Some markets cannot be subcribed with lightstreamer


andreas16

Question

Hello,

when I look with the Rest API for instance at the market IX.D.XINHUA.IFM.IP, I get in the reply a field with the value "streamingPricesAvailable": true.

{
    "instrument": {
        "epic": "IX.D.XINHUA.IFM.IP",
        ...
        "streamingPricesAvailable": true,
        ....
    }

}

Now I try to connect this market with the lightstreamer companion on https://labs.ig.com/sample-apps/streaming-companion/index.html

But all I get when I want to connect the lightstreamer chart tick to this market is the reply

Quote

Subscription failed: -1 message: Instrument not redistributable

 

Is this the expected behaviour? What does the field streamingPricesAvailable mean? I was under the impression that this markets can be connected to via lightstreamer. Is there another API to get market prices via API for this markets?

Thanks for any help

Andreas

It looks like there is a problem with the IG API streaming service at the moment. My Excel Add-in, which has been working fine for years, has suddenly stopped streaming prices.

I receive either the "Instrument not redistributable" messages (for instruments that have streamed fine in the past) or there is a connection error.

I will also email API support.

    • This is a great answer... Oddly, this is the process i went through and "Trailing" wasn't an option. After looking again, it is now there and working. Thank you.
