ameritrade-python

This is a simple and lightweight async api wrapper for Ameritrade's API.

The official docs for the Ameritrade API can be found here.

The first time authentication will require utilizing the callback URL/redirect URI to obtain your tokens. This package will generate an auth url to enter into a web browser, you can then paste the resulting url from the redirect url in order to obtain a pair of tokens.

from os import environ
from ameritrade import auth

test_redirect_uri = environ.get("callback_url")
consumer_key = environ.get("consumer_key")

test_auth = auth.Auth(redirect_uri=test_redirect_uri, consumer_key=consumer_key)

async def main():
    """Sets the access and refresh tokens by following terminal prompts."""
    await test_auth.manual_auth()

Simple usage using an existing refresh token:

import asyncio
from os import environ
from ameritrade import auth, stock

test_redirect_uri = environ.get("callback_url")
consumer_key = environ.get("consumer_key")
refresh_token = environ.get("refresh_token")

test_auth = auth.Auth(redirect_uri=test_redirect_uri, consumer_key=consumer_key, refresh_token=refresh_token)

async def main():
    """Gets new tokens, then gets a single stock quote for 'KO'/coca-cola."""
    await test_auth.refresh_token_auth()  # Gets fresh tokens

    test_stock = stock.Stock(auth_class=test_auth, symbol="ko")  # creates stock object for KO
    await test_stock.get_quote()  # Makes the quote request
    print(test_stock.quote)


loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()  # Creates the event loop
loop.run_until_complete(main())  # Runs the event loop

Environment

I suggest utilizing a .env file to store private/sensitive information.
If you are not providing a refresh token, it is recommended that you use auth.Auth.manual_auth() in order to use Ameritrade's front end auth tools, you can follow the on-screen instructions for this.

You may choose to save your refresh token in a secure location/format, if using a previous refresh token, you only need to provide these to your auth class:

consumer_key
refresh_token
