Trading TWS session is connected from a different IP address

[jordics]

Hi!

I wanted to try this library but when I try the sample code I just receive this error:

{'error': 'Trading TWS session is connected from a different IP address'}

Any idea about if this is a bug or theres something wrong?

Hello,
This wrapper uses Client Portal Web API, not TWS API.
I am guessing this is the reason?
You can check out https://github.com/Voyz/ibeam for connecting to CPW API.
Part Time Larry (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1OhiiCx6Ho&t=1s) also has a youtube tutorial on ibeam if you are interested in.

No, this is weird in fact (I assumed was a but from IB). I'm using the Client Portal Gateway... but I get this error. I don't have even installed the TWS

Hmm, that's interesting.
What do you get when you type the following command in the shell terminal?
curl -X GET "https://localhost:5000/v1/api/one/user" -k

Another guess is that your account is connected to TWS session from a different computer.

I found the reason: I was authenticated using the paper account. No idea why it says "TWS session" because I have never used it, it must be a minor issue in their API. Thanks! Good work!

[utilmon]

Cool, thanks. Just want to note that paper account should work fine as well, but maybe you need to initialize it first from your main account.

Just for anyone having this error, I experienced this error when my account was logged in my web browser at the same time.
