From the outset I need to clarify I am a newbie to both python and the IBKR API. I can successfully connect to the platform and retrieve data on the last traded price and last traded size, code snippet below. What I'd like to retrieve but can't, is the timestamp of last trade, i.e. what time did the stock trade last.
I see in the documentation a references to Ticker Id 45, "Last Timestamp - Time of the last trade (in UNIX time)", but I don't know how to access this or a method which will give me this timestamp.
Python Code snippet below
from ib_insync import *
thisClientId = 101
def main():
ib = IB()
ib.connect(host='127.0.0.1', port=7496, clientId=thisClientId)
ib.reqMarketDataType(4)
contract = Stock('BHP', 'SMART', 'AUD')
stock_data = ib.reqMktData(contract, 225)
ib.sleep(1.5)
print("225 stock_data.last: ", stock_data.last)
print("225 stock_data.lastSize: ", stock_data.lastSize)
if __name__ == '__main__':
try:
main()
except:
print('Interrupted')
