pyflexweb 0.4.1

Download IBKR Flex reports using the Interactive Brokers flex web service

PyFlexWeb

CLI for downloading IBKR Flex reports.

Install

uv tool install pyflexweb

Setup

1. Create a Flex Query and generate a token in your IBKR Account Management portal.

2. Store your token and add queries:

pyflexweb token set YOUR_TOKEN

# Add an activity query (default type, 6h download interval)
pyflexweb query add 123456 --name "Daily activity"

# Add a trade confirmation query (1h download interval)
pyflexweb query add 789012 --name "Trade confirmations" --type trade-confirmation

Multi-Account Support

If you have multiple IBKR accounts, each with its own Flex token, you can configure per-account tokens and associate queries with specific accounts:

# Add accounts
pyflexweb account add U1317359 --name "Cerabella" --token YOUR_TOKEN_1
pyflexweb account add U11049821 --name "CCUK" --token YOUR_TOKEN_2

# List configured accounts
pyflexweb account list

# Add queries tied to specific accounts
pyflexweb query add 111111 --name "Cerabella Activity" --account U1317359
pyflexweb query add 222222 --name "CCUK Activity" --account U11049821

# Rename or remove accounts
pyflexweb account rename U1317359 "Main Account"
pyflexweb account remove U11049821

Token Resolution

When downloading, pyflexweb resolves the token for each query:

1. Look up the account associated with the query
2. Use that account's token
3. If the account has no token configured, the query is skipped with a clear error

Every query must be associated with an account (--account is required when adding queries). Legacy global tokens are automatically migrated to a placeholder account on first run.

Usage

# Download all queries that are due
pyflexweb download

# Download a specific query
pyflexweb download --query 123456

# Force download regardless of interval
pyflexweb download --force

# Check status of all queries
pyflexweb status
