Here you can find information on how to fetch or display data from Spotlight by using Spotlight API or Graph/IR IFrame Solution.
IFrames are being used on websites where an image or box type of area displays the given data e.g. newsfeed, blogpost, graph, data, etc. API or Application Programming Interface, is data received from an HTTP Request. It gives the same result as typing a URL in your web browser, you send a request to retrieve a web page. You will get data instead of a web page. The “response” will give you raw data that developers can use in their code. The developers or front-end team are responsible for the design.
API gives you a more flexible way to use the data into your design. You can pick exactly what data you want to fetch from the Spotlight API (see the Spotlight API Documentation file for a full usage guide).
IFrame has a sticky height and width which sometimes can be less compatible with mobile device scaling. IFrames are done with only one line of code, the IR IFrame is the same but will display other data by switching the source (src) inside the IFrame. Example code using Iframe and Spotlight Group instrument:
<iframe frameBorder="0" width="100%" height="4594" src="https://ir.spotlightstockmarket.com/sv/bolag/irabout?InstrumentId=XSAT000073MV"></iframe>
API displays data in a more complex way. You need to fetch data by using another URL. The Spotlight API URL is the base of the request and you will need other tools to get data. You will need to ask Spotlight for a customer made Key, which will be used for ALL of the API calls. You can choose content by sending a request to the Spotlight API. You can use the data in your code when you are happy with the result.
Consider what you want to display on your customer web page, do you need more data than the IFrames provides? We recommend you start using the IFrame solution for a faster, easier way to display data. The IFrame is very easy to use and only need a few steps to be working. If the data is not enough for your customer solution, we suggest you use the API based solution, it can access more data and is free from design.
For more information on how the Key works, please see the Spotlight API Documentation, section Authentication and follow each step carefully.
For more information on how to use the IFrame, see the Spotlight API Documentation, section Graph and IR API.
