Requirements

This code is written for Python 3.2 and above, but developed with Python 3.4. There is a reasonable chance it will also work with Python 2.7.

The Requests module is required to run this code.

Project Status

Anonymous connections (i.e. the tickers) work without any real issues. API calls requiring authentication presently do not work as the current API expects POST requests to list variables in an explicit order, whereas Python does not assign an explicit order when constructing a POST URL from dict/JSON data. This adversely affects the output of the digital signature on the authentication request and subsequently causes the authentication step to fail.
