How to get changebalance working?

[burny91]

Hi all,

I do not understand why the method api.changebalance() is not working for me. Could you please give me a hint what I am doing wrong?

My small test shall connect to my IQ account print the real account balance change balance to practice and print then there the balance.

But I only get the current selected balance from the IQ Option application.

I have tried both approaches with but without any success.

 # To enable the real account:
api.changebalance(5955150)
# or
api.changebalance('real')

# To enable the practive account
api.changebalance('practice')
# or
api.changebalance(12074331)

This is the code. Does anyone see the mistakes I am doing?

from iqoptionapi.api import IQOptionAPI
import time

def accountBalance():
    api = None
    api_info = None
    balance_r = 0
    balance_p = 0

    while True:
        if api is None:
            print "Connecting to IQ Option Broker"
            api = IQOptionAPI("iqoption.com","user", "pw")
            api_info = api.connect()
             # To enable the real account:
            api.changebalance(5955150)
#             api.changebalance('practice')
            #api.changebalance('real')
            if api != None:
                print "Connection Established"
        else:
            # To enable the real account:
            #api.changebalance('real')
#             api.changebalance(5955150)
            balance_r = api.profile.balance        

            print balance_r
            # To enable the practice account:
#             api.changebalance(12074331)
            #api.changebalance('practice')
            balance_p = api.profile.balance
            print balance_p

            api.changebalance(12074331)
            balance_p = api.profile.balance
            print balance_p 
            return

accountBalance()

Found the solution. Needed to find and select my own profile id. Then the balance changes works at a glance.
