Unofficial Schwab API wrapper in Python 3.

Project description

Schwab API

Screenshot

This is not an official API or even a stable recreation of a Charles Schwab API. Functionality may change with any updates made by Schwab.

This package enables buying and selling securities programmatically on Charles Schwab using Playwright. Essentially, this package uses headless Chromium to automate the clicks and inputs; it does NOT use web requests (though I'd love to change the code to do so).

Contribution

I would absolutely love contributions; as someone new to open source, I'd appreciate help in setting up a reliable system for PRs as well :)

Getting Started

Installing

Install using pypi and then download and install the playwright binaries:

pip install schwab-api
python -m playwright install

Quickstart

Here's some code that logs in and makes a stock purchase:

from schwab_api import Schwab

# Initialize our schwab instance
# We can only have one instance running at a time
api = Schwab.get_instance(
    username=username,
    password=password,
    user_agent=user_agent
)

# Login
# First-time setup: you will need to enter an SMS confirmation code as input
api.login()

# Make a trade
api.trade(
    ticker="ticker", 
    side="Buy", ## or "Sell"
    qty=1
)

Documentation

There is currently no documentation. If there is traction or demand, I will slowly add this in.
