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.

Hi, I have an API key and it seems to be working. For example, I can run the following command on my Python console and get a result.

results = ig_service.search_markets("bhp")

results

But when I try to run this, it gives me an exception error: unauthorised.access.to.equity.exception

from trading_ig import IGService

from trading_ig.config import config

class config(object😞

username = "xx"

password = "xx"

api_key = "xx"

acc_type = "xx"

acc_number = "xx"

ig_service = IGService(config.username, config.password, config.api_key, config.acc_type)

ig_service.create_session()

# Fetch close prices for BHP from IG Markets

epic_id = "AA.D.BHP.CASH.IP"

resolution = "D"

num_points = 10

response = ig_service.fetch_historical_prices_by_epic_and_num_points(epic_id, resolution, num_points)

close_prices = [float(price["closePrice"]["bid"]) for price in response["prices"]]

print(close_prices)

open_positions = ig_service.fetch_open_positions()

print("open_positions:\n%s" % open_positions)

Can you please help?
