Quote from promagma:As far as APIs go .... it is quite nice.


It's better than the TWS API, but then most everything is.
One stupid thing that IQFeed does with their API is in the news messages, for some reason they use commas as field separators (which is different from the separator they use for quote messages), this really decision really begins to bear fruit when you get news messages where the text contains commas. Go figure...

I've never parsed an IQFeed news message, but I have parsed their quotes in several languages. Separator is a comma.
