Hi,
I've been digging through the documentation but haven't been able to find the answer to this.
Is it possible to develop a strategy in Visual Studio and the run a backtest or live on Quant Connect, not locally using Lean? I believe there was a REST API for this but it's not marked as obselete?
Apologies if this has already been answered, I couldn't find a clear answer.
Thanks
Jared Broad
The old API is deprecated but the new one is in progress -- you can see the code in API.cs in the Lean Project. This will let you create projects, save files, and backtest on them locally.

Thanks Jared, have tried creating a project, uploading a file to it, and running a backtest. So far so good, very impressive.

Great news Tim :) To avoid rate limiting please don't run more than one backtest consequtively at a time. We're going to make an optimization service for running massively parallel backtests very soon.
