Hello, my goal is to use Robinhood as my brokerage account through quant connect.
I have been struggling to import the robin_stocks library from PyPi. Does anyone know how to do this or has found a way to instal it a different way.
I am very new to coding and can't seem to figure this out.
Thank you
Alexandre Catarino
Hi Antonio Tuminello ,
QuantConnect would be happy to support Robinhood. This request has been made for years, but, unfortunately, we cannot attend it because Robinhood doesn't provide an official API. QuantConnect cannot rely on one of the several unofficial versions like robin_stocks.
We cannot add robin_stocks to our supported libraries simply because it wouldn't work, since we don't allow external communications that are not made by QuantConnect/Lean for security reasons.
As an alternative, you can use Lean-CLI where we can install robin_stocks. In this case, however, you won't be able to use QuantConnect's data feed. You can use IQFeed instead.
