ETradeTokenFetcherCLI

Perform auth operations (/request_token and /access_token) against the ETrade Web UI and ETrade API using a headless browser.

Install

I am not uploading this to NPM. You are free to fork and do so.

CD into src/etrade-token-fetcher-cli, npm install and you should be able to run the CLI. You could use npm link for this or you could npm pack and then install the pack globally.

Usage

ETradeAuth --help

Headless browser login to etrade, and call request_token and authorize_token.

USAGE
  $ ETradeAuth

OPTIONS
  -h, --help                           show CLI help
  -k, --consumerKey=consumerKey        (required) Consumer Key received from ETrade API access request.
  -p, --webPassword=webPassword        (required) Password used to login to ETrade Web UI.
  -s, --consumerSecret=consumerSecret  (required) Consumer Secret received from ETrade API access request.
  -u, --webUsername=webUsername        (required) Username used to login to ETrade Web UI.
  -v, --version                        show CLI version
  --noHeadless                         Show the browser during automation.

DESCRIPTION
  Use the consumer key and secret to get a request token via /request_token
  Use a headless Chromium browser to login via the ETrade web UI (THIS WILL LOG YOU OUT)
  Use a headless browser to hit /authorize endpoint using the request token and accept and grab the validation code
  Use the validation code to call /access_token

EXAMPLES
  $ ETradeAuth --webUsername "" --webPassword '' --consumerKey "" --consumerSecret ""
  $ env:DEBUG="etradeTokenFetcher"; --webUsername "" --webPassword '' --consumerKey "" --consumerSecret "" --noHeadless

Debug by setting the DEBUG environment variable. Like so: env:DEBUG="etradeTokenFetcher"

Errors

Currently the command can report the following errors

• Wrong Password
• Bot detected (error code 942 from ETrade)
• Account locked
• Request token fetch failed
• Access token request failed

Contributing

Most of the unique logic exists in a separate package included in the src directory called etrade-token-fetcher

Use the environment var DEBUG=etradeTokenFetcher to enable verbose logging. This will log sensitive data.

Notes

This was two separate repos, and I combined them into one to more easily share the code

Disclaimer

ETrade appears to be doing some really basic headless browser detection. A lot of trial and error went into subverting this. At the time of writing this README (1/4/2019) this CLI worked perfectly.

However, I can not promise this will always work, and I do not intend to offer support. I wanted to release this internal tool to the community to both help others with this task, and to also add some examples of my software to my portfolio.
