rbapi

A nodejs library for trading stocks on Robinhood.

This library strives for ease of use. The calls to Robinhood's api have been abstracted so you only need to care about the stock symbol, the price and the quantity.

Features

• Get user and account information
• Get stock quote
• Place a buy order
• Place a sell order
• Automatically renew the access token so you only have to login once

Installing

Using Npm:

$ npm install rbapi --save

Example

Initialize

const rbapi = require('rbapi');

(async function() {

    /*
        You will need to provide the username and password.
        The deviceToken is a bit difficult to get but here's how you do that:
            1. Open the chrome browser
            2. Go to robinhood.com
            3. Log out if you are already logged in to robinhood
            4. Open up the developer tool
            5. Navigate to the Network tab
            6. Click on the clear icon to clear the network history
            7. Log in to your robinhood account
            8. In the filter box type in oauth
            9. Look for the POST method in the list for /oauth2/
            10. You will find the deviceToken in the request payload
     */
    let robinhood =  await rbapi.create({
        username: 'username@email.com',
