Getting the Access Token - OpenApiDeveloperLibrary.dll ?
Getting the Access Token - OpenApiDeveloperLibrary.dll ?
26 Jul 2017, 13:44
Hi,
Just looking at getting access to users Account Details. I have seen that I need to create an Application on my spotware account etc and all that is fine but the Return URL comes back to some C# code example so I can obtain the Access Token:
if (HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["code"] != null)
{
var code = HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["code"];
var redirectUri = Session["Url"].ToString();
var token = AccessToken.GetAccessToken(_connectUrl, code, redirectUri, _clientId, _clientSecret);
var tokenString = token.Token;
if (tokenString != null)
{
tcMainContainer.Enabled = true;
var profile = Profile.GetProfile(_apiUrl, tokenString);
var accounts = TradingAccount.GetTradingAccounts(_apiUrl, tokenString);
ddlTradingAccounts.DataSource = accounts;
ddlTradingAccounts.DataBind();
Session["Token"] = tokenString;
Session["RefreshToken"] = token.RefreshToken;
}
}
But I need to use:
using Connect_API.Accounts;
using Connect_API.Trading;
But I am unable to locate the OpenApiDeveloperLibrary.dll file anywhere.
Is this still available or is there now a different way to obtain the access token?
Any help would be good.
Thank you

Hi,
Yes I did download both projects within the solution but it will not build, it comes up with many issues and there is no dll located in the project:
one error of which is:
OpenApiDeveloperLibrary\bin\Debug\OpenApiDeveloperLibrary.dll' could not be found
Thank you

Hi again,
Can you please check if the Connect API Library project is referenced properly? Please expand the References section of Connect API Web and verify that the reference exists and doesn't have any issues. You should see the following
In case there is an issue e.g. a yellow sign, try to add the reference again manually.

For the Connect API Library I do see a correct reference without a yellow sign but when I look at the reference properties and it's path, I view the folder that it references the DLL and there is no DLL located in that folder.

- Right click on References.

Let us know if the above fixes the problem

Turns out it was some of the repository nugets that were not updating in the ConnectAPILibrary project even though they tried to reload/install and even after an update of all packages.
In the end I hade to uninstall RestSharp, Newtonsoft, GoogleProtocolBuffers and GoogleProtocolBuffers.Serialization references/packages.
Then re-install them.
Seems to build ok now.
Thank you for your help.

Dear Trader,
Thanks for posting your question in the forum. It seems that you are using the Connect API Web Example. The code for the missing libraries is located in a separate project within the same solution.
Have you downloaded both projects from GitHub? If you open the solution, it will contain both projects and you will be able to build without problems.
Best Regards,
