    Status: CONNECTING

    Hi,
    I am currently working on integrating the IG API to receive live streaming data for my Demo and Live trading accounts.

    Despite following the documentation and ensuring my credentials and endpoint configurations are correct, I am not receiving any real-time data updates.


    I am able to successfully obtain tokens and authenticate, but no streaming data is received. Below is a snippet of the log output:



    "Obtaining tokens...

    Could you please assist in troubleshooting this issue or confirm if there are any additional steps, configurations or debugging tests to isolate the reason that is stopping access to live streaming data?

    Thank you for your assistance.

    Best regards,




    James

    Hi James,

    The 'CONNECTING' state of the client library is only temporary. In fact, within few seconds, you should find one of the three possible outcomes:

    - connection successful,
    - connection failed with some indication of the problem,
    - otherwise, a timeout should trigger a retry mechanism.

    Could you provide a snippet of the log following the one you posted here to ascertain which case your test ends up in?
    If it is the third case, with a repeated cycle of retries, the most common cause is a network issue where the client is unable to contact the server.

    Regards,
    Giuseppe

    Hi Giuseppe

    thank you for your response.

    The log doesn't continue at all, just proceeds immediately to the command prompt.

    When integrating the Lightstreamer library into your Python application, it's important to understand its asynchronous nature. The LightstreamerClient.connect() method is non-blocking, which means it won't halt the execution of your program. Instead, it initiates a connection in the background, allowing your program to continue running while it connects to the server.


    For a practical demonstration, consider reviewing the Python demo provided with the library. It showcases how to effectively use the LightstreamerClient to establish a connection and manage real-time data subscriptions.

    Hi Alessandro

    This was very helpful and worked fine thanks.
    So now just looking to build and adapt. But already have an issue with "Cause: 2 - Requested Adapter Set not available"
    Trying to locate the 'adapters.xml' but not in client dir, is this on Lightstreamer server?

    This is the output:

    Hi James,

    I can confirm that the Adapter Set is configured at the server-side and has to match with the one passed in the connection request of the client.
    In your case you specify 'DEMO', that is one of the Adapter Sets used by our public demos.
    You should refer to the IG guide here: https://labs.ig.com/streaming-api-guide.html
    For example the Adapter Set should not be configured since it seems the 'DEFAULT' value is used; so you can simply not specify it at all.

    Regards,
    Giuseppe
