"I just wanted to say how happy I am with your service. I was able to download the API docs last week and I was able to replicate Interactive Brokers historical bar queries and realtime bar queries over the weekend. That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason via Email

"You have an excellent feed. Very few spikes for Spot Forex." - Comment from Public Forum Post

Author	Topic: Problem with TCP/IP streaming news (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
gwalschl -Interested User- Posts: 46 Joined: Oct 25, 2006	Posted: Sep 10, 2007 05:15 PM Msg. 1 of 4 I am just getting started on writing an interface to the streaming news capability of IQFeed using TCP/IP (sockets). The IQFeed documentation for the SNT command indicates that the date provided is the "oldest date to retrieve in the format YYYYMMDD". Today is 9-10-2007 and I sent a string of "SNT:AAPL::1:20070901:;" to IQFeed. I get only the news for that single day, not all days starting with 9-1-2007. If I change the date to something else like 9-10-2007, I get only that date. It appears that the documentation does not reflect the real way this command works. I would VERY much like to specify a single starting date (like the documentation says I can do) in order to get all news from that point and later up to the current day. Is this possible? How would I do this?

Enter the date with a range, such as "20070901-20070910" to get the data you are looking for. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets
