Is There an API for Lime?

Yes. API2Trade is an independent REST and WebSocket API that bridges Lime MT4 and MT5 trading accounts to external applications -- it is not operated by Lime and is not a MetaTrader terminal replacement or Expert Advisor. You authenticate with your existing Lime account credentials (or an API key), and API2Trade handles the live connection to Lime's MT4/MT5 trading servers on your behalf. Once connected, you can retrieve live balance, equity, and margin data, execute or modify trades, and subscribe to real-time price and order-update streams over WebSocket -- all through standard HTTP and WebSocket calls in any programming language. No Expert Advisor, MQL code, or running MetaTrader terminal is required at any point, and setup typically takes under 30 minutes.
