ig

IG REST trading API in Python

IG Labs

Purposes:

• trading
• intraday
• discrete time (non-continuous = no streaming)
• decision concerning monitoring and execution supposed to be programmed in another software

Running the tests

In tests\config.ini, add your IG credentials for demo account or live account. The API key is mandatory, see how to generate one.

As the ig 'software' is not a package for now, you need to add its path.

import sys
import os
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..', 'ig')))

import ig_service as igs
import ig_tools as igt

To get the 'demo' credentials and set up the proxies if needed.

proxy_user, proxy_password, api_key, username, password, account = \
igt.getconfig('demo')

To create a session.

service = igs.IGservice(username, password, api_key, account, 'demo', proxy_user, proxy_password)
service.login()
