Does anyone have experience developing a wrapper or client in Mathematica for interfacing with an asynchronous REST API that also requires token authentication? In particular, I want to communicate with the TD Ameritrade API which would allow for the reception of real time streaming financial data o…

Hi Kerry, I am working on this also. The first step is to obtain the your token from TD, which is quite an involved process. I tried many guides, but this one is by far the best. Reddit I have this working in Mathamatica now. It is a bit complicated as the TD token needs to be refreshed every 30…

Josh: Please post when you have a solution. I skimmed through the reddit link you provided. It is good that it lead you to a solution path. However, that quick look tells me that there is something a bit convoluted (but if it works? it works!). The parts that are of concern is going to another sit…

I was in communication with someone in Europe associated with Wolfram Research’s external API team. He provided the following tips: What you need basically is URLRead. What kind of token authorization? If it’s just a token parameter, add that to your HTTPRequest. If it’s OAuth, just SecuredAuthenti…

Additionally TD provided the following little bit of information: A callback URL is something you assign to your application during the application registration process. If your application is local to your computer, you can use a locally hosted callback URL like https://127.0.0.1:8080 .

Also there are several very good videos on YouTube describing detailed TD API interface wrappers developed in Python including links to Git Hub where the complete code can be downloaded. I suppose if we could simply use Mathematica to make the calls to the TD API via the provided Python code that ma…

Josh, any relation to Ross Cameron of Warrior Trading and YouTube fame? I think he has the most views of anyone on YouTube discussing day trading. [Ultimate Day Trading Strategy Guide 📚🍏for Beginners] Here is the link to the TD API site for developers: https://developer.tdameritrade.c…

One other note. The Tasty Works / Tasty Trade platform is owned and was/is developed by the original people from Think or Swim (Tom Sosnoff and company) which was sold to TD several years ago. They will be providing an API to the Tasty Works platform in the coming weeks which is supposed to be much…

Hi Guys, I have attached the TD wrapper. It could be improved a lot, but it will give you a great flavor of what you can do. I would think of it mainly as a good way of testing out a proof of concept, rather than something you could trade with at this point. https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/62db…

Hi Kerry
There was this Community post some years ago about how to access a TD-Ameritrade account use URLFetch, which has now been superseded by URLRead and URLExecute. See how to use URLfetch for use with http post
