Introduction
============

The ``ib_insync`` package is build on top of the Python API
from Interactive Brokers. The objective is to make it as
easy as possible to use the API to its fullest extent.

The main features are:

* An ``IB`` component that automatically keeps in sync;
* An easy to use linear style of programming (no more callbacks);
* A fully asynchonous framework based on
  `asyncio <https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/asyncio.html>`_
  for advanced users;
* Interactive operation with live data in Jupyter notebooks.

Installation
------------

::

    pip3 install -U ib_insync

Requirements:

* Python_ version 3.6 or higher;
* The `Interactive Brokers Python API`_ version 9.73.06 or higher. If using
  Python 3.7, then comment out line 60 of ibapi/client.py that reads
  ``self.async = False``.
* A running TWS or IB gateway application (version 969 or higher).
  Make sure the
  `API port is enabled <https://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/initial_setup.html>`_
  and 'Download open orders on connection' is checked.

To install packages needed for the examples and notebooks::

    pip3 install -U jupyter numpy pandas

Example
-------

This is a complete script to download historical data:

.. code-block:: python

    from ib_insync import *
    # util.startLoop()  # uncomment this line when in a notebook

    ib = IB()
    ib.connect('127.0.0.1', 7497, clientId=1)

    contract = Forex('EURUSD')
    bars = ib.reqHistoricalData(contract, endDateTime='', durationStr='30 D',
            barSizeSetting='1 hour', whatToShow='MIDPOINT', useRTH=True)

    # convert to pandas dataframe:
    df = util.df(bars)
    print(df[['date', 'open', 'high', 'low', 'close']])

Output::

                       date      open      high       low     close
