Is there a way to pull ticker info like in the TD API?

[dougbrowning]

In the TD API I was using I was pulling ticker info like this call_quotes = TDSession.get_quotes(instruments=[callSymbol])

Then I could parse the results getting volume, bid/ask, etc. I am not seeing that listed anywhere for this API?

Trying to recreate my TD code that has been dialed in over 3 years and lost it all with the move to Schwab. Not cool.

thanks a lot

Yes, this should be doable, but it's not currently a priority. With the acquisition of TD Ameritrade, it seems the API has completely changed, so I'm updating existing functionality to the new API.

Afterwards, I think it should be straightforward enough to implement something like this

Thanks! I will try to help but still waiting on access to the new API. I signed up but heard nothing. Pretty pissed they yanked the rug with nothing in place to replace it. My code is totally dead now.

To clarify, when I say "new API", I mean reverse engineering the API that Schwab uses under-the-hood (which is in line with the original spirit of this package). You will not need access to the formal API in order to use this package.

Hi, I just pushed version 0.3.0, which includes a new "quote" function. Please give it a try and see if it works for your use case :)

Wow thanks how can I know what the syntax is? TD python was from td.client import TDClient put_quotes = TDSession.get_quotes(instruments=[putSymbol]) currentPutPrice = put_quotes[putSymbol]['askPrice']

On my phone so just copying the code verbatim from the README:

import pprint

# Initialize our schwab instance
api = Schwab()

# Login using playwright
print("Logging into Schwab")
logged_in = api.login(
    username=username,
    password=password,
    totp_secret=totp_secret # Get this by generating TOTP at https://itsjafer.com/#/schwab
)

# Get information about a few tickers
quotes = api.quote(["PFE", "AAPL"])
pprint.pprint(quotes)```

Thanks I got it working for stocks! But it is failing on option quotes. TD the format was weird using SPY_071221P435. I also tried .SPY231213C464 from TOS. Any idea what the format for options are?

thanks so much! so close!

[itsjafer]

For some reason, the Schwab format has 3 arbitrary spaces:

"SPY   231213C00470000"

is the format that I'm seeing under the hood

[dougbrowning]

That works! Thanks a lot. I have a fair amount to recode but will lyk. thanks so much

Well on to the next issue. The token times out in about 2 mins "invalid_token"}']. In the TD API it would auto refresh that token.

Know anything on that?

thanks again
