Save Login info #7

Closed TobyDai closed 11 years ago

TobyDai commented 11 years ago

Is there anyway I can edit the code to save all my login info, so it will log in automatically as soon as I run it? Security is not an issue.

Thank You!

this is my first time touching python, so I'm still trying to understand how everything works...

That's a good idea. I think I'll add some options to the command line for username, password and investing settings.

I've just pushed a new update that should handle this for you. Instead of saving the password, you can pass it on the command line. You can also pass a JSON config which will bypass all the prompts. Read the new section of the README to see how this works. You can then wrap that command in a batch file or something, if you want.

I'm considering this a beta release (1.5b) and haven't updated the pip distribution yet. So install it straight from the github sources and let me know if it works for you.

I decided against saving the password to file because I'm afraid of any edge cases that might save it to file accidentally for users who don't want it to.

On a side note, I've started a new repo where I'm extracting the LendingClub API to a standalone module that can be used in other projects. This will make it much more logical and easy to follow.

Cheers.
