Robinhood API Unofficial Documentation

Few days ago saw a post(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15994312) on how every developer should automate and robinhood really made me excited. As there was no official API documentation and not easy way to kick start your algorithm trading I decided to convert Sanko's documentation (https://github.com/sanko/Robinhood) into open api specification which is already a wonderful work.

This repository presents the unofficial api document in swagger specification (open api) https://swagger.io/ which lets us to generate the api client on your preffered language to consume the api.

Code Gen

You can directly use the robinhood.json or robinhood.yaml file to generate a api client using https://editor.swagger.io/

Or you can just the codegen service to generate the code for you using the api . Document can be found here https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen#customizing-the-generator

I generated the client as follows Url to post , type application/json https://generator.swagger.io/api/gen/clients/{language}

https://generator.swagger.io/api/gen/clients/java

{
"options":{
    "groupId":"com.kalki",
    "artifactId":"robinhood-cli",
    "artifactVersion":"0.0.1",
    "library":"feign",
    "dateLibrary":"java8"
},     
"swaggerUrl":"https://github.com/sabareeshkkanan/robinhood/releases/download/0.3/robinhood.json"
}

And i got a one time url back to download the generated client

Spring boot and Spring Fox is used to generate the swagger specification.
