Using MT4 instead of TD #6

For some reason I thought this was a program designed for the platform MetaTrader4. (I specifically looked up, "MT4 python trading bot." and this video popped up.) Now as I am reviewing it, I realize its not for MT4 its for TD ameritrade. Is there any way we can switch the platform?

I have found to what is claimed to be a MT4 API. though I don't think its as beefy as this one. The API is also on github, here is the link.

Unfortunately, currently, there is no plan to integrate the MetaTrader4 API into the trading robot. The next client that would be integrated is Interactive Brokers. Not to say it couldn't be integrated but it requires a massive overhaul of the current package.
