If you searched for “Quotex API” expecting to find official documentation, a REST endpoint and an access key like at a regulated broker, the short answer is: there is no official public Quotex API. That does not mean automation is impossible — it means you need to understand exactly what exists, what is unofficial and which risks each path carries before writing a single line of code. This guide explains everything honestly, without promising easy money.

See the Quotex API in Python guide →Does Quotex have an official API? The straight answer
No. As of 2026, Quotex does not publish an official API for developers, does not provide public endpoint documentation, nor an official programmatic-access program for retail clients. Unlike brokers such as Deriv — which maintains a documented, open WebSocket API — Quotex operates as a binary options platform with a web interface and an app, with no official support for automation.
What actually exists: unofficial libraries
The developer community has created libraries that connect to Quotex by mimicking the browser’s behavior. The best known is pyquotex, an open-source Python package that establishes a WebSocket connection with Quotex’s servers, logs in with the user’s credentials and exposes methods to read quotes, open trades and check results.
Does it work? In many cases, yes — but with important caveats. Because it is not official, any change to Quotex’s front end or internal protocols can break the library overnight. It is common to see projects like this go weeks without working until someone in the community patches the code.
The risks nobody tells you about
Before automating with an unofficial library, honestly consider what you are accepting:
Automating “for real”: more solid alternatives
If your real goal is to build a trading bot on solid technical foundations, it is worth considering platforms that offer an official, documented API. Deriv, for example, provides a public WebSocket API, with a test environment and access tokens — which makes development far more predictable and legitimate. You can read price history, send proposals and track results without depending on reverse engineering.
That does not turn trading into something risk-free, but it removes the extra layer of fragility and illegitimacy that comes with unofficial libraries. For anyone who wants to learn automation seriously, starting with an official API is the healthiest path.
Frequently asked questions
Will Quotex launch an official API?
There is no official announcement about this as of 2026. We treat everything that exists today as unofficial.
Is pyquotex safe?
It is open source, so you can audit it. But the risk is not only in the code: it is in using unauthorized access and exposing credentials. Use a demo account and never sensitive data.
Can I make guaranteed money by automating Quotex?
No. No bot guarantees profit. Automation executes rules — if the strategy has no statistical edge, the bot just repeats losses faster.
Can I test without risking money?
Yes, and you should. Always use the practice (demo) account to validate any connection or logic before even thinking about real money.
