Usage

Here are some sample usages:

import yaml

from pyschwab.auth import Authorizer
from pyschwab.trading import TradingApi
from pyschwab.market import MarketApi

# Load configuration
with open("config/pyschwab.yaml", 'r') as file:
    app_config = yaml.safe_load(file)

# Authorization
# On the first run, this will open a browser for authorization.
# Follow the instructions. Subsequent runs will auto-refresh the access token.
# When refresh token expires, it will open browser for authorization again.
authorizer = Authorizer(app_config['auth'])

access_token = authorizer.get_access_token()
print(access_token)

# Example usage of trading APIs
trading_api = TradingApi(access_token, app_config['trading'])

account_num = 0 # CHANGE this to your actual account number
trading_data = trading_api.fetch_trading_data(account_num)
# List positions
for position in trading_data.positions:
    print("position:", position)

# List transactions 
for transaction in trading_api.get_transactions(account_num):
    print("transaction:", transaction)

# Place order
order_dict = {
    "orderType": "LIMIT", "session": "NORMAL", "duration": "DAY", "orderStrategyType": "SINGLE", "price": '100.00',
    "orderLegCollection": [
        {"instruction": "BUY", "quantity": 1, "instrument": {"symbol": "TSLA", "assetType": "EQUITY"}}
    ]
    }
trading_api.place_order(order_dict, account_num)

# List orders
for order in trading_api.get_orders(account_num):
    print("order:", order)

# Example usage of market APIs
market_api = MarketApi(access_token, app_config['market'])

# Get quotes
symbols = ['TSLA', 'NVDA']
quotes = market_api.get_quotes(symbols)
for symbol in symbols:
    print("quote for ", symbol, ":", quotes[symbol])

# Get option chains
option_chain = market_api.get_option_chains('TSLA')
print(option_chain)

# Get price history 
history = market_api.get_price_history('TSLA')
print(history)
