Have you successfully analysed any broker api protocol? - page 4

 

Trader12, nice to see you again guy.

Last time I checked Gain's API two months ago, it did required me to deposit $10,000 to get a special code for use in their api. The staff didn't make any clear notice whether I would use the real or virtual money in the api account. Doubtful, I downloaded the api, run it in Visual Studio, and then an unspeakable exception was thrown. It said, "Have we met before? let's introduce to each other". That point I realised that the api was not professionally made; somebody must have coded business-critical api just for fun. Return code from various functions are mostly in String type and even worse there was no clear document mentioning return codes specifically. Exceptions were also undocumented.

Let me check it again whether things have changed or not.
