Algorithm not connecting to robinhood

Robinhood's status page says everything is operational. When I type in my password I get to the screen that prompts for permission details.

However, when I continue, I just get a generic error that says the algorithm could not connect to robinhood. I redeployed the algorithm and still get the error, so its not like the deployment got in a bad state.

I have to ask... how come whenever there is a hic-up we have to log in again? Can't the OAuth token be saved for later...?

working now

Hi James,

I'm glad to hear that you managed to connect now. Robinhood had an issue on their end that caused OAuth problems for some accounts. They resolved the issue a few hours ago. In the future, I would recommend emailing in to [email protected] for live trading or broker connection issues as we can better assist you through email with this type of problem.

thanks, it was 11 pm PST last night when i noticed the issue. fortunately i was able to log in before my algo made its first trade, so nothing was affected.

Me too! I had the same problem about a week ago. I tried over and over and it eventually worked. I also opened a support case but I don't think they found anything.

I'm still having this problem.
