News feed and twitter feeds have stopped since 14/03/23?

IG - Why don't you place an IG alert so everyone knows about this issue!

Hi @JustinDurrant

Our web trading platform Twitter feed isn't updating, due to an API update from Twitter. Our team is working at resolving the problem under the following reference number INC0697639 - Twitter feed not updating. Apologies for the inconvenience, you can contact our helpdesk to follow up. Thank you for your patience.

All the best - MongiIG

Hi is there an update on this?  Still no feed, I contacted help desk last Thursday, but no response

[JustinDurrant]

That doesn't answer my question.

There is no news feed since 14/03.

Twitter is not working either yet your systems monitor/status page says everything is 100%

I think Twitter want paying for it now.....

Feed has gone altogether now - Is it still being fixed or was above untrue?

[OfentseIG]

Hi All, we experienced an issue that led to Twitter Feeds not updating on the platform. An investigation was conducted to identify the cause and find a permanent solution to the problem. We have our IG teams prioritizing on resolving the issue on a timely manner. We unfortunately do not have ETA on when this will be resolved and apologize for the delay and inconvenience caused. We kindly ask for your patience. 

Thanks, OfentseIG

Simpler to make your own

Just open your Twitter a/c in a sidebar.

You can choose your own content not the cr*p IG want to feed us.

@OfentseIG, as this feed has disappeared without reason (is it true that Twitter are asking for payment?), please can you advise how we may recreate a similar feed within our own Twitter accounts?

In Microsoft Edge you can open a sidebar, the only problem is that it doesn't refresh automatically.

IG: any ETA on deploying the fix?

[eddyed]

Funnily enough, I have another issue which IG tells me that they have been looking to fix for 4 months now (tell me ongoing when I chase) and I can't believe it could not have been fixed if this were the case.

I assume that we will never be getting feed back as an "API" issue like this is not a two week fix. They just don't want to tell us hoping we will forget.

Free access stopped on 13 Feb so is that why IG wont show a twitter feed from 14th?

@MongiIG can you advise of a way to replicate the news feed that you previously supplied within IG? In fact, I'm happy to not have the Bloomberg news feed as clicking on that was a waste of time as they require a subscription. However, I found the Reuters news, in particular, to be very useful. 

I have a twitter account, can I simply recreate what you had in that? 

@iom120000 thanks for your reply, but just opening twitter in a sidebar is only helpful if I know how to access the same news feeds and refresh them automatically - if you can give me some idea of how to start it, I'll give it a go! For instance, how would I replicate the Reuters news feeds that IG were providing?

Just open a Twitter a/c, do a search and start following whichever feed you like. Reuters, Bloomberg etc etc.

Hi All, 

Please kindly note that the Twitter Feeds are back on the platform. 

All the best, OfentseIG
