Sending message by GET http method

[ccruells]

Hi.

I would like to send messages from a strategy to a Telegram Bot and I don´t know what function in Ninjascript must I use in order to make a http GET method (with an URL).

Example:

https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/sendMessage?chat_id=@channelusername&text=This+is+ a+test.

Could you tell me which C# function must I use in Ninjascript?

Thank you.
Regards.

Hello ccruells,

This would be outside of what is supported by NinjaTrader.

However, I would recommend you look into the WebClient class of C#.

In terms of performance the HttpWebRequest class is a bit faster and adds a bit more functionality than WebClient

string result = string.Empty;
string url = @"https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/sendMessage?chat_id=@channelusername&text=This+is+ a+test.";

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip;

using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
    result = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
