Hello -- I'm wondering if QuantConnect is able to accept webhooks from TradingView to inform an entry or exit of a position. If so, are there any examples?

Hi Maurice,
For security reasons, Algorithms cannot accept webhooks as they use POST Requests (thread). However, you may be able to get the data into a format for one of our Custom Data formats. Furthermore, users who run Lean locally have no security restrictions.

hi! So, if there is no restriction about that in Lean CLI, how then webhooks from e.g. Tradingview can be accepted in QC? Is there any example code available for this?
And can in Lean CLI webhooks also be sent as GET not only POST commands?
Another problem in the past was that authentication was not included in the webhook command. Is this solved in the meantime?? many thanks!

Hi Carpediem911,
When developing locally, we don't need to need to use Notify.Webhook necessarily. We would have to add the code to make API requests directly in the algorithm
