2.1. GetQuote
GetQuote method returns a "Quote" structure for a given instrument name. The Quote structure contains fields equivalent to columns in Rates windows in Streamster. GetQuote returns only fields available in Streamster - if you wish to retrieve any fields not currently shown in Streamster, you have to add them by clicking the Columns button.
Sample - PHP: The following sample retrieves a quote for EUR/USD, displays the "Last" field and then lists all available fields.

$api = new SoapClient ("http://127.0.0.1:8018/service.wsdl",
array('features' => SOAP_SINGLE_ELEMENT_ARRAYS));
$quote = $api -> GetQuote("EUR/USD");
echo $quote -> Last . "\n";
foreach($quote as $field => $value) {
echo $field . " = " . $value . "\n";
}
?>
Sample - Visual Basic: The following sample retrieves a quote for EUR/USD, displays the "Last" field and then displays all other fields.
