Demo account API?


Guest HJP123

Question

Been trying to generate an API key for a demo account, and have been searching for how to do this but can't seem to find any way to achieve this. Does anyone know if this is indeed still possible, and if so how I would go about generating the key?

can you add a screen shot.  I've created my demo account and have opened the web platform and opened the demo platform.  

I don't see "my account".

I do see settings, but not see anywhere to enter an API KEY or generate a new key.

@Jimmy423,  ok, not sure why that would be, possibly a technical problem as the others in the list would also seem important on any account type.

On the 'Contact Us' page the chat function is not open on the weekends but may be worth using the 'Send us a query' function while waiting as maybe some else on the forum may know the answer.

Hi. sorry, don't have a solution but just to say- I'm in the same boat. Have spent 2 hours wandering around the website but couldn't find it anywhere. I thought I saw it in the past but I might have imagined it.

Solution: Sign up for a demo-CFD account (as well as just the share account) and these additional options will appear.

These options do not seem to be appearing for me, and I have done just as you said above.

Do I also need to create a live CFD account for the options to appear?? Not too keen on this 😕

Appreciate any help!

Cheers

Can't seem to see a FAQ on generating an API Key....

Also, the instructions on 'getting started' for generating an API Key are for the old platform.  The new platform does not seem to have these options

    • Overnight in Asia, stock markets experienced a mixed trading session. The rebound in Chinese industrial profits provided some relief, but this was partially offset by a subdued handover from Wall Street. Australian CPI was also stronger than expected, dampening sentiment on fears that the RBA may have to raise rates again. Moving on to Europe, equity futures indicate a quiet open. In the US, the Senate voted to clear a procedural hurdle for the bipartisan bill aimed at avoiding a government shutdown. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has indicated that a stopgap funding bill will be brought to the House floor on Friday. US durable goods orders are the main event of the session.   
    • I have seen several people leaving their daily jobs to enter into cryptocurrency because they think it's a place where fast money can be made lol. Some people have done it and Excel but that doesn't mean what works for Mr A will work for Mr B. @cryptorovers is an example of a successful crypto enthusiasts who left his McDonald's job in 2016 to become a full time crypto investor but several people have also tried that and got lost.  Getting into new business or opportunity can be dilusional atimes, I could remember when I got into crypto few years back, my popular slang was WAGMI meaning we are all gonna make it together but is that actually true? Of course it isn't. Becoming a crypto Millionare requires a lot. Take for instance, Ben Amstrong popular called Bit boy crypto, aside the fact that he's an early investor in Bitcoin, he has a YouTube channel with over 1.5 Million subscribers and over 1M followers on Twitter where he shares crypto news update, market trends, technical analysis and other new innovations in the world of crypto and blockchain technology across his SNS which has earned him recognition and influence. It is true that when you create influence, money will flow in, no wonder he's now worth around $8M. Embracing cryptocurrency is not a sure way to financial stability. As a matter of fact, it could lead to severe financial loss if one do not do his own research well. To succeed in this space, one must be knowledgeable enough. It's a common parable that people wants to follow who knows the way. Know when opportunities knocks at the door, be patient, remember it took Bitboy almost a decade to hit a million dollar from his BTC holdings.  . Are there other ways you think one could explore or apply to succeed or be financially stable in the crypto space? please feel free to share.
