TradeStation API Docs

This repo is used to document the TradeStation API using Open API Specificiation (AKA Swagger 2.0).

Purpose

• To generate rich API documentation for API consumers to discover and learn how to use the TradeStation API
• To simplify how API creators design and publish new TradeStation API's (preferably in a contract-first manner)

Getting Started

Creating documentation is easy!

Just navigate to the spec folder and edit the Open API swagger.yaml. The specification is composed using Open API Specificiation v2.0 (fka Swagger) syntax & rules. Text within description blocks use Github-flavored Markdown.

Once you are done, follow the steps below to Build & Publish.

Developer Workflow

Install

1. Install Node JS
   • Node JS 11.x or earlier version is recommended, there is a known compatibility issue with Gulp 3.x and Node 12.x (or later).
2. Clone repo and cd
   • Run npm install

Usage

1. Run npm start
2. Checkout console output to see where local server is started.
3. Make changes using your favorite editor or swagger-editor (look for URL in console output)
   • Review the [Style guide](CONTRIBUTING.md#style guide).
4. All changes are immediately propagated to your local server.
   • All documentation pages will be automagically refreshed in a browser after each change
   • TIP: you can open swagger-editor, documentation and swagger-ui in parallel
5. Once you finish with the changes you can run tests using: npm test
6. Share you changes with the rest of the world by pushing to GitHub 😄
