Yep, the last example is not capturing/displaying the required data.<br /><br />Can't remember exactly how this is supposed to work, but if you experiment with the line:-<br /> if (counter>3)<br />...changing to (say):-<br /> if (counter>12)<br />...you will see data as per my example.<br /><br />However, this post was only supposed to be a starting point for anyone interested in exploring the icbit api.<br /><br />At the time (early 2013) I couldn't find enough accurate api documentation to make a complete application, and was hoping that others would chip in and fill the gaps. Maybe the author has left the documentation vague for good reason, or maybe he/she is just so bright that they can't see what the problem is for dumbos like me!<br /><br />Either way, I haven't taken this any further.<br /><br />I did build a simple MxGox app but there were a couple of problems; <br />1. The app ran quite well but the server would drop my connection from time to time. This was often when something exciting was happening (e.g. a sudden rise in trading volumes). So I think it was due to a lack of server capacity.<br />2. I had to white-list "https://socketio.mtgox.com/socket.io/socket.io.js" in Firefox because of a security certificate problem....very worrying!SteveDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10645378028590228663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042569099194536366.post-78107970252463212492013-11-23T22:33:07.580+00:002013-11-23T22:33:07.580+00:00Thanks alot for writing this :) ICBIT offical guid...Thanks alot for writing this :) ICBIT offical guide ain't that good, yours is much more usefullAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019872888801642621noreply@blogger.com
