Schwab-API-Python

This is an unofficial python program to access the Schwab api.
You will need a Schwab developer account here.
Join the Discord group.
Also found on PyPI.

Installation

1. Requirements: pip install requests websockets manyterm
2. pip install schwabdev

You may need to use pip3 instead of pip

Quick setup

1. Setup your Schwab developer account
   • Create a new Schwab individual developer app with callback url "https://127.0.0.1" (case sensitive)
   • Wait until the status is "Ready for use", note that "Approved - Pending" will not work.
   • Enable TOS (Thinkorswim) for your Schwab account, it is needed for orders and other api calls.
2. Install packages
   • Install schwabdev and requirements pip install schwabdev requests websockets manyterm
   • You may need to use pip3 instead of pip
3. Examples on how to use the client are in tests/api_demo.py | tests/stream_demo.py
   • The first time you run you will have to sign in to your Schwab account using the generated link in the terminal. After signing in, agree to the terms, and select account(s). Then you will have to copy the link in the address bar and paste it into the terminal.
   • Questions? - join the Discord group.

import schwabdev #import the package

client = schwabdev.Client('Your app key', 'Your app secret')  #create a client

client.update_tokens_auto() #start the auto access token updater

print(client.account_linked().json()) #make api calls

What can this program do?

• Authenticate and access the api
• Functions for all api functions (examples in tests/api_demo.py)
• Auto "access token" updates (client.update_tokens_auto())
• Stream real-time data with customizable response handler (examples in tests/stream_demo.py)

TBD

• Automatic refresh token updates. (Waiting for Schwab implementation)

Notes

The schwabdev folder contains code for main operations:

• api.py contains functions relating to api calls, requests, and automatic token checker threads.
• stream.py contains functions for streaming data from websockets.
• color_print.py contains functions to print to the terminal with color.
