"I used to have *******, but they are way more money for the same thing. I have had no probs with data from DTN since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"I ran your IQFeed DDE vs. my broker vs. a level II window for some slow-moving options. I would see the level II quote change, then your feed update instantaneously. My broker's DDE, however, would take as much as 30 seconds to update. I am not chasing milliseconds, but half a minute is unacceptable." - Comment from Rob

"I'm very glad I switched to IQFeed. It's working perfectly with no lag, even during fast market conditions." - Comment from Andy via Email

"Thank God for your Data Feed as the only Zippers I see are on my pants (LOL), and no more 200 pip spikes to mess up charts." - Comment from Spiro via Email

"I am a hedge fund manager here. It’s funny, I have a Bloomberg terminal and a Bridge feed, but I still like having my DTN feed!" - Comment from Feras

"I just wanted to tell you what a fine job you have been doing. While *******, from what I hear, has been down and out, off and on, IQ feed has held like a champ this week." - Comment from Shirin

"I was with ******* for 4 years at $230 a month, this is a huge savings for me, GOD BLESS YOU PEOPLE," - Comment from T.S. via Email

"I am keeping IQFeed, much better reliabilty than *******. I may refer a few other people in the office to switch as well." - Comment from Don

"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

"As a past ******* customer(and not a happy one), IQ Feed by DTN is a much better and cheaper product with great customer support. I have had no problems at all since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum

Posted: Aug 31, 2016 08:33 PM Msg. 1 of 2 Need help and/or support getting News Headline data returned from the Lookup port please. I am able to successfully get the News Config data from: NCG,[XML/Text],[RequestID] Which returns data like this: [...] 'MINOR', 'DT7', 'Quote List Changes', '1D', '10' 'MINOR', 'RTI', 'Calendars and Reports', '2Ab', '10' 'MAJOR', 'CPR', 'PR Newswire', '1X', '5' 'MAJOR', 'CBW', 'Business Wire', '1X', '2' 'MAJOR', 'RTT', 'Real-Time Trader', '2Ab', '10' 'MINOR', 'RTB', 'Breaking News Headlines', '2Ab', '10' 'MINOR', 'RTC', 'Big Stories', '2Ab', '10' 'MINOR', 'RTD', 'Analyst Updates', '2Ab', '10' 'MINOR', 'RTE', 'Analyst Comments', '2Ab', '10' 'MINOR', 'RTF', 'Stocks on the Move', '2Ab', '10' 'MINOR', 'RTG', 'Corporate Actions', '2Ab', '10' 'MINOR', 'RTH', 'Market Overview', '2Ab', '10' 'MINOR', 'RTK', 'Economic News', '2Ab', '10' [...] Ok that's a great start, but can't seem to get any further -- when ever I try to send an NHL request to get headlines it just doesn't seem to work. I followed the API guidelines here: http://www.iqfeed.net/dev/api/docs/NewsLookupviaTCPIP.cfm Following the guidelines: NHL,[Sources],[Symbols],[XML/Text],[Limit],[Date],[RequestID] Here's an couple examples I tried: NHL,,,,,, NHL,,TSLA,x,,, NHL,AP:DTN:MW,TSLA,x,,, I've tried passing in News Sources (or not), TICKER symbols (or not), passing in 't' for text or 'x' for XML... and also tried not passing in anything hoping it would return all the news, but, to my dismay, no matter what I try, it seems I get the same result... an empty array ['] or an empty XML shell: <?xml version='1.0'?> <news_headlines> </news_headlines> Getting News Headlines to come back from the servers seems to be an elusive mystery. I'm sure I must be missing a step or doing something wrong? Please help! Thanks in advance. -e Edited by etron on Aug 31, 2016 at 08:44 PM

Posted: Sep 1, 2016 05:28 PM Msg. 2 of 2 Hey guys, Thanks for your help and prompt response via the developer support channel. For posterity here is what support told me: Quote: Your first two request both worked right off in my terminal. Your third request, I had to alter slightly, as none of the sources listed had any news currently, so it returned an empty data set. MWH did have data. NHL,AP:DTN:MWH,TSLA,x,,, After seeing this reply that it works on that end, and inspecting my code closer, to my embarrassment, there was an extra ascii character getting inserted into every request after the comma which was causing requests to get sent wrong. Somehow I completely missed this as I was printing the command for debugging before this character was getting inserted! Thanks for your quick response and help via developer support. -e Edited by etron on Sep 1, 2016 at 05:29 PM
