Hi all,
I received this today from Oanda:
"---------------------------------------------------------------------
...
The reason I am contacting you today is that we pulled the latest demo API quote usage report and your account was in the list with one of the highest number of API calls. We made a business decision to terminate the demo account if the attached fxTrade demo API license agreement with the annual price of $3,000 is not signed by the end of this week.
"--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Has someone else received this as well?
Thx
I have received a similar email from a "Juan de Carmo":
Dear - XXX
Thank you for your interest in OANDA and for using the fxTrade practice API. The purpose of this version of the API is to allow traders to test their integration with our REST API, which will eventually be used via our production API service.
Your current use of our API is in line with commercial consumption of our data. If you would like to continue using OANDA data, we would be happy to have you do so via a market data agreement. Your usage to date means that if you do not have a market data agreement in place with OANDA in the next 30 days, we will remove your access to the API.
Please contact us within the next 30 days to discuss this in greater detail.
Best regards,
Juan De Carmo
Head of Sales - OANDA Solutions for Business
I had a strange feeling, because usually I do not get emails from any Head Ofs and the email address (firstname@oanda.com) had not the format that I am used to (firstname.lastname@company.com or similar) from conversations with big companies in my professional life.
Today I have received a new email with similar content, sent from Juan, but signed with "Artem Ukropov". Maybe they share the same email address?
Dear - XXX
Unfortunately we have not received a reply to my previous message from you. As mentioned previously, your access will be cancelled in 21 days if no action is taken.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss.
Best regards,

I have contacted api@oanda.com and frontdesk@oanda.com and asked for clarification but I have not received any feedback.
All I have done was runnig a system on a VPS via the API to test if I can make it work properly without error messages ( as I am new to Zorro) and to download some price data with the Download script for the same reason.
Maybe that was to much?
