Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 69% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.
The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

I am new to IG API so I may be making an elementary mistake.
I want to use the IG API interface into a Node-js application. I have tested my login and api key with the Streaming Companion and the API Companion and they work fine.
I have downloaded the Schopenhauer wrapper from GitHub and am trying out the example code given on the GitHub page, which is:
I tried the code verbatim with my login details and API key but this threw the error "await is invalid outside an async function", so I wrapped that code into a function declared as async with a call to the function like this:
Now it seems to run but throws this error:
So now I am unable to move forward. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
