So I've read through the post below:
https://www.reddit.com/r/options/comments/8l3y35/tastyworks_api/
and through the linked github/pypi package.
https://github.com/boyan-soubachov/tastyworks_api
Much thanks to the developer for getting this started, as it doesn't seem that TW is likely to have a public api any time soon. While the api linked above grabs option chains and places orders well, I can't figure out how to get live option prices for placing limit trades. I've looked through android app traffic as well as web app traffic and can't find any resp with price information in it. Any ideas how/where the app gets its prices for the option chains and how to access this information?
Inspecting the webapp I found the price information in html in the table, so it is possible that it could be scraped, but this seems like a messy solution and likely a last resort. Additionally, I'm not sure how get the html data as the resp is just json. Is it possible that the html is embedded somehow/somewhere else?
Any thoughts or experience would this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
