       x=document.getElementsByTagName('script');for(i of x){y=i.innerText.match(/(?<=clientId: ").[^"]+/);if(y!=null){console.log(y[0])}}

      • The output will be your device token, save this
    • Enter your credentials in the prompt

Contributing

• To contribute, please submit a pull request!
• If making changes to the API, run npm run test and confirm all tests are working
• Include tests for new methods in src/tests/test.coffee
• NOTE: If the method actually buys or sells anything, please add test logic to ensure testing is only allowed AFTER market close, do not allow tests before market open to ensure a queued order isn't accidentally filled. Please also ensure that the test amounts are ridiculous bids/asks that could not possibly be filled anyways, I.E. a deep-itm AMZN option for $0.01.
