IQ Option + Python

IQ Option API with Python (iqoptionapi) — Connect, Trade and check_win

How to connect to IQ Option from Python using the community iqoptionapi library: log in, read candles, send orders and read the result with check_win_v4. Plus a free open-source bot that already wraps it all.

Open-source Python bot using iqoptionapi. Edit it by chatting with ChatGPT/Claude — no coding. Free, no spam.

Is there an official IQ Option API?

No. IQ Option has no official public API. The community uses the open-source iqoptionapi library, which talks to the same WebSocket the platform uses. It is unofficial — use a demo (practice) account and be aware of ban risk on real accounts.

Connect with Python — minimal example

# pip install iqoptionapi  (also bundled with our bot)
from iqoptionapi.stable_api import IQ_Option

api = IQ_Option("you@email.com", "yourpass")
api.connect()
api.change_balance("PRACTICE")               # always demo first
candles = api.get_candles("EURUSD", 60, 100, time.time())
ok, order_id = api.buy(1, "EURUSD", "call", 1)   # 1 = 1-minute expiry
profit = api.check_win_v4(order_id)            # result of the trade

check_win_v4 returns the trade profit (positive = win, negative = loss). It is the most reliable way to read the outcome on the current library.
