IB Rest API

[TheBigShort]

Hi everyone,

I am starting to use IB rest api with R. I am having a bit of issues accessing the data. I have connected through the local https://localhost:5000 and have logged in successfully.

Now I am trying to pull my "FYI" data. Using this link,
"https://localhost:5000/v1/portal/fyi/unreadnumber". I am receiving an error. Below is my code.

library(httr)
set_config( config( ssl_verifypeer = 0L ) )
GET("https://localhost:5000/v1/portal/fyi/unreadnumber")

Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) :
  SSL: certificate subject name 'Client Portal Web API' does not match target host name 'localhost'

Here are is the get started link that tries to guide you through setting up.

Have you tried executing the commands with their Swagger interface? It's been a bit since I messed around with it, but I know that gives you a way to test drive the interface.
Not sure if it helps in your case, but figured I'd mention it.
