IQFeed Developer Support » Retrieving the symbol information Feb 14, 2006 10:27 AM (Total replies: 4)

The information I'm looking for is:
1) Symbol description
2) The Point Value
I need to get this info programmatically, so web site search engine doesn't seem to be helpful.
As for API, my application now uses it's TCP/IP part. Does it have such functions, or the only way is to use the COM part of the API?

IQFeed Developer Support » Retrieving the symbol information Feb 14, 2006 09:31 AM (Total replies: 4)

Hello!
Tell me please, is there a possibility to get any symbol information by the name of the symbol? For now, I require the Description of the symbol and its Point Value.
Thank you.

Regards, KDE

IQFeed Developer Support » HM History command Feb 9, 2006 08:18 AM (Total replies: 9)

Hello.
I just downloaded the new IQFeed release 4.1.1.1.
It seems that the mentioned bug is still there. There're still 2 error messages returned in response to a request with an incorrect symbol name. However, the text of the 2nd error message has changed from "Unknown error" to "Incorrect symbol".

I was hoping that there would be only one error message - "Incorrect symbol", not two. Is it really necessary to send that "!NONE!" error message first? Because of this "!NONE!" message I'm forced to update my client software for the 2nd time for a month.

Hopefully, this situation will be resolved once and for all.

Regards, KDE

To IQFeed support team:
Please respond about a second "!ERROR!" section after "!NONE!". My client application doesn't wait for it, because the API reference says that the answer should finish with "!\r\nENDMSG!\r\n" string. So when I receive

!ERROR! !NONE!



!ENDMSG!

, I expect this to be the end of the answer, and finish data retrieval procedure.
And when the next request to IQFeed is processed (with other symbol name), I receive the

!ERROR! Unknown Error.



!ENDMSG!

responce, that was left from the previous request. Thus, all further work crushes, because I start processing previous answers instead of current ones.

Please respond if this is a bug, or how do you propose to handle this situation on the client side.

Thank you.
