SnapTradeAPIClient

Before getting started, you will need a clientID and a consumerKey. If you don't have one, please send us an email to get a new one.

Why use SnapTradeAPIClient?

1. The client uses the clientID and consumerKey that you pass in to sign a request. This ensures that all requests made to the API server are signed and authenticated correctly.
2. The client ensures that any data passed in through the path params, query params or request body are formatted correctly.
3. The client formats the API responses and returns a dictionary of the data returned.

How to use SnapTradeAPIClient?

The code block belows shows you to initialize a SnapTradeAPIClient and how to make requests with it.

"""
Your consumerKey should always remain a secret! Never hard code it!
"""

from snaptrade.api_client import SnapTradeAPIClient

# 1) Initialize a client with your clientID and consumerKey.
client = SnapTradeAPIClient(clientID, consumerKey)

# 2) Check that the client is able to make a request to the API server.
api_status_response = client.api_status()
print(api_status_response)

# 3) Create a new user on SnapTrade
user_id = "userIDProvidedByPartner"
register_response = client.register_user(user_id)

# Note: A user secret is only generated once. It's required to access
# resources for certain endpoints.

user_secret = register_response.get("userSecret")

# 4) Get a redirect URI. Users will need this to connect
# their brokerage to the SnapTrade server.

redirect_uri = client.get_user_login_redirect_uri(user_id, user_secret).get("redirectURI")

# 5) Obtaining account holdings data

holdings = client.get_all_holdings(user_id, user_secret)

# 6) Deleting a user
deleted_response = client.delete_user(user_id)
