Hi Wealth-Lab People,

I am a software engineer and I would like to write my own data provider to interface with Wealth-Lab Developer. Do you have instructions on how to get started doing this?

Thanks!

Hi Kevin,

Sure we have them:

Creating Static Data Providers for Wealth-Lab 6
Creating Streaming Data Providers for Wealth-Lab 6

You'll get access to the API docs once you transition to WLD.

Hi Eugene,

I'm logged to the site in and subscribed to WLD yesterday. Unable to access the above links. Error: You must be a verified Wealth-Lab Developer/Pro 6 customer to view this page. Free trial users can not access this content.

Please sign up for a Wiki account:

http://www2.wealth-lab.com/WL5WIKI/Register.aspx

When we're notified of its creation, I'll greenlight it and soon you'll have access.

Does anyone have a (sample) provider c# code? It would really speed up development.

Download Project Source Code

On Home - MS123 Providers click the greenish Attachments button (requires login with qualified Wiki account) and grab the source code of two static, streaming and fundamental data providers.

Was able to compile WealthLab.DataProviders.Fundamental.MS123 with VS2019, using .NET 4.72 (had to change from 4.0). No errors. Dropped the dll in the install folder. Launced WLD but can't see a new provider in the list (screenshots attached). Any ideas what I missed?

Take a look at the User Guide on the difference between fundamental and static data providers: Data > Data Manager > Update Data.
