Adding the ibapi library to PYTHONPATH module in Spyder (Python 3.6)



I am trying to simply connect to the ibapi (Interactive Brokers API), but I am having some technical troubles with Spyder.



What I did so far:


C:TWS APIsourcepythonclientibapi



When I simply type import ibapi I get the same error message: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ibapi'


import ibapi


ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ibapi'



What I am doing wrong here and how can I fix this simple error?

I don't use python very much but I'm pretty sure you have to install the ibapi. I never used the PYTHONPATH and mine works fine in Spyder and Jupyter. I'm using Anaconda.



I run the Anaconda prompt (just activates the conda environment) and navigate to the dir C:TWS APIsourcepythonclient and run python setup.py install


C:TWS APIsourcepythonclient


python setup.py install



Then everything works. I think many python packages need to be installed like this.



note: That's not my install dir, I just copied yours. There may be a problem with a space in the path. Try renaming to C:TWSAPI... if you still have a problem.


C:TWSAPI...



copy your ibapi here
C:/ProgramData/Anaconda3/Lib/site-packages/ibapi



Hi i also new to TWS Api. I tried to set the path but i cant find the Pythonclient folder in c:/TWS API/ source
there are only CppClient, CSharpCliet and JavaClient. The Python Client is missing. Someone has a solutuion for my problem?





Ok i got it. You need to download version 9.73.2

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having the same error. I've installed the ibapi module from the Anaconda prompt, but when trying to import I get:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ibapi'.



I ran pip list at the Anaconda prompt, and while ibapi was in the list, the location displayed for the ibapi package seemed to be different from the rest (no location was displayed for the rest of the packages - only for ibapi)



So I checked the paths in sys.path by running the following at the prompt:
-c "import sys; print('n'.join(sys.path))"



The location stated for ibapi is in there, which is:
c:usersrobertanaconda3libsite-packagesibapi-9.73.7-py3.6.egg



So I'm not sure why I can't import.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas...

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12...

Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS I'm trying to create a top 10 leaderboard, for now, I've only implemented 3 players, but I'm coming across an issue. My script doesn't seem to be outputting anything on webpage. The purpose of the script is to compare 3 arrays, player1,player2,and player3 solely based off of score. Which is the 2nd index of each array. I want the script to list the players in order of highest score. This method doesn't really seem to be efficient, especially when I'll have to add 7 more players. Could someone suggest perhaps an easier approach, as well as show me why my script wont output the info. Here's the JS function leaderboard() { var player1 = name:"Thomas",date:"01/23/18",score:"201"; var player2 = name:"Michael",date:"03/24/17",score:"943"; var player3 = Name:"Lisa",date:"06/04/18",Score:"79"; if(player1[2]...
