WhisperDriver 0.1.7

Automation and API library for WhisperTrades.com

WhisperDriver

WhisperDriver is a comprehensive Python library for automating and managing WhisperTrades.com bots, variables, and broker connections. It combines robust API access with advanced Selenium-based web automation, enabling features not available through the API alone. The library is designed with a focus on reliability, scheduling, and rate-limit consciousness.

Features

• API and Web Automation: Use the official WhisperTrades API for fast, reliable access, and Selenium automation for advanced features (e.g., UI-only settings, Schwab broker renewal).
• API and Web Credentials: Uses API token, WhisperTrades credentials, and Schwab credentials for different functions beyond the scope of WT API alone.
• Bot Management: Enable, disable, update, open/close positions, and schedule bots programmatically.
• Throttle Management: Optional throttle lets you set a minimum delay between API requests to help avoid rate limits. Throttle is enabled with 2 second delay by default, but you can disable or adjust the delay as needed.
• Scheduler: Built-in scheduler for timed bot actions (see example.py).
• Built-in Automatic Schwab Broker Renewal Function: Seamlessly renew Schwab connections using your proivided Schwab credentials. Requires App Authenticator 2FA enabled on Schwab account. First-time in-app confirmation required to enable remembered device.

Installation

pip install WhisperDriver

Or, to install all development dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Authentication & Credentials

• API Token: Obtain from your WhisperTrades.com account. Required for all API-based functions.
• WhisperTrades Username/Password: Required for Selenium-based web automation (e.g., UI-only features).
• Schwab Username/Password: Required only for automatic Schwab broker renewal.

Quick Start Example

import WhisperDriver
import creds as personal

WD = WhisperDriver.ApiWrapper(personal.WT_API_TOKEN)
WD.via_selenium.enable(personal.USER, personal.PWD, is_verbose=True, is_headless=True)

# Start the scheduler
WD.scheduler.start()

# Enable all bots at 9:25 AM Eastern
WD.scheduler.add_task('9:25 AM', 'America/New_York', fxn=WD.bots.enable_all_bots)

# Soft disable all bots at 4:05 PM Eastern using Selenium
from functools import partial
WD.scheduler.add_task('4:05 PM', 'America/New_York', fxn=partial(WD.via_selenium.enabled_to_soft_disabled_by_list, WD.bots.get_all_bot_numbers()))

# Stop the scheduler at 4:30 PM
WD.scheduler.stop_scheduler_at_time('4:30 PM', 'America/New_York')

Function Reference & Examples

Core Concepts

WD Object (WD = WhisperDriver.ApiWrapper(token))

The main interface for all automation and API access. Instantiating WD gives you access to all major features:

• .throttle — API rate limiter (see below for details)
• .endpts — Endpoint handler for all API endpoints (raw API access)
• .scheduler — Scheduler for timed tasks and automation
• .bots — Bot management interface (see below)
• .variables — Variable management interface
• .via_selenium — Selenium-based UI automation interface
• .bot_number_list — List of all bot numbers
• .report_number_list — List of all report numbers
• .variable_number_list — List of all variable numbers

WD.endpts: Endpoint Handler Object

• .bots — All bot-related API endpoints:
  • get_all_bots() — Get all bots (full details)
  • get_bot(bot_number, status_filter=['Enabled', 'Disabled', 'Disable on Close'], include_details=True) — Get a specific bot or filtered list
  • enable_bot(bot_number) — Enable a bot
  • disable_bot(bot_number) — Disable a bot (or set to 'Disable on Close' if open positions)
  • get_bot_orders(bot_number) — Get all orders for a bot
  • get_bot_positions(bot_number='', position_number='', status='', from_date='', to_date='', page='') — Get all or filtered positions for a bot
  • open_position(bot_number) — Force open a new position for a bot
  • close_position(bot_number) — Close all open positions for a bot
  • close_bot_position(position_number) — Close a specific position by number
• .variables — All variable-related API endpoints:
  • get_all_bot_variables() — Get all variables
  • get_bot_variables(variable_number='') — Get a specific variable or all
  • set_bot_variables(variable_number, variable_name, new_value) — Set a variable's value

  • get_all_bot_reports() — Get all reports
  • get_bot_report(report_number='') — Get a specific report or all
  • update_bot_report(report_number, new_name='', new_start_date='', new_end_date='', run_until_latest_date=False) — Update a report's details
  • run_bot_report(report_number) — Run a report
• .brokers — All broker connection endpoints:
  • get_all_broker_connections() — Get all broker connections
  • get_broker_connections(number='') — Get a specific broker connection or all
  • rebalance_broker_collateral(number) — Rebalance collateral for a broker connection

Example:

# Get all bots (raw API)
raw_bots = WD.endpts.bots.get_all_bots()
# Enable a bot
WD.endpts.bots.enable_bot('123456')
# Get all variables
all_vars = WD.endpts.variables.get_all_bot_variables()

Usage Examples:

# List all bots
all_bots = WD.bots.bots_list.all

# Get a specific bot object
bot = WD.bots('123456')
print(bot.name, bot.status)

# Get enabled bots
enabled_bots = WD.bots.bots_list.is_enabled()

# Enable/disable a bot immediately
bot.enable()
bot.disable()

# Schedule enable/disable for a bot at a specific time
bot.enable_at_time('09:25 AM', 'America/New_York')
bot.disable_at_time('04:05 PM', 'America/New_York')

# Correct usage for scheduling multiple bots:
_ = [WD.bots(b).enable_at_time('09:25 AM', 'America/New_York') for b in bot_list]
_ = [WD.bots(b).disable_at_time('04:05 PM', 'America/New_York') for b in bot_list]

# Get positions, orders, and variables
positions = bot.get_positions()
orders = bot.get_orders()
variables = bot.get_bot_variables()

# Open/close positions
bot.open_position()
bot.close_position()
bot.close_position_by_number('pos123')

# Update bot info
bot.update()

Usage Examples:

# Get a list of all bot objects
all_bots = WD.bots.bots_list.all
for bot in all_bots:
    print(bot.number, bot.name, bot.status)

# Get all enabled bots
enabled_bots = WD.bots.bots_list.is_enabled()

# Refresh the list of all bots from the server
WD.bots.update_all_bots()

# Enable or disable all bots
WD.bots.enable_all_bots()
WD.bots.disable_all_bots()

### Variable Management
- **`WD.variables.get_all_variables()`**: Get all account variables.
- **`WD.variables.update_variable(var_name, value)`**: Update a variable.

### Throttle
 **`WD.throttle.set_delay_sec(seconds)`**: Set the minimum delay (in seconds) between API requests. (Default is 2 seconds)
 **`WD.throttle.enable()` / `WD.throttle.disable()`**: Enable or disable the throttle.

#### Example: Throttle Usage
```python
WD.throttle.set_delay_sec(2)
WD.throttle.set_delay(2)
# Disable throttle if you want maximum speed (not recommended for production)
WD.throttle.disable()
# Enable throttle again
WD.throttle.enable()

Scheduler

• WD.scheduler.add_task(time_str, tz, fxn): Schedule any function to run at a specific time and timezone.
• WD.scheduler.start(): Start the scheduler loop.
• WD.scheduler.stop_scheduler_at_time(time_str, tz): Stop the scheduler at a specific time.

Example: Per-Bot Scheduling

from functools import partial
for bot in WD.bots.get_all_bots():
    entry_time = bot['entry_time']  # e.g., '9:45 AM'
    bot_num = bot['number']
    # Enable 5 min before entry
    WD.scheduler.add_task('9:40 AM', 'America/New_York', fxn=partial(WD.bots.enable_bot, bot_num))
    # Soft disable 5 min after entry
    WD.scheduler.add_task('9:50 AM', 'America/New_York', fxn=partial(WD.via_selenium.enabled_to_soft_disabled_by_list, [bot_num]))

Notes

• Selenium Automation: Some features (like Schwab renewal and soft disable) require a running Chrome/Chromium browser. Headless mode is supported for servers.
• Security: Keep your credentials secure. Never share your API token or passwords.

Troubleshooting

• If Selenium functions fail on a server, ensure Chrome/Chromedriver and all dependencies are installed, and use headless mode.
• For 2FA (e.g., Schwab SMS), you may need to provide the code interactively if prompted. If only sms 2FA you will need to instantiate with headless=False and provide the texted code
