place_order returns 405 error

[acelearns]

Here's my code,

from webull import webull
wb._access_token = "XX"
print(wb.place_order("NVOS", action="BUY", quant=1))

it throws this error

I have same issue. Anyone else have order issues?

[ICANTFINDAUSERNAMEATALL]

Usually 405 error has something to do with not having the funds to place the trade or you just can't place it.

1. You might be trying to do options but don't have it enabled
2. It could be outside trading hours
3. If your trying to sell an option, you don't have enough capital to cover the contract(it might go ITM)
4. You don't have any settled cash to do trades with

There might be other reasons but those were what happened to me with the 405 errors.

print(wb.place_order("NVOS", action="BUY", quant=1))

For this, you need to have a limit price or update the ordertype so that its MKT. Your trying to place a limit order of 1 share of NVOS at an undefined price.

You could try:

wb.place_order("NVOS", action="BUY", quant=1, orderType = "MKT")

or

wb.place_order("NVOS", action="BUY", quant=1, price = 50) # update the price to the limit price you want

Can you buy shares at all? Try to place an order to buy a share of a penny stock. If it still causes that error, can you send your code over and a screenshot of the error?

We tried to buy a few different stocks. As Market buys. We tried on a 2 dollar stock just to buy a single share, during market hours and as a mkt buy, and still no luck. We will keep trying and will try to see what we can do. Everything else is working besides placing orders. Thank you very much for replying sir. We will try tomorrow and reach back out then to see if we have found a solution. God bless.

[webullstocktrader]

All cash is settled. And just trying to be shares, not options.

[ICANTFINDAUSERNAMEATALL]

Did you login to webull and set your device id? Heres an example of how to do it:

from webull import webull
wb = webull()

# SET YOUR DID
wb._set_did("whatever your device id is") # If you haven't "verified" your device, get a verifified did from webull.
# to get did: inspect, network, refresh webull's page, open up any package that is sent and look for the did in the request headers

print(wb.login(email, pw, "my pc lol")) # should print out a long list of info. You can ignore this
print(wb.get_trade_token(code)) # enter you trading 6 digit number here

print(wb.get_account()) # this should print your account info. If you aren't logged in, this will return an error I think

# you should be able to place orders now

Lmk how it goes.

@ICANTFINDAUSERNAMEATALL Thanks for the reply!

Here is my exact code i have now.

from webull import paper_webull, webull
from credentials import WEBULL_USERNAME, WEBULL_PASSWORD

wb = webull()
wb._did = "XX"
wb._access_token = "XX"

ac = wb.get_account()
print(ac) # im able to get account info

wb._trade_token = "XX"

p = wb.place_order("UNCY",
                   action="BUY",
                   quant=2,
                   orderType="MKT",
                   enforce="DAY")
print(p)

i have enough amount to buy in account

The error is exactly same mentioned above, i tried to print the response in webull's place order function and it printed <Response 405>

[ICANTFINDAUSERNAMEATALL]

Use the code I showed in the previous message. Lets get the order function working first before moving on to using the access token.

try:

from webull import webull
wb = webull()

wb._set_did("whatever your device id is") # If you haven't "verified" your device, get a verifified did from webull.

print(wb.login(email, pw, "webull api, you can put whatever here"))
print(wb.get_trade_token(code))

print(wb.get_account())

You are just setting stuffing the information into the webull object and then not doing anything with it. You need to login and the "get_trade_token" function to actually run it.

It seems like you don't really know the difference between modifying the variables in an object and calling an object's functions. Make sure you understand this because it seems like your just copying/pasting code but you don't really know whats going on. Just google this or ask chat gpt.

i know, i have already tried that but by using access token i was able to login and get some info, if i try wb.login method it returns following error

{'msg': 'Fail to verify image verification code.', 'traceId': 'XX', 'code': 'user.check.slider.pic.fail'}
False
{'msg': 'AccessToken is expire', 'traceId': 'XX', 'code': 'auth.token.expire', 'data': {}, 'success': False}

And I went through some similar issues before but none of them helped thats why i was doing it this way.

how do i even fix the image verification?

[ICANTFINDAUSERNAMEATALL]

366 Solved here.

Theres been like this same issue come up like 3-4 times already. I'll write up a quick summary on how to get the did.

Hey, thanks for that! I was not able to login by did method yesterday but now it seems working,

I'm able to login and getting account info by did method but there is another issue, while placing order

{'msg': 'Your session has expired, please login again.', 'traceId': 'XX', 'code': 'trade.token.expire', 'data': {'lock': xx, 'retry': -2}, 'success': False}

I re-logged in on browser but its the same error, now

[ICANTFINDAUSERNAMEATALL]

Don't do any of this:

wb._did = "XX"
wb._access_token = "XX"

When you run the login function, it will automatically generate the access token for you instead of using an old one. Just set the did and login.

As you said, here is my code,

wb = webull()

wb._set_did(
    "XX"
)  
wb.login(WEBULL_USERNAME, WEBULL_PASSWORD, "webull api")
wb.get_trade_token("XX")

q = wb.get_account()
print(q)
p = wb.place_order("UNCY", action="BUY", quant=1, orderType="MKT")
print(p)

Session is expiring somehow, here is the error

{'msg': 'Your session has expired, please login again.', 'traceId': 'XX', 'code': 'trade.token.expire', 'data': {'lock': xx, 'retry': -2}, 'success': False}

https://github.com/tedchou12/webull/wiki/Workaround-for-Login-Method-2

I wrote a quick summary of the new workaround. lmk if anything is confusing.

[acelearns]

Yeah, thanks for that. I already did that. can you check the above comment by me?

[ICANTFINDAUSERNAMEATALL]

Try getting a new did? Hmm... after I updated my did manually this way, it worked.

I was typing up the response while you were sending yours lmao

[acelearns]

its the same did 💀 it did create a did.bin file and i used wb._did = "didhere" but that didnt work either

[ICANTFINDAUSERNAMEATALL]

Hmmm... I get the same thing as well when I completely delete the did and used a new one.

I'll see what I can do. I just used a previous did and it just worked out for me. Theres probably another new verification ugh

[ICANTFINDAUSERNAMEATALL]

I just got it to work. Did you login to webull web?

This is the exact code I used:

from webull import webull
from creds import code, email, pw

wb = webull()

wb._set_did("did here")

print(wb.login(email, pw))

print(wb.get_trade_token(code))

print(wb.get_account())

print(wb.get_account())

Yeah bro, im able to log in but can't place order

[acelearns]

place order function is returning {'msg': 'Your session has expired, please login again.', 'traceId': 'XX', 'code': 'trade.token.expire', 'data': {'lock': xx, 'retry': -2}, 'success': False}

despite that, im able to get account info as well but just cant place order

[acelearns]

oh well, I got it working, I was using the wrong trade token , Now everything is working including placing order,

Thank you for the help. @ICANTFINDAUSERNAMEATALL it meant a lot to me!

[acelearns]

A question, will this did or whatever thing expire and will i have to go through the manual login process again? If yes how to avoid that and keep the script running forever?

[tedchou12]

no did don't expire as far as I know. As for the trade token, I think it is configured in your App, you can adjust the trade token expire duration. For access token, it will expire (24 hours if I remembered correctly), so you will have to use your refresh token to update your access token.

Will I need to use an access token any further or does it just expire every 24hrs and I'll need to update it, While I'm using the wb.login with did method?

[tedchou12]

this is the way to update your accesstoken

fh = open('webull_credentials.json', 'r')
credential_data = json.load(fh)
fh.close()

wb._refresh_token = credential_data['refreshToken']
wb._access_token = credential_data['accessToken']
wb._token_expire = credential_data['tokenExpireTime']
wb._uuid = credential_data['uuid']

n_data = wb.refresh_login()

credential_data['refreshToken'] = n_data['refreshToken']
credential_data['accessToken'] = n_data['accessToken']
credential_data['tokenExpireTime'] = n_data['tokenExpireTime']

file = open('webull_credentials.json', 'w')
json.dump(credential_data, file)
file.close()

# important to get the account_id
wb.get_account_id()

[acelearns]

Alright, thank you so much! That was helpful
