Hi all.

I just purchased my developer account and downloaded the API and examples and all.

But I can't get them to do anything, i'm assuming because I don't have a data feed account? Do I need to purchase a data feed seperate from my developer account in order to actually use the examples, or to develop code?

THe documentation regarding getting started seems to be non-existent...

THanks,
Patrick

Yes. As stated in the email you received confirming your activation of the API, you must also have an IQFeed data account. You can sign up at www.iqfeed.net.
