Building a TD Ameritrade API Client Library in Python: Authentication Pt. 5

The API Client has enough functionality built into it so that we can begin testing the authentication process. Let’s start by passing through our account information to initialize a new Client Session and then proceed to authentication so we can access the API.

Great videos on TD Ameritrade. Without your videos, I don't know how many nights I would have to spend on figuring them out. I am not a software engineer. It took me a lot of time to write a program for TDAPI based on its old version and fortunately, I did it. But when they changed to the new system, I really didn't want to spend so much time again on it. Thanks for your videos, at least I am standing on a very high level. I hope you will post some new videos on TD API

every video is a cliffhanger.... how many segments till we start pulling data to rebuild indicators and such?

[fma]

Can I have a question: why do we have to copy and paste the whole URL again. Can't we do it with program? Somehow I have the impression that it was done automatically in your previous videos?

Please advise.

Thanks for all the great videos and explanations. Everything works well so far, if I put the cache_state to false then I need to log in manually, the json-file is deleted. If I put the cache_state to true then I need to log in another time manually and the json file is created.

Bun then, I'm still getting logged in but not anymore authenticated. I did not change the json file. What can I do?

I always get ' 'error': 'Not Authorized.' message if I keep the "headers=merged_headers, " in the requests.get(). I don't know whether I have to keep it. I even don't know what is the use of it. I searched online still can't figure out. please advise.

With the concern of VS Code. Python it is still in development with working out the quarts. I don't know if they know of your error but when building my Django application with VS code i was getting items and objects highlighted that were right. I would maybe try running the python file in a terminal outside of VS Code
