Charles Schwab (Trader) API & R - Authentication

[@aerialresearchdevelopmenta7871]

At 1:45, the login credentials that I create in the first video of this playlist don't work here, is there another account I need to create?

[@bozo9122]

I believe that is where you login with your CS brokerage account details. The brokerage and developer accounts are not connected.

[@quantroom]

That is correct

[@lucianorahal8291]

Is it possible to use schwab's api to read level 2 data?

[@quantroom]

I don't think they have released the streamer yet, but once they do I will cover that topic.

Hi @quantRoom, small question, how much time did the application take to move to Status "Ready For Use", created an application last week and still "Approved - Pending", did you do something else for this?

[@sidhantsatapathy8603]

Also inform me ,when you get the status ready for use

[@quantroom]

It took about a week. After a few days, I emailed them so not sure if that helped speed up the process.

[@chavesjosemario]

@@quantroom now it's in the correct status

[@diwang]

Thanks. Working on my own python script, and this really helped!

[@quantroom]

Glad it helped!

@quantroom I'm not able to log in to the SWS gateway. It has been stuck for 3 days now while generating the code.

[@paulnewman2778]

same here. I have the SMS call but when i go to add it, i am sent back to the login screen

[@quantroom]

I am working on a simplified version on getting the initial tokens. I noticed there is some sort of time limit or error if I close my browser when copying the response URL into the R-script. Not sure if closing the browser closes the connection with our local host, so just copy the URL and leave the browser open. I will share the simplified version this week.

I am getting the following error "We are unable to complete your request. Please contact customer support for further assistance." any ideas? Thank you.

[@dtconsultations]

Also, what application do you use to run the Rscript. Thank you again.

[@HitenGal-nv7is]

Have you got any solution for this?? I'm getting the same error

[@dtconsultations]

@@HitenGal-nv7is Yes, it's fixed. You have to have your app ready, and the login to the developer site is different from the login to authentication. for authentication, you use your Schwab account login credentials.

[@quantroom]

Thanks for clarifying.

[@quantroom]

I am working on a simplified version on this initial token generation. I will share it this week.

[@jcenmiami]

How do you re-authenticate to get a new Bearer token. I used to be able to do it automatically through TD Ameritrade. What was the link look like? Thank you for the video.

[@quantroom]

The checkAccessToken function checks if we need a new one and renews it automatically if needed. This is done within the 7-day window.

[@sportsbesthighlightschanne1052]

Thanks Jason, Can this be done using Java ?

[@quantroom]

I believe so, you just have to keep the same overall scheme the same.

[@larryintampa836]

thanks! sure wish they'd open up quotes using just an App ID like TDA did

[@quantroom]

Yeah, few changes to the API, I am hoping they keep the streaming the same.

[@lucasgodeiro9072]

Thanks. Awesome

[@dmdm9269]

anybody has equivalent in C#?

[@quantroom]

Let me know 👀
