Subscribe to channel `Avanza.POSITIONS` not working?

First of all, awesome project man 👏

Issue

When trying to subscribe for my own positions, using subscribe I don’t get any responses.
Does this work for you? If so, could you provide some example code?

This is what my code looks like

// where accountId is something like "5298387"
avanza.subscribe(Avanza.POSITIONS, accountId, (quote) => {
  console.log('Received quote:', quote)
})

Other

Also, when I read the documentation for channel Avanza.POSITIONS:

Data about your own positions. Expects an accountId or a combination of orderbookId_accountId.

I wonder, when are you using accountId and when are you using orderbookId_accountId?

Hi! Sorry for the late response, very busy at the moment.

orderbookId is almost always the ID representing an instrument/stock, but Avanza seems to model orderbooks and instruments as separate entities, and so there is no guarantee that there exists one orderbook for every instrument and vice versa.

I agree, it might seem misleading. This module is really only a wrapper around some endpoints I found, which the iPhone app (as well as the Avanza website) uses to retrieve data. Because of this, most endpoints are specifically made for a certain screen. In the POSITIONS-case, it is used on the website while you’re placing orders (look at the bottom of the screen).

In the same manner, converting this unofficial API into a nice RESTful getOrder(), addOrder(), ... type of thing becomes very inefficient. Calls to an endpoint might leave you without the data you expected because that data is not used in the screen which the endpoint was designed for.

Hopefully PSD2 makes this module obsolete in 2018! 😃

The DEALS-channel should work exactly like POSITIONS minus the orderbookId. Let’s again assume that 123, 456, and 789 are the accountIds for all of my accounts. Hit me up if you’re still not receiving any data and I’ll have a look at it.

avanza.subscribe(Avanza.DEALS, '_123,456,789', (deal) => {
  console.log('Received new deal:', deal)
})

It’s actually really uncomplicated. Have a look at Charles Proxy.

@fhqvst Hi there,
This subscribe function doesn’t work on the positions channel, I tried parameters such as:

1. <stockid>_<accountid1>,<accountid2>
2. _<accountid1>,<accountid2>
3. <stockid>_<accountid1>
4. <accountid1>
5. <stockid> And yet doesn’t get anything. so I’m interested, how can I access the protocols and some deeper documentation of the Avanza API? Also, do I do anything wrong here? or it is a real issue? thank you in advance.
