderspost.io/trading/webhook/8c9d9620-c50d-416e-926e-0ec01ee83522/a353c3e16f9e3ded7c58cfedd2c38d74" data := map[string]interface{}{ "ticker": "AMD", "action": "buy", "price": 85.50, } jsonData, err := json.Marshal(data) if err != nil { panic(err) } req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", url, bytes.NewBuffer(jsonData)) if err != nil { panic(err) } req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json") client := &http.Client{} resp, err := client.Do(req) if err != nil { panic(err) } defer resp.Body.Close() var result map[string]interface{} err = json.NewDecoder(resp.Body).Decode(&result) if err != nil { panic(err) } fmt.Println(result) } ``` ## C++ ```cpp #include #include int main() { CURL *curl; CURLcode res; curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL); curl = curl_easy_init(); if (curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://traderspost.io/trading/webhook/8c9d9620-c50d-416e-926e-0ec01ee83522/a353c3e16f9e3ded7c58cfedd2c38d74"); struct curl_slist *headers = NULL; headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Content-Type: application/json"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers); const char *json_data = "{\"ticker\": \"AMD\", \"action\": \"buy\", \"price\": 85.50}"; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_data); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); if (res != CURLE_OK) { std::cerr << "curl_easy_perform() failed: " << curl_easy_strerror(res) << std::endl; } curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } curl_global_cleanup(); return 0; } ``` ## C\#
