New account no access to ciapipreprod

[gcr 0]

I opened a live City Index account, I can access https://ciapi.cityindex.com/TradingApi/session , but https://ciapipreprod.cityindextest9.co.uk/TradingApi/session returns

{"AdditionalInfo":null,"StatusCode":2,"HttpStatus":401,"ErrorMessage":"Sorry, your login has failed|This is because your login credentials do not match our records.","ErrorCode":4010}

I used the same user name and password for both environments, am I doing something wrong?

Hi GCR,

An account in one environment cannot be used in the other environment. In your case, the Live account only works in the Live environment, and is unrecognised in Pre-Production. Nowadays, the Pre-Production environment is reserved for internal use only.

For testing purposes, you can quickly apply for a demo account that is used in the Live environment at: https://www.cityindex.co.uk/demo-account/.

This way, you will not risk real money during development and testing through the API. 

Kind Regards, PM
