Usage

Get an API Token

Create an account on IEX Cloud and get a publishable token from the IEX cloud console. You should use a sandbox token and endpoint for testing.

Configure

IEX::Api.configure do |config|
  config.publishable_token = 'publishable_token' # defaults to ENV['IEX_API_PUBLISHABLE_TOKEN']
  config.secret_token = 'secret_token' # defaults to ENV['IEX_API_SECRET_TOKEN']
  config.endpoint = 'https://sandbox.iexapis.com/v1' # defaults to 'https://cloud.iexapis.com/v1'
end

You can also configure an instance of a client directly.

client = IEX::Api::Client.new(
  publishable_token: 'publishable_token',
  secret_token: 'secret_token',
  endpoint: 'https://sandbox.iexapis.com/v1'
)
