Any success with unofficial Robinhood API?

Spencer Current

posted Aug 23, 2017

I know this isn't directly Quantopian related, but given recent events I felt this was acceptable. Unless, someone can point me to a more appropriate place.

I've seen some talk about the unofficial Robinhood API here: Robinhood API. I'm a senior college student and have some beginners level coding experience, and just now dipped my pinky toe into the water of using linux. I've been able to connect to robinhood services and pull some data, but haven't been able to establish a connection with my account. Does anyone have experience using this API that could provide some assistance?

I've been successful so far in my endeavors using it. Is this still something in which you're interested?

I'm am still using it. I have an algo running presently but looking to dip into the crypto market once my account gets approved for Robinhood's crypto.

Hello, I'm interested in the Robinhood API and connect an account to that Broker. I need some guidelines to start with this, as I have experience in backtesting but not live trading. Can you give some guide on using the Robinhood API to trade??

Thanks!
