iexcloud

Go library for accessing the IEX Cloud Legacy API.

Overview

iexcloud provides a Go interface to the IEX Cloud Legacy API. To access the IEX Cloud Legacy API an account and token are required. The goal is for iexcloud to be compatible with the v1 version of the IEX Cloud Legacy API. There were some changes from the beta version to v1 of the API, so things may still be in flux for this library.

• IEX Cloud Legacy API uses https://cloud.iexapis.com/ for its base URL.
• IEX Cloud API uses https://api.iex.cloud/v1/ for its base URL.

Installation

$ go get github.com/goinvest/iexcloud/v2

Testing

Prior to submitting a pull request, please run:

$ make check    # formats, vets, and unit tests the code
$ make lint     # lints code using staticcheck

To update and view the test coverage report:

$ make cover

Integration Testing

To perform the integration tests run:

$ make int

Prior to doing so, you'll need to create a config_test.toml file with your IEX Cloud API Token and the base URL. It is recommended to use your sandbox token and the sandbox URL, so as to not be charged credits when running the integration tests. Sandbox tokens start with Tpk_ instead of pk_ for non-sandbox tokens. Using the sandbox does make integration a little more difficult, since results are scrambled in sandbox mode.

Example config_test.toml file:

Token = "Tpk_your_iexcloud_test_token"
BaseURL = "https://sandbox.iexapis.com/v1"
