rixtrade

Official Python client for the RixTrade options trading API.

from rixtrade import RixTrade

rix = RixTrade(token="rtk_test_...")

acct = rix.accounts.get_account(account_id)
print(acct["cash_balance"])

rix.orders.place_order(
    account_id,
    order_type="limit",
    limit_price=-1.20,
    legs=[{"side": "buy", "occ": "SPY261218C00700000", "quantity": 1}],
)

What it does that a raw HTTP call does not

Retries are bounded by the contract, not by a guess. Every refusal carries a retry class. One marked never is raised immediately rather than hammered; one carrying Retry-After is waited for exactly that long.

The idempotency key survives the retry. A retry after a timeout is the same order, not a second one — which is the single most expensive mistake an order client can make.

Cursors are handled. rix.paginate(...) walks a keyset cursor to exhaustion, so "did all my orders land?" has a complete answer rather than the first page of one.

Install

pip install rixtrade

Also served from our own index, if you would rather not depend on a third-party registry:

pip install --extra-index-url https://rixtrade.com/api/sdk/simple/ rixtrade

Sandbox first

Mint a key from your account, use a rtk_test_ credential, and point it at a sandbox account. Sandbox and live are separate reaches: a sandbox key cannot touch a funded account, by design.
