Get credentials

[RubenLopez]

Hi, I´m using Spark API in C#. I can´t connect to platform because I need the username and password. How can I get these credentials? Thanks.

Hi,

Connection to the live platform requires a Spark account with Iguana2 (http://iguana2.com/). They offer account trials with a small subset of securities for evaluation purposes.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul,

I have spark's credentials for 14 day's trial version.

I downloaded source file for SparkApiSDK_v1.2.0 from Codeproject

I opened its .sln file in visual studio 2015.

As I have never worked on WEb API projects, I am unable to understand its code.

Will you please give me instructions for using this web Api?

Thank you.

Hi there, if you haven't already done so, I would recommend reading this article which takes you through the design, and how to run the program:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/553206/An-Introduction-to-Real-Time-Stock-Market-Data-Pro

To get started:
1) Open the solution in Visual Studio
2) Right-click on the SparkWinFormsGUI project and select 'Set as Start Up Project'
3) Build and run the solution.

I've posted the solution to your not finding the spark.dll issue on the main article page, but I'll repost here:

You need to download the source with the binary files (which includes the spark.dll) using the 'Download Source With Binaries' link at the top of the article:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/553206/SparkApiSDK_v1.2.0.zip[^]

You'll find the spark.dll in there.
