Detailed information and code examples on obtaining auth tokens from Etrade to make trades and do other account operations.
- MacOS, cURL, Node 20, Etrade account enrolled in API
npm run api:build
To watch files while developing do npm run start
npm run api:offline
This will spawn nodemon and watch changes to all built Typescript, then reboot the SLS offline server.
The server will run on port 8000 by default.
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/auth
This should launch Chrome to the Etrade login. If it doesn't open the url from the response in a browser.
An agreement will display, click the 'Accept' button.
A 5-digit code will be revealed, example PK2Q3. Use this code in one final cURL request to get the session tokens:
Look at the console log for the green cURL output, find the __CODE__ line and replace it with the code from above.
It should look something like this:
curl -d '{"code":"__CODE__","key":"encoded-key","secret":"encoded-secret"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:8000/auth
Make that request and voila! You will see an access token and secret in the console, a URL encoded version of each.

- Automatically append tokens to all subseeuqnt requests
- Automatically login with auth details from .env file
- Deployment documentation and examples
Example of the fun things you may persue with this. Just remember: nobody is correct 100%.
