Canned Links to FIXimate?

Imported from previous forum

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for a way to link to Tags, Msg Types, FIX Versions in the online FIXimate from a proprietary Log Analyzer.

Ideally one could construct links in a standardized format.
For example: http://fixprotocol.org/FIXimate3.0/search?v=4.4&msg=8

or in general terms: <fiximate_query_url>?v=<fix_version>&msg=<msg_type>&tag=<tag_number>

Does such a feature exist (and I have simply overlooked it), or would it be something worth developing, as many of us would find this beneficial?

Kind regards,

Wouldn’t that work better with FIXwiki? Check out fixwiki.fixprotocol.org. For your example below it would be http://fixwiki.fixprotocol.org/fixwiki/ExecutionReport or http://fixwiki.fixprotocol.org/fixwiki/MsgType/8_ExecutionReport
Regards,
Hanno.

Following up on what Hanno says - John Cameron made everything in FIXwiki fully accessible via URL in FIXwiki. We are in the process over the next yet to be determined time frame (some additional volunteer help would be appreciated to accelerate this) to move the FIX specification to FIXwiki as the primary reference. Always online, always up to date, ubiquitous. As you may know both FIXimate and FIXwiki are generated from the FIX Repository, available to FIX members.

FIXimate is partially accessible by version number:

To reference a FIX field you need to use the URL:

http://fixprotocol.org/FIXimate3.0/en/FIX.5.0SP2/tag1.html

Unfortunately components and messages are not directly URL accessible in FIXimate, which is frustrating, I would like to have this changed. There are a group of higher priority functional improvements ahead of this item, but your request will have an impact on raising its priority.

Jim/Hanno/John - I am happy to throw in a few voluntary hours here and there for the cause.

Hello Markus,

This sounds like something others might want to use as well.
We have created a beta version of the REST service and it’s live on our website: http://www.esprow.com/fix.php

Let us have your feedback and we will be happy to improve it as needed.
Once it is tested and feature-rich we can let the FIX community know about it.

Francesco,

Is your product an online reference created from the repository or is this a REST interface to FIX?

I ask because we have yet to define a standard REST interface for FIX. Having such a mechanism available as a standard messaging interface for FIX is highly appealing and will further the utility of FIX.

Hi Jim,

Yes, it’s just an online reference to the repo served via REST.

A standard REST interface for FIX sound interesting.
Is there anything happening in that space?
Would you like to work together on it?

Hi Marcus,

Did you have a chance to try it out?
Is this what you were looking for?
