Error in getting current data from Interactive Brokers

I have a problem with the function getdata . Here is my code:

      ibContract = ib.Handle.createContract;
      ibContract.symbol = 'AAPL';
      ibContract.secType = 'STK'; 
      ibContract.exchange = 'SMART/NASDAQ';
      ibContract.currency = 'USD';
      d = getdata(ib,ibContract)

I have tried symbols of different stocks but the output is always

d = 

    BID_PRICE: -1
     BID_SIZE: 0
    ASK_PRICE: -1
     ASK_SIZE: 0
    LAST_SIZE: 0

Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks a lot!

Its not an error - you get a response like this if you run the query outside of market hours.

Try it when the exchanges are open.
