QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Recently I started getting a build error when referencing the QuantConnect.Api namespace (it's used by default in bootcamp projects), probably because a new type “Api” was defined recently. Removing this using fixes the issue (I guess it's not really needed in most cases):
Build Error File: main.cs Line:18 Column:10 - A 'using namespace' directive can only be applied to namespaces; 'Api' is a type not a namespace. Consider a 'using static' directive instead

The error message you're seeing is indicating that
Apiis a type, not a namespace, so it can't be used with ausingdirective. This is likely due to a recent change in the QuantConnect API.If you're not using anything from the
QuantConnect.Apinamespace in your code, you can safely remove thisusingdirective without any issues. If you are using types from this namespace, you'll need to fully qualify them with the namespace when you use them.For example, if you're using the
Apitype, you would change this:To this:
This way, the compiler knows exactly which
