Hi,
Does anyone in here use R to acces the API.
I have managed to build out the basic structure to interact with the API. Would very much appreciate help and advice from folks already using R.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Joe

Hi,
I'm new to IG.com and R coding. Just saw your post in the community area. I'm a newbie and I'm wondering if you would share your R code regarding API interfacing? I want to eventually download historic and daily open/close data for different asset classes, and I just need some examples on how to do that. Or at least get a start on how to do that using IG.com API.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Who knows, I might get skilled enough to offer some help back in time.

Thanks

mal,
Still trying to put it together, especially trying to get the data out of lists is proving to be a nightmare!
Once I'm done I'll post all my code.
Kind regards,
Joe
Thanks Joe,
Downloading a bit on Quandl but missing a few tickers. Trading on IG.com so thought I might see if I could use their API.
Thanks again
Mal

Hi all,
I know this thread is old, but it's the first hit I get when I google for help with R and IG's API.
I only need very basic functionality (luckily, as I'm a novice R / HTML coder).
Firstly, thanks to Joe for creating that repository. That and another one:
https://github.com/zumthor86/OptionsAnalytics
helped get me to the point where I need (i.e. simply login and get balance / positions).
I've uploaded my code snippets here in case it helps anyone else:
