Login problems python tradingbot via API

Shadow posted a topic in New Client Trading Questions

Hello IG Forum, some time ago I opened an IG_Account and activated it. Currently I am trying to write a trading bot to log in via Python_API, and the trading bot should buy and sell CFD on the DAX40 in Germany. Logging in and creating an API_Key on the demo account is no problem. Since I didn't know how to create an API_Key at the beginning, I had to test it several times. I generate an API_Key and give it a name and password. From Trading IG, I got a link where I can test username, password, and API_Key, and it always says access not possible. Then I found this forum, and hope that I can get help here. With kind regards

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.
