Hi QuantConnectors'
I am quite new to QuantConnect.
What I am looking to do is to allow my algorithm to communicte with external softare (say MQTT or RabbitMQ) to allow for my external software to monitor and possibly provide parameters.
Is this possible?
Kind regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Welcome to QC!
Let's wait for the QC staff to answer this question but allowing communications from internal servers to the outside world is potentially a security issue.
Good luck.
Http requests as well as plain sockets work for this (at least in C#). Just be careful what you upload to not breach terms of use.
Thank you
Does anybody have any example code doing this (especially in pyton)?
Andrew Cardno you can download signals/parameters from an external source to seed a universe or start your algorithm but not upload signals/state. If you use the REST API you can get the state of an algorithm from the API. I'm not sure we have a python example but will see what we can do to get one for you.

Thank you Jared,
I understand that the algorithm can read from an external API.
I can work with c# code as well (altho I am Python not C# programmer).
Kind regards
Andrew
