tda-client-example

Simple Java and Maven example of TDA Client.

git clone https://github.com/studerw/tda-client-example.git

Add your client id (customer key) and refresh token to the src/main/resources/tda-api.properties file.

Make sure you then add this file to .gitignore so you don't accidentally check in sensitive data to a public repository.

echo 'src/main/resources/tda-api.properties' >> .gitignore

To Build

mvn clean install

To Run

Run the MainExample class in your IDE. Or from the command line:

mvn exec:java -Dexec.cleanupDaemonThreads=false

On Windows, you'll probably have to add quotes to the -Dexec....

Depending on how you've configured the logback.xml file in src/main/resources, you'll end up with as little output as the following:

user@ubuntu:~/workspace/github/tda-client-example$ mvn exec:java -Dexec.cleanupDaemonThreads=false

If you see this, it means you've got an expired or otherwise incorrect OAUTH token. Take a look at the Creating a TDA Refresh Token for more information.
