This is a Pyhton based API using selenium and requests to get information from the trading212 Platform, please note that either myself or trading212 take responsibility for the outcomes related to the uses of this API.
I will continue to work on this project and would appriciate any feedback.

pip install apit212
to start using this API you will first need to login to the account using apit212 you will then be able to use all the functions and create your own trading bot or use it to scarpe data from the trading212 platform.
from apit212 import *
api = Apit212()
api.setup(username="flock92@account.api", password="pass******", mode="demo")from apit212 import *
api = Apit212()
api.setup(username="flock92@account.api", password="pass******", mode="live")It's good practice to set up an env file to save sensitive informaton like your user name or password. Here is a useful link .env
USER=flock92@account.api
PASS=password123
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from apit212 import *
import os
load_dotenv('.env')
username: str = os.getenv('USER')
password: str = os.getenv('PASS')
api = Apit212()
api.setup(username="flock92@account.api", password="pass******", mode="demo")This API is useless without the correct ticker symbol so i've got a solution.
from apit212 import Tickers
ticker = Tickers()
print(ticker.fetch_symbols(symbol='META'))
print(ticker.find_by_name(full_name='tesla'))There is quite a bit of data to read through but the key you are after is ticker this will return the symbol used by the trading212 platform.
[{'ticker': 'FB', 'type': 'STOCK', 'currency': 'USD', 'shortName': 'META', 'fullName': 'Meta Platforms', 'description': 'Meta Platforms Inc', 'minTrade': 0.1, 'digitsPrecision': 2, 'exchangeId': 68, 'tradable': True, 'underlyingInstrumentTicker': 'FB_US_EQ', 'underlyingLeverageCoefficient': 1.0, 'dealerExclusions': [], 'maxOpenLong': 1121, 'leverage': '1:5', 'insignificantDigits': 0, 'baseTicker': nan, 'expiryDate': nan, 'minTradeSizeCoefficient': 10.0, 'isin': 'US30303M1027', 'countryOfOrigin': 'US', 'quantityPrecision': 1.0, 'priorityIndex': 25.0, 'maxTrade': nan, 'conditionalVisibility': nan, 'suspended': nan}]

from apit212 import Tickers
ticker = Tickers()
meta = ticker.fetch_symbols(symbol='META')
print(len(meta))
print(meta[0]['ticker'])finding a ticker using the widely used ticker will often return 1 result but on some occasions you may get multiple results so its good practice to check the len of the string returned.
