  • interactive-broker-python-api

    A python packaged used to interact with the Interactive Brokers REST API.

  • It's pretty clear that the Client Portal API in concert with this library, looks easy to work with from a developer's standpoint. But based on comments here from the past few months it appears that it can be flaky. So much so that a user here created a library to try to maintain the connection. But yesterday I managed to successfully stream market data for a single contract for about an hour with no issues.

  • ib_insync

    Discontinued Python sync/async framework for Interactive Brokers API

  • The other option would be to use IBGateway. I also recall that there are utilities to manage login with IBGateway as well. The problem here is that I had a look at the IB python API and it seems awful. But perhaps ib_insync solves most of those issues? I did all this research a while back and seem to recall that ib_insync doesn't rely on the IB python code at all, right?
