MLTDAmeritrade

Library for accessing TDAmeritrade API's.

This is a work in progress. I am currently working with the very helpful API support team at TDAmeritrade to get everything working. The documentation for the API's are at https://developer.tdameritrade.com/. This tool will only be useful to you if you have a TDAmeritrade account, which you can get at https://www.tdameritrade.com.

Notes

• There is a webserver that will automatically startup as needed to authenticate with TDAmeritrade as needed. That server needs to run SSL, and needs a certificate. Place the certificate and key in the following file: ~/.mltrading/config/cert.pem. See https://developer.tdameritrade.com/content/authentication-sample-python-3 for an example of how to create a self-signed certificate.
• You will need to create the following file ~/.mltrading/config/td_app_config with some configuration information (corresponding to your app and your confguration).

{
        "oauthid": "{oauthid}@AMER.OAUTHAP",
        "redirect_host": "localhost",
        "redirect_port": 39948
}

• Data is cached under ~/.mltrading/data/.
• Authentication data is cached in two files: ~/.mltrading/config/td_auth_code_config and ~/.mltrading/config/td_auth_token_config
• Look in examples for ways this can be used.
• This package can be installed directly from github using the following command: pip install git+https://github.com/lemieuxm/tdameritrade.git
• This has been tested with Python 3.6
