The ib_insync package is build on top of the Python API from Interactive Brokers. The objective is to make it as easy as possible to use the API, without sacrificing any functionality.
The main features are:
An IB component that automatically keeps its state in sync with the world;
A sequential style of programming that is easy to understand for novice users (no more callbacks);
A fully asynchonous framework based on asyncio for advanced users;
Interactive operation with live data in Jupyter notebooks.
Installation
pip3 install -U ib_insync
Requirements:
Python version 3.6 or higher;
The Interactive Brokers Python API version 9.73.03 or higher;
A running TWS or IB gateway application (version 963 or higher) with the API port enabled.
Example
This is a complete script to download historical data:
from ib_insync import *
ib = IB()
ib.connect('127.0.0.1', 7497, clientId=1)
bars = ib.reqHistoricalData(
contract=Stock('TSLA', 'SMART', 'USD'),
endDateTime='',
durationStr='30 D',
barSizeSetting='1 hour',
whatToShow='TRADES',
useRTH=True)
print(bars)Be sure to take a look at the example notebooks too.
