Fetching historical pricing data for analysis

[Varma]

I am trying to call IG API to retrieve historical price information of Microsoft but getting below error. https://demo-api.ig.com/gateway/deal/prices/UC.D.MSFT.DAILY.IP/MINUTE_5?startdate=2023:10:23-09:00:00&enddate=2023:11:27-23:55:00

{

"errorCode": "error.public-api.exceeded-account-historical-data-allowance"

}

How can i know more details about how much allowance i got and allowed please?

Hi @Varma,

Thank you for your post.

It's a shame that you are experiencing some issues at the moment.

Please note that there is currently an ongoing API issue related to the Puredeal (old platform) issue. There is currently no ETA on the fix and we would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks,

There's a section in the FAQ about the API limits

https://labs.ig.com/faq

Note that the limits described there are for the LIVE environment. The limits in DEMO are different, less, and variable. In my experience though, you still get 10,000 price points per week for historical data

Hi @bug-or-feature,

Please also note that the limits for the DEMO and LIVE environment are the same.
