Cannot place order

[cbengibson2]

Hi All,

I installed the new Github version this morning and was unable to place an order. The line in RobinHood::api_orders seems to be the issue:

    detail <- data.frame(account = RH$url.account_id, instrument = instrument_id, 
                         symbol = symbol, type = type, time_in_force = time_in_force, 
                         trigger = trigger, price = price, stop_price = stop_price, 
                         quantity = quantity, side = side, client_id = RH$api_client_id)

R is looking for RH$api_client_id but doesn't exist. If I run RH$api_client_id<-RH$api_request.client_id prior to placing the order, it works fine.

It feels like you still arent on the correct package version. In the patch I made, i changed the structure of the RH object which is why that code no longer works.

Snippet from api_login.R

  # Storage for api data
  RH <- c(
    # APIs
    api_request = list(
      grant_type = "password",
      client_id = "c82SH0WZOsabOXGP2sxqcj34FxkvfnWRZBKlBjFS",
      device_token = uuid::UUIDgenerate(),
      scope = "internal"
      ),
    api_response = list(
      access_token = "000",
      refresh_token = "000",
      expires_in = 0,
      token_type = "000",
      scope = "000",
      mfa_code = "000",
      backup_code = "000"
    )
  )

Snippet from api_orders

  if (action == "order") {

    url <- RobinHood::api_endpoints("orders")
    token <- paste("Bearer", RH$api_response.access_token)

    detail <- data.frame(account = RH$url.account_id,
                         instrument = instrument_id,
                         symbol = symbol,
                         type = type,
                         time_in_force = time_in_force,
                         trigger = trigger,
                         price = price,
                         stop_price = stop_price,
                         quantity = quantity,
                         side = side,
                         client_id = RH$api_request.client_id)

    dta <- POST(url = url,
                add_headers("Accept" = "application/json",
                            "Content-Type" = "application/json",
                            "Authorization" = token),
                body = mod_json(detail, type = "toJSON"))
    httr::stop_for_status(dta)

    dta <- RobinHood::mod_json(dta, "fromJSON")
    dta <- as.list(dta)

The new version should be trying to get your client id from your new RH object client_id = RH$api_request.client_id so if you had to copy it from your old structure, i wonder if you are really on the latest version. If thats not the case I will trouble shoot further.

Ah, I see the problem -- I saved the RH authentication object before you updated the package, then used the older object to place the order. My bad! The new version works great. Thanks!

Thanks JestonBlu again for tackling the API issue so quickly. I have a related issue I thought I'd bring up here.

I'm running into an odd error with api_orders as well where I can seem to place a sell order, but get Bad Request (HTTP 400). when trying to place a buy order. I've tested this a few times and it rejects only buy orders. This is on 1.6.8. Any ideas?
