Live Account and Demo Account

[Vincent 11]

Hi,

 

Is there a way to find our if an user account is a live account or a demo account through API?

Thanks.

Hello Vincent,

 

Yes there is in the following way: 

 

Test or demo accounts are always denoted as such in the Account Operator with a "- Demo" or "- Test".  This suffix is always appended to the user name. For example: Chuck Bartowski - Test.

 

Use the GetClientAndTradingAccount service call to retrieve account information. This returns the AccountInformationResponseDTO, which has the property LogonUserName. Parse this property to read the name "Chuck Bartowski - Test" and check the name string for - Test or - Demo.
