Hello staycool3_a,
I honestly don't know anything about the Oanda API and these examples are likely not going to be helpful. These examples are pretty specific to NinjaTrader's API.
I'm sure our development knows a bit from creating a connection in the internal code of NinjaTrader but its not within our support model to share this.
That said, I will ping our developers and just ask what they are willing to provide and I'll let you know what they say.
I was able to find Oanda's documentation from a google search. I am included a public link to this 3rd party site below.
However, I'm a little confused on what you are trying to do. NinjaTrader 8 has an internal Oanda connection built into the NinjaTrader Continuum connection. If you are wanting to feed data to a strategy in NinjaTrader then you wouldn't need to directly interface with Oanda's API, you would need to be connected through the normal connection and run the strategy as you would any other strategy.
Can you clarify what you are trying to achieve?

I'm trying to access oanda's fx lab data points by connecting with API. They have bunch of cool information that i'd like to get access to and then use them within my strategies. Because ninjascript is just C, I can't imagine it being complicated.. just don't know where to start
Thanks for asking the dev team. Would be nice to have some example if they can provide on how to pull data from an API from external sources within ninjascript.
fx lab variables:
developer:
http://developer.oanda.com/rest-live...ign=forex-labs
http://developer.oanda.com/rest-live-v20/instrument-ep/
^--- this is their most updated API documentation (v20).
Below is a sample python script that i've used previously to connect with their API.
import subprocess, os, csv
import json, http.client, math, calendar, datetime, requests
from time import *
import pandas as pd
import sys
import openpyxl
from openpyxl.reader.excel import load_workbook
import oandapyV20
import oandapyV20.endpoints.forexlabs as labs
Symbol='EUR_USD'
accountID = "********************"
client = oandapyV20.API(access_token="********************* *")
params ={"instrument": Symbol,"period": 3600}
r = labs.HistoricalPositionRatios(params=params)
output = client.request(r)
position_data = output['data'][Symbol]['data']
for p in range(len(position_data)):
position_data[p][0] = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(position_data[p][0])
headers = ["timestamp", "lpr", "rate"]
df = pd.DataFrame(position_data, columns=headers)
df = df.set_index(df['timestamp'])
df = df.drop(['timestamp', 'rate'], axis=1)
df = df[:-1]
latest_value= df.tail(1)
