firstrade 0.0.2

An unofficial API for Firstrade

firstrade-api

A reverse-engineered python API to interact with the Firstrade Trading platform.

This is not an official api! This api's functionality may change at any time.

This api provides a means of buying and selling stocks through Firstrade. It usses the Session class from requests to get authoriztion cookies. The rest is done with reverse engineered requests to Firstrade's API.

Contribution

I am new to coding and new to open-source. I would love any help and suggestions!

Setup

Install using pypi:

pip install firstrade-api

Quikstart

The code below will:

• Login and print account info.
• Get a quote for 'INTC' and print out the information
• Place a market order for 'INTC' on the first account in the account_numbers list
• Print out the order confirmation

from firstrade import account
from firstrade import symbols
from firstrade import order

# Create a session
ft_ss = account.FTSession(username='', password='', pin='')

# Get account data
ft_accounts = account.FTAccountData(ft_ss)

# Print ALL account data
print(ft_accounts.all_accounts)

# Print 1st account number.
print(ft_accounts.account_numbers[0])

# Print ALL accounts market values.
print(ft_accounts.account_balances)

# Get quote for INTC
quote = symbols.SymbolQuote(ft_ss, 'INTC')
print(f"Symbol: {quote.symbol}")
print(f"Exchange: {quote.exchange}")
print(f"Bid: {quote.bid}")
print(f"Ask: {quote.ask}")
print(f"Last: {quote.last}")
print(f"Change: {quote.change}")
print(f"High: {quote.high}")
print(f"Low: {quote.low}")
print(f"Volume: {quote.volume}")
print(f"Company Name: {quote.company_name}")

ft_order = order.Order(ft_ss)
# Place order and print out order confirmation data.
ft_order.place_order(
    ft_accounts.account_numbers[0],
    symbol='INTC',
    order_type=order.PriceType.MARKET,
    quantity=1,
    duration=order.Duration.DAY,
    dry_run=False
)

# Print Order data Dict
print(ft_order.order_confirmation)

# Check if order was successful
if ft_order.order_confirmation['success'] == 'Yes':
    print('Order placed successfully.')
    # Print Order ID
    print(ft_order.order_confirmation['orderid'])
else:
    print('Failed to place order.')
    # Print errormessage
    print(ft_order.order_confirmation['actiondata'])

This code is also in test.py
