robin-stocks
A Python wrapper around the Robinhood API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, with conditions. The package is well-maintained enough for learning and experimentation—it has 2109 stars and recent commits—but the 453-day gap since the last release and aging maintenance status suggest it may lag behind broker API changes. Use it for personal projects, backtesting, and algorithmic trading, but verify that the specific broker APIs you need are still functional before deploying to production. No known security vulnerabilities.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later.
- Authentication with Robinhood, Gemini, or TD Ameritrade requires API credentials and may require two-factor authorization setup.
- Low install friction with four common dependencies (requests, pyotp, python-dotenv, cryptography).

What it is and what it does
Robin-stocks is a Python wrapper that abstracts the APIs of three major financial platforms—Robinhood, Gemini, and TD Ameritrade—into a unified interface. It lets you query real-time stock, options, and cryptocurrency data, retrieve account information, and execute trades programmatically without writing direct HTTP calls to each broker's API.
The library is designed for developers building trading algorithms, robo-investors, or financial analysis tools. It depends on requests for HTTP communication, pyotp for two-factor authentication, python-dotenv for credential management, and cryptography for secure operations. The package requires Python 3.9 or later and installs with low friction.
Use it for
- Build a robo-investor that automatically rebalances a portfolio across stocks and crypto on a schedule.
- Fetch real-time cryptocurrency prices from Gemini and trigger alerts or trades based on technical indicators.
- Retrieve historical price data from TD Ameritrade to backtest trading strategies before deploying them.
- Monitor open orders and account positions across Robinhood without logging into the web interface.
- Aggregate market data from multiple brokers into a single dashboard or analysis tool.
