Hi again Jason,
Making good progress playing with F:IB:SWIG 0.11, very nice so far.
Especially appreciate your attention to the doc on how to get up and
running with it; been straightforward so far. I only wish IB's own API
was as well documented, it's quite the disorganized mess in addition to
being chock full of mistakes, from what I can tell early on. (In keeping
with most of their doc, unfortunately.)
Noticed though in this annocpan.org page for F:IB:SWIG:
annocpan.org/~INFIDEL/Finance-InteractiveBrokers-SWIG-0.11/lib/Finance/InteractiveBrokers/SWIG.pm
there's a link in the SEE ALSO section which appears to be dead. The link
purports to be to POE::Component::Client::InteractiveBrokers, but it brings
up what appears to be a top-level page on annocpan.org that suggests the
search for that module failed. Searching CPAN for anything containing the
string InteractiveBrokers showed only your F:IB:SWIG and F:IB:API. Googled
too, no joy. Has POE:C:C:IB been deprecated, or has a new life under a
different name, or... ?
Also: The links in the SEE ALSO section of F:IB:API and F:IB:SWIG which point
explicitly to IB's doc
http://www.interactivebrokers.com/php/apiUsersGuide/apiguide.htm
are also dead. Fwiw, this may be a usable alternative:
https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/?f=%2Fen%2Fsoftware%2Fibapi.php
at least until they update their links again. I downloaded the API doc .pdf
from that page a few hours ago.
Thanks,
Glenn
