Hello Engineering, I use the Trading Levels study/service daily & I manually update ES2 through the website using Edit Levels → Save. I am trying to automate publishing my workbook’s comma-separated price levels using your documented SetPriceLevels API. I am able to logon using my SC credentials. The request is an HTTPS POST to: https://www.sierrachart.com/API.php?Service=SetPriceLevels&SCDLLName=Annapurna%20Massif&Symbol=ES2_TEST The POST fields are AdminUsername, AdminPassword, Service=SetPriceLevels, Data, StartDate, EndDate, and ExpirationDate. Data contains 38 comma-separated prices. I am using the same Sierra Chart account credentials that allow me to manage the service through the website. The response is: ERROR: INVALID_ADMIN During testing, two ES2_TEST entries appeared with the requested dates but no price levels, as shown in the attached screenshot. The existing live ES2 entry remains populated. A subsequent attempt returned INVALID_ADMIN without adding another entry. Could you please clarify why this account is rejected by the API, and whether any additional authorization or request changes are required? I suspect the 'edit/save' function needs to be accessed somehow.. but not sure how. Also, once this is resolved, how should the API update an existing symbol/date-range entry without creating duplicates? Thank you, Benjamin |
