Why am I receiving "message": "Forbidden - Your API key don't have privileges to data type"?
This occurs on WebSocket whenever a certain data type is being accessed that is not included in your current subscription tier.
Example:
{ "type": "hello", "apikey": "73034021-SAMPLE-STARTUP-KEY", "heartbeat": false, "subscribe_data_type": ["quote"] }
You will receive:
{ "message": "Forbidden - Your API key don't have privileges to data type 'quote'.", "type": "error" }
This is because the Quote data type is not available for the Startup Subscription via WebSocket.
