List Live Algorithms
Request
Request body to obtain a list of live running algorithms. The /live/list
API accepts requests in the following format:
ListLiveAlgorithmsRequest Model - Request for a list of live running algorithms. | |

status | string Enum States of a live deployment. Options : ['DeployError', 'InQueue', 'Running', 'Stopped', 'Liquidated', 'Deleted', 'Completed', 'RuntimeError', 'Invalid', 'LoggingIn', 'Initializing', 'History'] |
start | number Earliest launched time of the algorithms in UNIX timestamp. |
end | number Latest launched time of the algorithms in UNIX timestamp. |
Example |
{ "status": "DeployError", "start": 1717801200, "end": 171851200 } |

---|---|
live | LiveAlgorithm Array Algorithm list matching the requested status. |
success | boolean Indicate if the API request was successful. |
errors | string Array List of errors with the API call. |

LiveAlgorithm Model - Live algorithm instance result from the QuantConnect Rest API. | |
---|---|
projectId | integer Project Id for the live instance. |
deployId | string Unique live algorithm deployment identifier (similar to a backtest id). |
status | string Enum States of a live deployment. Options : ['DeployError', 'InQueue', 'Running', 'Stopped', 'Liquidated', 'Deleted', 'Completed', 'RuntimeError', 'Invalid', 'LoggingIn', 'Initializing', 'History'] |
launched | string($date-time) Datetime the algorithm was launched in UTC. |
stopped | string($date-time) Datetime the algorithm was stopped in UTC, null if its still running. |
brokerage | string Enum Brokerage. Options : ['Interactive', 'FXCM', 'Oanda', 'Tradier', 'PaperBrokerage', 'Alpaca', 'Bitfinex', 'Binance', 'Coinbase'] |
subscription | string Chart we're subscribed to. |
error | string Live algorithm error message from a crash or algorithm runtime error. |
success | boolean Indicate if the API request was successful. |
errors | string Array List of errors with the API call. |
Example |
{ "projectId": 23456789, "deployId": "L-sdf86b7045bb83203e79d2aa6150b321", "status": "DeployError", "launched": "2021-11-26T15:18:27.693Z", "stopped": "2021-11-26T15:18:27.693Z", "brokerage": "Interactive", "subscription": "string", "error": "string", "success": true, "errors": [ "string" ] } |
401 Authentication Error
UnauthorizedError Model - Unauthorized response from the API. Key is missing, invalid, or timestamp is too old for hash. | |
---|---|
www_authenticate | string Header |
