Another error in fetching data.

Majoka · June 5

Hi, I have also tried the following Python code to extract data.

import requests

# Set your API credentials

api_key = "xx"

account_id = 'xx'

# Set the API endpoint and parameters

endpoint = 'https://demo-api.ig.com/gateway/deal/session'

headers = {

'Content-Type': 'application/json',

'Accept': 'application/json',

'X-IG-API-KEY': api_key,

'Authorization': f'Bearer {account_id}',

}

params = {

'resolution': 'D', # Daily resolution

'epic': 'CS.D.BHP.LON.IP', # BHP market identifier

'pageSize': 10, # Number of prices to fetch

}

# Make the API request

response = requests.get(endpoint + 'prices', headers=headers, params=params)

# Check if the request was successful

if response.status_code == 200:

# Extract the close prices from the response

data = response.json()

close_prices = [price['closePrice'] for price in data['prices']]

print(close_prices)

else:

print('Error occurred:', response.text)

It gives me the following error message.

Error occurred: <html><head><title>Page Not Found</title><h3>Error 404</h3><h3>Sorry, the requested page is not available.</h3></body></html>

So basically, I am not sure how to extract price data via the API using Python.

Judging from this code, you would query the non-existing endpoint "/sessionprices", which indeed does not exist, so the 404 is valid.

You need to create a /session first, then you can query price data.
