This directory contains utility tools for working with the PocketOption API.

This tool automatically extracts your PocketOption session ID (SSID) by monitoring WebSocket traffic during login.

SSID (Session ID) is the authentication token required to use the PocketOption API. It's a string that looks like:

42["auth",{"session":"your-session-here","isDemo":1,"uid":12345,"platform":1}]

Before running the tool, make sure you have the required dependencies installed:

pip install -r requirements.txt

The tool requires:

• selenium>=4.0.0
• webdriver-manager>=4.0.0
• Chrome browser installed on your system

1. Navigate to the tools directory:

   cd tools

2. Run the script:

   python get_ssid.py

3. Follow the on-screen instructions:

   • A Chrome browser window will open automatically
   • Navigate to the PocketOption login page
   • Log in with your credentials
   • Wait for the automatic redirection to the trading cabinet
   • The script will automatically extract and save your SSID

4. Find your SSID:

   • The SSID will be saved to a .env file in the current directory
   • You can now use this SSID in your API scripts

When successful, you'll see:

2025-12-25 10:31:45 - INFO - ================================================================================
2025-12-25 10:31:45 - INFO - SUCCESS! SSID successfully extracted and saved to .env file.

If you see this warning, try the following:

1. Run the script again - Sometimes the WebSocket connection timing can vary
2. Manual extraction method:
   • Open PocketOption in Chrome
   • Press F12 to open Developer Tools
   • Go to the "Network" tab
   • Filter by "WS" (WebSocket)
   • Log in and navigate to a trading page
   • Look for messages containing 42["auth"
   • Copy the complete message including the 42["auth",{...}] format
   • Save it to your .env file as: SSID="your-copied-message"

• Make sure Chrome is installed on your system
• The script uses webdriver-manager which automatically downloads ChromeDriver
• Check your internet connection

• Make sure all dependencies are installed: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Check the console output for specific error messages
• Try running the script with Python 3.8 or higher

Once you have your SSID, you can use it in your API scripts:

from pocketoptionapi_async import AsyncPocketOptionClient
import asyncio

async def main():
    # Load SSID from environment or paste it directly
    SSID = "42[\"auth\",{\"session\":\"...\",\"isDemo\":1,\"uid\":12345,\"platform\":1}]"
    
    client = AsyncPocketOptionClient(SSID, is_demo=True)
    await client.connect()
    
    balance = await client.get_balance()
    print(f"Balance: {balance.balance} {balance.currency}")
    
    await client.disconnect()

asyncio.run(main())

Your SSID is sensitive information that grants access to your PocketOption account. Keep it secure and never share it publicly. The .env file should be added to .gitignore to prevent accidental commits.
