questrade_api

Python3 Questrade API Wrapper

Installation

• Use pip/pip3:

  pip3 install questrade-api

Getting Started

1. Familiarise yourself with the Security documentation for the Questrade API.

2. Generate a manual refresh token for your application.

3. Init the API Wrapper with the refresh token:

   from questrade_api import Questrade
   q = Questrade(refresh_token='XYz1dBlop33lLLuys4Bd')
   

   Important: A token will be created at ~/.questrade.json and used for future API calls

   • If the token is valid future initiations will not require a refresh token

   from questrade_api import Questrade
   q = Questrade()
