Request snapshot via API

[Exhale_Trading]

I found in the rest API reference that one can specify to receive "SNAPSHOT_ONLY" when requesting market details via the API. This seems to be very useful since

requesting the full market details is quite a lot of data one often does not need. However I have problems to make this work.

Also this function doesn't seem to exist in the rest API companion, so no help there either.

Could one give an example URL how such a request should look like? Requesting full market details works without problems.

Problem solved.

Can be deleted.

Hi @Exhale_Trading, could be useful to anyone with the same problem if you were able to post a quick pointer to where you found the solution.

Thanks for the piece on PRT and IG API in other thread by the way.

Well after the webapisupport replied that they could not help me I simply kept on testing until I found the solution. An URL of the following type gives the snapshot:
