RobinhoodCpp

A cross platform C++ framework for trading/autotrading using Robinhood (includes support for two-factor authentication required by Robinhood).

Prerequisites

This C++ framework depends on the following libraries

• nlohmann json https://github.com/nlohmann/json
• zlib https://zlib.net/ or https://github.com/madler/zlib
• curl https://curl.haxx.se or https://github.com/curl/curl

Quick Start

We can use package manager vcpkg to install the above libraries.

1. Download & install vcpkg as given at https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/. (If you already had vcpkg, make sure you upgrade to the latest version as old version may give problems).

2. Use vcpkg to install nlohmann-json
   PS> .\vcpkg install nlohmann-json
   Linux:~/$ ./vcpkg install nlohmann-json

3. Use vcpkg to install zlib (Install zlib before you install curl)
   PS> .\vcpkg install zlib
   Linux:~/$ ./vcpkg install zlib

4. Use vcpkg to install curl
   PS> .\vcpkg install curl
   Linux:~/$ ./vcpkg install curl

5. Download/Clone RobinhoodCpp from github.

6. Build RobinhoodCpp.lib Assuming you are in the directory which has CMakeLists.txt.
   mkdir build; cd build
   cmake .. "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<PATH_TO_VCPKG>/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
   PS> msbuild RobinhoodCpp.sln. (This will create RobinhoodCpp.lib in build/Debug as can be seen in output logs on the screen)
   Linux:~/$ make

Build Example

1. cd docs

2. mkdir buildExample; cd buildExample

3. cmake .. "-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<Path_to_RobinhoodCpp>/RobinhoodCpp”

4. PS>MSBuild.exe .\Example.sln (This will create example.exe in buildExample/Debug )
   Linux:~/$ make
