Quick setup

1. Create a new Schwab individual developer app with callback url "https://127.0.0.1" and wait until the status is "Ready for use", note that "Approved - Pending" will not work.
2. Enable TOS (Thinkorswim) for your Schwab account, it is needed for orders and other api calls.
3. Python version 3.11 or higher is required.
4. pip3 install schwabdev requests websockets tk (tkinter/tk may need to be installed differently)
5. Import the package import schwabdev
6. Create a client client = schwabdev.Client('Your app key', 'Your app secret')

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.
• terminal.py contains a program for making additional terminal windows and printing to the terminal with color.
