API to make requests to the TD Ameritrade Site. You need a TD Ameritrade account for this to work.

Steps for Authenticating your App: Go to https://developer.tdameritrade.com/,

  1. Create an app on the developer site

    • redirect_uri = your callback url
    • consumer_key = provided by TD Developer site in your app
    • username = TD Ameritrade account (not developer site)
