How to get cumulative Bid vol and ask vol for a price in ACSIL?

I want to be able to get the total existing bid volume and ask volume for a given price, like what can be shown in a number bar/footprint chart.

The conundrum I am facing with Get Time and Sales is when getting the bid volume or ask volume:

Say the current price is at $15. The bid x ask volume so far is 50 and 60 respectively. If I use the get time and sales function to get volume, it starts counting from 0. So say the volume for ask goes up by one, it would show 1 instead of 61.

How do I go about getting all bid and ask volume for current and past prices in ACSIL?

If I am using numbers bar, how do I access the same data at a specified price level intrabar?

Refer to the documentation here for this:
ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.VolumeAtPriceForBars

We added documentation for the member function (GetVAPElementAtPrice) for this.

Is it possible to get the bid and ask vol for a specified price level for a loading bar as opposed to a fully loaded bar? I.e intrabar?

Yes of course. Just use that object and you will see all of this is possible.
