Installation and Usage

npm i iex-sdk

ES6+

import IEXCloudClient from "iex-sdk";

import a promise based HTTP Client to use along side iex-sdk. iex-sdk supports both node-fetch and axios

// import a promise base library
import fetch from "node-fetch";

common.js

const { IEXCloudClient } = require("iex-sdk");

// import a promise base library
const fetch = require("node-fetch");

Configuration and Setup

IEX Cloud uses a message weighting system to measure usage in message counts, make sure sandbox is enabled to true in development to avoid reaching data limits or overages. (Note: when enabling sandbox to true, the publishable key token is automatically prefixed with the letter T and doesn't require changing the existing token to access Test Data ) MAKE SURE PUBLIC KEY & NOT SECRET KEY IS BEING USED as it is prefixed with: "pk_"

import { IEXCloudClient } from "iex-sdk";
import fetch from "node-fetch";

const iex = new IEXCloudClient(fetch, {
  sandbox: true,
  publishable: "pk_21b4ffeccc6e3cnc1df07467a47231c6",
  version: "stable"
});
