i have created an API. the purpose of the API is to recieve the different currency rates in the international market after each and every second. this currency rates changing feed comes from a website named http://forexfeed.net/.
now this website gives a piece of code to put it my API in order to recieve the feeds. But i m not understanding where to put this code and is there any need of change in it? please please help me. m very tens abt it. this is my first assignment of my job please help me. the code is given below.
using System;
using System.Collections;
// Load the ForexFeed.net API
using forexfeed.net;
class ForexFeedExample {
// ------------------------------------------
// EDIT THE FOLLOWING VARIABLES
//
private static string access_key = "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY";
private static string symbol = "EURUSD,GBPUSD,USDCHF,USDCAD,AUDUSD";
private static int interval = 3600;
private static int periods = 1;
private static string price = "mid";
// END VARIABLES
// ------------------------------------------
//
// ------------------------------------------
// Main
//
static void Main() {
// Create the ForexFeed Object
feedapi fxfeed = new feedapi(access_key, symbol, interval, periods, price);
// Display the Quotes
printData(fxfeed);
// Display the available Intervals
printIntervals(fxfeed);
// Display the available Symbols
printSymbols(fxfeed);
}
// ''
// '' Get the data and print it to System.out
// ''
private static void printData(feedapi fxfeed) {
//

You should start by using the sample program as-is except for small changes that must be made. The most important thing is to change the line that says:
private static string access_key = "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY";
I think you must change that line and put your access key in it. Please don't tell us what your access key is; you must keep that a secret. Only people that work for your employer should know what the access key is.
Try to get the program working with just that change or maybe other changes in the section that says "EDIT THE FOLLOWING VARIABLES". Can you do that?
