"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
"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

I'm new to using IQLink Feed. Initially, I installed the IQLink Client and ran IQLink.exe, successfully fetching quotes from Excel via DDE. However, when attempting to utilize the Web API built on C# MVC, I encountered connectivity issues upon deploying it on IIS. It seems that IIS is unable to establish a connection with IQLink.exe. Are there alternative methods to retrieve quotes from IQLink besides DDE? I've explored IQFeed API as suggested in forums, but it's not viable due to pricing constraints. If TCP/IP connectivity is an option, could someone provide a sample code for establishing the connection? My requirement is to simply retrieve quotes for currency pairs (e.g., USDCAD.COMP).

Your only options are the IQFeed API product, DDE, and the "save to CSV" features of the IQFeed client applications.
