Handling Async API Responses

[roark240]

1. Hi all,
2. I am working on a project for automated trading, and we are looking to integrate Lime API.
3. Our existing strategy code is in python, and requires synchronous api calls. Lime's API is in C++, and is largely asynchronous. We plan to use boost.python as a wrapper for the C++ code, and to use promises (std::future) to handle the async. Is this a good approach? If not, what are some recommended alternatives?

This is one the most famous libraries for another broker. The author handles async responses there.

They seem to be using asyncio.

Can you apply a call back to the api? Or check the status change of the api’s return.

Don’t they have FIX api as well?
