Intro Programming Tutorials for Bloomberg and Interactive Brokers API

[rholowczak]

Folks
I have been assembling a set of introductory tutorials for programming the Bloomberg API and the Interactive Brokers ActiveX API. Likely this is pretty basic stuff for readers of this forum but you may get some ideas from it. I am planning to expand both sets with additional languages (likely Python) in the near future.
Here they are:
Bloomberg API: http://holowczak.com/category/bloomberg/
Interactive Brokers API: http://holowczak.com/category/ib/

As always happy to hear your comments and suggestions for improvement.

Cheers,

Prof. H.

Unfortunately this is not updated. Does anyone know how to use C/C++ Interactive Brokers API? I can not find a good tutorial, an updated one!

I have done everything I was supposed to do with C++ API - IB, though I still can't make it to work properly
After compiling "successfully compiling -no errors-"
I press this, the green arrow

The program starts to execute, and it halts at this point, at the very beginning

It shows this alert

and the program halts, It is probably a very small bug, Is there something I am missing? maybe DLL or something
what ???? can someone enlighten me ? I will appreciate any feedback

Somehow I succeeded. I got you IB - C++ API
has someone been involved with Bloomberg C++ API?

I successfully transported my code to MS Visual Studio 64 bits (32 bits had unsolvable errors)
ExSan + Interactive Brokers C++ API
This is my output

Trader Workstation (TWS) API​

The TWS API is a TCP Socket Protocol API based on connectivity to the Trader Workstation or IB Gateway. The API acts as an interface to retrieve and send data autonomously to Interactive Brokers. Interactive Brokers provides code systems in Python, Java, C++, C#, and VisualBasic.
