CommSec trading interface for node.js
Copyright 2016-2018 Adam Nielsen <[email protected]>
This is a node.js interface to the CommSec mobile API. It was created by deciphering the calls made by the Android app.
While the older v0.1 of this library used screen-scraping, v0.2 has been rewritten to use only the mobile API, which is much faster and more reliable. Unlike v0.1, little attempt has been made to abstract the API into a generic interface so there is now only a lightweight wrapper around the API calls.
What is supported?
- Login: via password or PIN.
- Watchlists: retrieval with prices.
- Live data: arbitrary lists of stocks via polling only (API limitation). The CommSec app polls once a second.
- Holdings: list stocks owned, purchase price, etc.
- Order status and history: See pending, executed and cancelled orders.
- Trading: Orders can be placed and cancelled, but this is not well tested yet.
What is not yet supported?
- Market-sensitive announcements.
- These can be detected through the watchlists already but there's no method to get further info yet.
What will not be supported?
There are no plans to support these features, however patches are welcome should anyone wish to add support themselves.
- Portfolio.
- Banking.
