You can try the full version of NT8 for free. Only when you want to trade live you need to buy a license. So you can easily try it out. It should be possible through IB TWS API or IB Gateway (which is just the API without TWS).

See NinjaTrader Connection Guide for Interactive Brokers

Connect NT with TWS or Gateway, select your IB account and you are good to go. Good luck.
