Demo API not working

[andysinclair]

I'm seeing problems with the Demo API in fact I can't even logon, either through my own application or on the API Companion.

I have reset my username and password and created a new API Key, all to no avail.

I suspect the demo systems is experiencing some sort of outage, can somebody from IG check please?

Demo API does not work. I had to share my live API and live login details account to a developer for him to complete the work.  Live API works well.

There seems to be some issues- I can login but  post the 200 connection you get system error 500. Picked up similar thread with other users- hope they resolve soon

I have the same problem, not only with the demo system but also with the live account. I can reproduce it easily with the IG API Companion:
  - Login
  - GET session details (repeatedly click on GET, with e.g. 10sec pause in between)
about 50% of the calls to get session details will fail with a 500 error, the other 50% will work fine

Sometimes it does go down, Around market closing times mainly but I suspect they use it as a test platform when developing software etc.
