Viaduct | A Trading212 Python REST API

Viaduct is a Python REST API wrapper that utilises Trading212's REST API that normally communciates exclusively with first party apps. This has not been offically released publicly but can be reverse-engineered.

Selenium is used to scrape required cookies and customer data from the web app but is no longer required after this point. REST network calls are used enabling greater functionallity and speed than pure web scraping.

The use of a wrapper ensures any API changes in the future will not impact pre-existing Trading212 dependeant programs as the wrapper itself can be updated instead of the underlying code.

Prerequisites

• Firefox if not in default location, an error will be returned upon runtime.
• The Selenium Gecko driver will automatically install if not in system path, no manual installation is requried!

Installation

Pip install out now!

pip install viaduct

Import and Usage

Viaduct is an API wrapper. API responses are returned python dictionaries, see the root tree images for more information. Selenium web scrapping modes extend the public class methods so it does not need to be recreated.

Examples are the payloads that the Rest API returns, these are returned as Python dictionaries for your convenience

Remember to disable 2-factor authentification and store passwords securely!

Usage Key

See below for currently implemented API class methods, these are explained further below

Public Mode

Retrieve publicly available information on companies and their financial information, utilises Trading212's unpublished private REST API no Selenium or web scrapping is required!

Symbols can be optionally loaded at startup, this will take approxuimately 30 seconds, this is requried for symbol reference conversion.

Symbol reference conversion refers to being able to use an instruments shortName, longName, ISIN (International Securities Identification Number), or ticker. These are referred to in the Trading212 API and can be converted to one another through the use of helper functions. Code refers to the ticker identifier, name is a shorthand of the pretty name.

instance = Public(loadSymbols=False)

ISA Mode

Selenium powered wrapper for management of an ISA account, real mode only

If Firefox is not installed in default folder, make sure you pass the installed path upon initialisation:

instance = ISA("email", "password", browserPath=r"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", loadSymbols=False)

Equity Mode

Selenium powered wrapper for management of an Equity account, real or demo modes are supported

If Firefox is not installed in default folder, make sure you pass the installed path upon initialisation:

instance = Equity("email", "password", reality=Reality.Real, browserPath=r"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", loadSymbols=False)

CFD Mode

Selenium powered wrapper for management of CFD account, real or demo modes are supported

Custom methods for CFD are not yet supported and only return Public API calls

If Firefox is not installed in default folder, make sure you pass the installed path upon initialisation:

instance = CFD("email", "password", reality=Reality.Real, browserPath=r"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", loadSymbols=False)

API Class Methods

1 - getInstrument() has been removed, use instrument search instead

2 - getAllInstruments() - Get all securities on Trading212!

instance.getAllInstruments()

This returns all the securities on Trading212 Equity and ISA, some tickers are also reused by CFD but the lists have been seperated as of 01/04/2021

3 - getFundamentals() - Get company fundamentals

instance.getFundamentals(isin="US36467W1099")

Takes an isin, returns a requested companies details

Example result here

4 - getMinMax() - Get min and max position sizes

instance.getMinMax(ticker="GYMl_EQ")

Takes a company ticker. Gets minBuy, maxBuy, minSell, maxSell values in £, maxSellQuantity is number of shares. Not sure what sellThreshold is. The sell parameters only appear for UK stocks for some reason.

Example result here

5 - getSettings() - Get position trade settings

instance.getSettings(ticker="BOOHl_EQ")

Takes instrument ticker, returns maxBuy and maxSell in shares for the account and max buy and sell that is technically possible on the exchange, also has minTrade and if the instrument is suspended.

Example result here

6 - getChartData() - Get instrument chart data

instance.getChartData(ticker="TSLA", chartPeriod=ChartPeriod.D1, number=5)

Takes an instrument ticker, called 'name' when getInstrument() is called, returns a dictionary of data that is normally exclusively displayed on price charts. also takes period and number of most recent data points to return

Example result here

7 - getPortfolioPerformance() - Gets the account performance graph data

instance.getPortfolioPerformance(historyPeriod=HistoryTimeframe.Y1):

This returns the account portfolio performance graph data that is displayed in the top left of the new app, takes a HistoryPeriod enumeration
