Introduction:

This article will explain how to make a REST API connection to IEX Group's public stock market API

Purpose/Benefits:

How to Install and Configure the IEX Connector:

Step 1:

Download the Connector and unzip the contents into your C:\Program Files\Sisense\DataConnectors\DotNetContainer\Connectors folder.

Step 2:

Restart the Sisense.Discovery and Sisense.CLRConnectorsContainer services on the Sisense machine

Step 3:

Configure the driver for the symbols you would like to track (by default FANG stocks are included) ... go to the config.json file and add/remove tables,
