Please see https://easyib.readthedocs.io for the full documentation.

Notable functionality includes:

• Pull account info, portfolio, cash balance, net value
• Pull market historical data
• Submit, modify, cancel orders
• Get order status, list of live orders
• Ping (tickle) server, get authentication status, re-authenticate

EasyIB assumes a gateway session is active and authenticated. Follow instructions at https://interactivebrokers.github.io/cpwebapi/ for authentication. A custom package such as Voyz/IBeam can be also used for setting up an active session. Part Time Larry has an excellent youtube tutorial on this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1OhiiCx6Ho.

EasyIB was developed under the Voyz/Ibeam docker image environment.

Once a gateway session is running, pip command can be used to install EasyIB:

pip install easyib

import easyib

api = easyib.REST()

bars = api.get_bars("AAPL", period="1w", bar="1d")
print(bars)

list_of_orders = [
    {
        "conid": api.get_conid("AAPL"),
        "orderType": "MKT",
        "side": "BUY",
        "quantity": 7,
        "tif": "GTC",
    }
]

order = api.submit_orders(list_of_orders)
print(order)

By default, EasyIB assumes the gateway session is open at https://localhost:5000 withtout a SSL certificate. A custom url and SSL certificate can be set by:

api = easyib.REST(url="https://localhost:5000", ssl=False)
