Hello,

I have a very small issue and I believe it is related to my poor knowledge of HTTP. I'm trying to send a simple specified timestamp request to the following API ( https://www.bitfinex.com/pages/api ), but I do not know how to do it....

I can retreieve any unauthenticated request that doesn't require a request parameter, but how to add one for e.g under the GET /trades/:symbol ( see API website )?

My code is as following
Private Function get_price() As String


Dim xml_a As Object
Dim limit_trades As String
Set xml_a = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")

With xml_a

.Open "Get", "https://api.bitfinex.com/v1/trades/BTCUSD", False
.send
get_price = .responseText
End With

Set xml_a = Nothing

End Function

Sub tester()


Dim JSON_return As Object

Set JSON_return = JSON.parse(get_price())​

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
