How to Get Your Quotex SSID Token

The SSID (Session ID) is required to authenticate with the Quotex WebSocket API. Here's how to obtain it:

Method 1: From Browser (Recommended)

  1. Open Quotex in your browser

  2. Open Browser Developer Tools

    • Press F12 or right-click and select "Inspect"
    • Go to the Application tab (Chrome) or Storage tab (Firefox)

  3. Find the SSID Cookie

    • In the left sidebar, expand Cookies
    • Click on https://qxbroker.com
    • Look for a cookie named ssid
    • Copy the Value (should be a long alphanumeric string)

  4. Example SSID Format

Method 2: From Network Tab

  1. Open Developer Tools (F12)
  2. Go to Network tab
  3. Refresh the page or perform any action
  4. Look for WebSocket connections (filter by WS)
  5. Check the connection URL - it may include ssid=... parameter
  6. Copy just the SSID value

Method 3: Programmatic Login (Future)

In the future, the API will support email/password login which will automatically obtain and manage the SSID for you:

from QuotexAPI import QuotexAPI

api = QuotexAPI()
await api.connect()
await api.login_with_email("your@email.com", "your_password")
# SSID will be automatically obtained and used

Using the SSID

Environment Variable (Recommended)

export QUOTEX_SSID='your_ssid_token_here'
python examples/get_balance.py

Programmatically

from QuotexAPI import QuotexAPI

api = QuotexAPI(ssid="your_ssid_token_here")
await api.connect()

In Examples

import os
from QuotexAPI import QuotexAPI

ssid = os.getenv("QUOTEX_SSID")
api = QuotexAPI()
await api.connect(ssid=ssid)

Important Notes

  1. SSID Expiration: SSID tokens expire after some time (usually hours/days). You'll need to get a new one when it expires.

  2. Security: Never commit your SSID to version control. Always use environment variables or secure configuration.

  3. Format: The SSID should be ONLY the token value, NOT the full Socket.IO authorization message.

    • ✅ Correct: dJzhzzKSR6N4Lr5OvTFuvcGLCfyDjtdbNDMScXcH
    • ❌ Wrong: 42["authorization",{"session":"dJzh...","isDemo":1}]

  4. Testing: After obtaining an SSID, test it quickly as it may expire if not used.

Troubleshooting

HTTP 403 Error

  • SSID is missing or invalid
  • SSID format is incorrect
  • Solution: Get a fresh SSID from your browser

HTTP 502 Error

  • SSID may be expired
  • Quotex server might be temporarily down
  • Solution: Try getting a fresh SSID or wait a few minutes

"Not authenticated" errors

  • SSID is valid but not yet authorized
  • Solution: Make sure to call login_with_ssid() after connecting

Security Best Practices

  1. Store SSID in environment variables
  2. Don't share your SSID with anyone
  3. Don't commit SSID to git repositories
  4. Rotate SSID regularly for security
  5. Use .env file for local development (add to .gitignore)
# .env file
QUOTEX_SSID=your_ssid_token_here
# Load from .env
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
