Hello,

I am currently thinking very hard about using dtniq in a software product that I am building. But I was wondering if I could ask a few questions in the forum first?

I plan on writing a java app that will connect to the Iqconnect.exe using tcp/ip is that doable? I dont see a need for any api if I do it this way. Is that correct?

I will need to know the protocol for talking with the iqconnect.exe that is running on my machine, where will I get access to that information?

Is there a java api? Can anyone point me somewhere I can read about it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Bob

Hello Bob,

First, I want to clarify that the DTNIQ and IQFeed are two distinct products. While you can have both products installed, you will actually be developing to IQFeed's components, not DTNIQ's.


Yes, you can write to the IQFeed API using java and tcp/ip.


I'm not sure what you are asking here. If you write to IQFeed, you are using the API.


When you sign up for the API, you will gain access to the API documentation.



Yes, java is supported in the IQFeed API. When you sign up for the API, you will gain access to the API documentation.


I hope this information helps. Thanks!

Natalie

Thank you for your response.

Great, documentation will be avialable when I sign up.


One more question....

Is there a test feed available for testing during development?

Thanks in advance.

There is no "test feed" available. A standard IQFeed Account is required to access the "Live feed" which will handle any testing needs you should have.
