Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

Add it in your root settings.gradle at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

Add it in your settings.gradle.kts at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") }
		}
	}

Add to pom.xml

	<repositories>
		<repository>
		    <id>jitpack.io</id>
		    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
		</repository>
	</repositories>

Add it in your build.sbt at the end of resolvers:

 
    resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"

Add it in your project.clj at the end of repositories:

 
    :repositories [["jitpack" "https://jitpack.io"]]

Step 2. Add the dependency

	dependencies {
		implementation 'com.github.IG-Group:ig-webapi-java-sample:'
	}
	dependencies {
		implementation("com.github.IG-Group:ig-webapi-java-sample:")
	}
	<dependency>
	    <groupId>com.github.IG-Group</groupId>
	    <artifactId>ig-webapi-java-sample</artifactId>
	    <version></version>
	</dependency>

                            
    libraryDependencies += "com.github.IG-Group" % "ig-webapi-java-sample" % ""
        
        

                            
    :dependencies [[com.github.IG-Group/ig-webapi-java-sample ""]]

IG Web API Java Sample

Build Status

Overview

This repository contains two simple Java console sample applications which access the IG REST and Streaming APIs:

1) ig-webapi-java-sample-console: A basic console based application which logs in via /session V2, retrieves a list of position, watchlist, subscribes to lightstreamer and create a position.

2) ig-webapi-java-sample-console-ui: A UI based console application (please increase the windows size to prevent scrolling) which shows a graph with the current market price and allows user to place a trade. Authentication is via /session V3.

Getting started

1) Set the destination IG environment in environment.properties.

2) Open a command line / shell prompt and run mvn clean to install the Lighstreamer client in ig-webapi-java-client/lib to your local maven repository.

3) Run mvn clean install to build the project.

4.a) Run basic console app:

    cd ig-webapi-java-sample-console
    java -jar target/ig-webapi-java-sample-console-<project version>.jar <username> <password> <api key>

4.b) Run UI based console app

    cd ig-webapi-java-sample-console-ui
    java -jar target/ig-webapi-java-sample-console-ui-<project version>.jar <username> <password> <api key> [<optional epic>]
