Before you send any order, pull your balance, or fetch candles, you need to deal with the most annoying part of automating Quotex: connecting and logging in. The unofficial pyquotex library does this over WebSocket, but the pyquotex login is where 80% of people get stuck — expired sessions, 2FA, SSL, and region blocks. This guide shows, honestly, how connect() works, what usually breaks, and how to test everything on a demo account before risking real money.

What pyquotex Is (and What It Is NOT)

pyquotex is an open-source, community-built library that talks to Quotex’s server over the same WebSocket channel the browser uses. It is not an official API, it is not endorsed by the broker, and it can stop working at any moment if Quotex changes its protocol. Treat it as a study tool, not production infrastructure.

Important: Quotex does not publish API documentation and, at various points, discourages automation. Using pyquotex may violate the platform’s terms of use and, in the worst case, lead to an account ban. Always start on a demo account.

Installation and Prerequisites

You need Python 3.8+ and the WebSocket/SSL dependencies. The typical installation (from the community repository) looks like this:

git clone https://github.com/cleitonleonel/pyquotex.git cd pyquotex pip install -r requirements.txt # or, in some published versions: pip install pyquotex

If you’re on Windows, also install updated certificates (pip install certifi), because most Quotex login errors are actually SSL/certificate errors — not a wrong password.

Connecting and Logging In: the Minimal Code

The basic flow creates a client with an email and password and calls connect(). This method returns a (status, message) tuple that you must check before continuing:

import asyncio from pyquotex.stable_api import Quotex async def main(): cliente = Quotex( email=”your_email@example.com”, password=”your_password”, lang=”pt”, # session language ) # connects via WebSocket and authenticates ok, motivo = await cliente.connect() print(“Connected?”, ok, “|”, motivo) if not ok: print(“Login failed. See the reason above.”) return # switch to the DEMO account before anything else cliente.change_account(“PRACTICE”) saldo = await cliente.get_balance() print(“Balance (demo):”, saldo) cliente.close() asyncio.run(main())
Golden tip: always call change_account("PRACTICE") right after connecting. That way, any order test lands on the demo account, not the real one. Only switch to "REAL" once you’re absolutely sure what your code does.

Session, Cookies, and 2FA

On the first login, Quotex may ask for email verification or a code (2FA). pyquotex usually saves the session to a local file (for example session.json) so it doesn’t have to log in from scratch every time. This is good for avoiding bans from too many attempts, but it means that if the session expires, you’ll see an authentication error even with the correct password.

When that happens, delete the session file and run it again, paying attention to the verification email:

# forces a fresh login by clearing the saved session rm session.json # Linux/Mac del session.json # Windows # then run the script again and confirm the code sent to your email

Most Common pyquotex Login Errors (and How to Fix Them)

Almost every “I can’t log in to pyquotex” problem falls into one of these four groups:

1. SSL / certificate: SSLError or CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED. Update certifi and Python.
2. Expired session: login “fails” even with the correct password — delete session.json.
3. Region/IP block: Quotex restricts some countries; on a foreign VPS it may not connect.
4. WebSocket closes on its own: usually an outdated version of the library; update from the repository.

If the error persists, enable logging to see the server’s actual message instead of guessing:

import logging logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

FAQ

Is pyquotex safe? Technically it just repeats what the browser does, but you’re handing your email and password to a third-party codebase. Use a test account and never reuse important passwords.

Can I automate the real account? You can, but it’s risky: the protocol changes without notice and the broker may ban automated accounts. Validate everything on demo for weeks before even thinking about real money.

Why does my login work one day and not the next? It’s almost always an expired session or an update on Quotex’s side. Keep the library updated and clear the session when it gets stuck.

Do I need to know Python for this? Yes. Without understanding async/await and error handling, you’ll struggle a lot. Start small: connect, get the balance, and only then move forward.
