[Python programming help]

Thx. Will have a look.

 

[Python programming help]

EPIC = 'IX.D.FTSE.DAILY.IP'
PRICE_RESOLUTION = 'D'
NUM_POINTS = 20

ig_service = IGService(IG_USERNAME, IG_PASSWORD, IG_API_KEY, IG_ACCT_TYPE)
ig_service.create_session()

response = ig_service.fetch_historical_prices_by_epic_and_num_points(EPIC, PRICE_RESOLUTION, NUM_POINTS)
df_ask = response['prices']['ask']

This is the basic code a friend gave m. I am unable to build on this. My query is, is this type of code antiquated? Is there a new python example code?

If this code is ok, how do I change parameters? What are the other calls that can be used to get data in python?

thanks in advance,

Prakash

[Looking for a list of 'instrument' 'EPIC's]

Hi,

I was trying my hand at programming to get some data. I am unable to find a list of instrument EPICs in the glossary or reference. Could anyone please point me to the right place to look for those?

EPIC = 'CS.D.EURUSD.MINI.IP'  here is an example of an epic. I am looking for FTSE100 DFB and others.

 

Thanks in advance
