Hi. I just started using the API in Python. Currently, I only see instructions to connect to a real account and don’t know how to connect to a Demo account. So is there any way to connect API with Demo account? Thank you. ---

Thanks for replying. I have read it and the source code of python\_deriv\_api library on Github, I have successfully connected and made a transaction with a real account. I am here and asking if it is possible to connect to a demo account. If yes, please give me an example or suggestion. Thanks, again. ---
