Recommended:

import {APIClient} from 'ig-trading-api';
const client = new APIClient(APIClient.URL_LIVE, 'your-api-key');
const session = await client.rest.login.createSession('your-username', 'your-password');
console.info(`Your client ID is "${session.clientId}".`);

Alternative:

import {APIClient} from 'ig-trading-api';
const client = new APIClient(APIClient.URL_LIVE, {
