Hi KoketsoIG, Thank you for the clarification on that. Cheers

To clarify my understanding. From my Usecase, I have three separate programs all operating interdependently from one another. A program to subscribe to tic data on a number of Epics via the LightStream API, another to grab historic on a number of Epics via the REST API, and finally another to manage positions via the REST API. I need to do this on my demo account initially to get API code stabilized. The IG website specifically says that I need separate API key for each distinct program connecting to IG over REST or LightStream. So in my understanding it looks like I need three API keys all for the demo account. Am I missing something or have I misunderstood how to use these API keys? I am aware of the API request limits and this is why I assumed you need a key per program. Currently I have one API key for the demo account and cannot seem to add more keys to the demo account? I have looked at the FAQ and cannot see an answer for my query.

I am using the IG web API within a python script(trading-ig) to subscribe to prices on my DEMO spread-bet account. Login, connection and session initialisation is working perfectly fine. Subscribing to the account balance is also working perfectly fine, see console logs below. However, subscribing to epic: "CS.D.GBPUSD.TODAY.IP" for fields "BID" and "OFFER" is failing on both my LIVE and DEMO accounts, please see attached screen shot showing this subscription working on the Streaming-API companion and the console logs for the failure via the API library.
