# terminal_info

Get the connected MetaTrader 5 client terminal status and settings.

```
terminal_info()

```

Return Value

Return info in the form of a named tuple structure (namedtuple). Return None in case of an error. The info on the error can be obtained using [last_error()](/en/docs/python_metatrader5/mt5lasterror_py).

Note

The function returns all data that can be obtained using [TerminalInfoInteger](/en/docs/check/terminalinfointeger), [TerminalInfoDouble](/en/docs/check/terminalinfodouble) and [TerminalInfoDouble](/en/docs/check/terminalinfodouble) in one call.

Example:

```
import MetaTrader5 as mt5
import pandas as pd
# display data on the MetaTrader 5 package
print("MetaTrader5 package author: ",mt5.__author__)
print("MetaTrader5 package version: ",mt5.__version__)
# display data on the MetaTrader 5 package
print("MetaTrader5 package author: ",mt5.__author__)
print("MetaTrader5 package version: ",mt5.__version__)
 
# establish connection to the MetaTrader 5 terminal
if not mt5.initialize():
    print("initialize() failed, error code =",mt5.last_error())
    quit()
 
# display data on MetaTrader 5 version
print(mt5.version())
# display info on the terminal settings and status
terminal_info=mt5.terminal_info()
if terminal_info!=None:
    # display the terminal data 'as is'
    print(terminal_info)
    # display data in the form of a list
    print("Show terminal_info()._asdict():")
    terminal_info_dict = mt5.terminal_info()._asdict()
    for prop in terminal_info_dict:
        print("  {}={}".format(prop, terminal_info_dict[prop]))
    print()
   # convert the dictionary into DataFrame and print
    df=pd.DataFrame(list(terminal_info_dict.items()),columns=['property','value'])
    print("terminal_info() as dataframe:")
    print(df)
 
# shut down connection to the MetaTrader 5 terminal
mt5.shutdown()
