API Share Prices

[fxtrading]

Quick question: why I can't get stock current prices (e.g. UC.D.NFLX.CASH.IP - Netflix etc.) in API (REST/LiveStreamer)? FX/IND works normally.

Thank you.

I found:
At present we don't offer access to Equities via the API, due to restrictions put in place by our data vendors. We're working to see if we can get this changed, but it's not likely in the near future.

So I can see it in UI trading console, but why no in API?

Useless. Good luck! Closing account.

Facing the same issue, i'd be interested to know which broker you switched to?

You can get share prices, well at least for spread bet and CFD accounts, via the REST API (not streaming). I think the text you quoted is for share accounts.

I have just tried UC.D.NFLX.CASH.IP and I can query the bid/offer via the API.

I use the API for my Excel Add-in and that also works fine for retrieving stock prices into Excel.

I can't get the price. The same error: Exception: unauthorised.access.to.equity.exception for all possible combinations. Even if you open trade to e.. Tesla, you can't see any detail from REST.

open_positions:
{'contractSize':1.0,'createdDate':'2020/06/1217:58:38:000','dealId':'DIAAAADXBUE4MAL','dealSize':1.0,'direction':'BUY','limitLevel':None,'openLevel':941.0,'currency':'USD','controlledRisk':False,'stopLevel':None,'trailingStep':None,'trailingStopDistance':None,'limitedRiskPremium':None}

Probably Interactive Brokers or paid service (https://iexcloud.io/console) is the solution. 

No difference if DEMO/LIVE account.

Someone who actually trading Shares via REST?
