robinhood2

NodeJS Framework to make trades with the private Robinhood API. Using this API is not encouraged, since it's not officially available and it has been reverse engineered. See this blog post for more information on the API.

FYI Robinhood's Terms and Conditions

This framework is based on a less active javascript framework created by @aurbano that was originally based on a deprecated Python framework originally developed by @Rohanpai.

Features

};

var Robinhood = require('robinhood')(credentials, function(){

    //Robinhood is connected and you may begin sending commands to the api.

    Robinhood(null).quote_data('GOOG', function(error, response, body) {
        if (error) {
            console.error(error);
            process.exit(1);

Even though this should be obvious: I am not affiliated in any way with Robinhood Financial LLC. I don't mean any harm or disruption in their service by providing this. Furthermore, I believe they are working on an amazing product, and hope that by publishing this NodeJS framework their users can benefit in even more ways from working with them.
