Their documentation isn’t the best and it can be difficult to use of you aren’t familiar with APIs. I would recommend checking out this repo from GitHub to get started: https://github.com/jeog/TDAmeritradeAPI

This is the best I know that is available to retail trades and it is not free. Note the TDA has a free API but they intentionally shut down the Times and sales: https://github.com/jeog/TDAmeritradeAPI/issues/21

There are various ways you can do metaprogramming in C. Ryan Fleury's Data Desk is one example of how you can do inspection and introspection: https://github.com/ryanfleury/data_desk. Writing a C program that acts as a pre-compiler for your other C code is another example; you can make your own system for generics that way for example.
