Error handling

Common way to catch errors from MetaApi is listening to the processingError event. The event will be emitted by MetaApi server in case of API error.

Error scheme: WebSocketError.

ValidationError

The ValidationError error means error of incoming data in the request. Check the validity of the request data or read the error message, where it is indicated exactly where the error.

NotFoundError

The NotFoundError error means that the requested resource was not found. Probably the resource id that you are requesting is incorrect.

NotSynchronizedError

The NotSynchronizedError error code means that the requested data has not yet been synchronized with the terminal. Try to make a request after a while, so that the data has time to synchronize. If your application uses streaming API, then make sure that synchronization was indeed started. See Synchronize request for more information.

NotAuthenticatedError

A NotAuthenticatedError error occurs when synchronize is requested before the terminal has been connected to the application. Wait for the synchronization event with the authenticated type to appear and try again.

TradeError

This error means that a trading error has occurred on the server. Fix the error reason and retry the trade. More information about error can be retrieved from numericCode and stringCode fields (see www.mql5.com and book.mql4.com for full list of possible error codes).

InternalError

This error means that an unexpected error has occurred on the server. Retry the request later or contact support.
