Issue with XAUUSD price in openapi python response
02 Dec 2024, 14:40

Hi, I'm writing a simple program to retrieve prices using OpenAPI, however, the api return strange prices for XAUUSD.

{

    "ctidTraderAccountId": "xxxxxx",

    "period": "M1",

    "timestamp": "1733137547000",

    "trendbar": [

        {

            "volume": "2",

            "low": "6948900",

            "deltaOpen": "0",

            "deltaClose": "0",

            "deltaHigh": "0",

            "utcTimestampInMinutes": 28885615

        }

    ],

    "symbolId": "168"

}

 

According to documentation, it requires to divide the low with 100000, and round to 2 digit. The low price now becomes 69.49, which is very strange.

Would someone please help?

Thanks.

Hi there,

Are you sure this is for XAUUSD? The symbol id for XAUUSD on most brokers is 41. Who is your broker?

Best regards,

Hi there,

Sorry, I mixed up the symbol with asset ID, what are the differences?
