Robot Framework automated OAuth proposal

[ecourreges]

Hello all, I have been happily using your lib for 9months, and happy to see you are working on the v1 which took me by surprise (got the email from ETrade only on December 4th...).
Would you be interested in my RobotFramework automation that automatically logs you in for the etrade API?
Or do you think it has nothing to do with a python api lib, or is it legally risky?
I was tired of logging in every single day for my bot to keep working in production, so I coded that, and I've saved a lot of time in 6 months thanks to that.
I may also have time to help with any market order bugs on the v1 next week, as I'll be testing the sandbox.
Regards,
Emmanuel.

Hi @ecourreges, I would like to keep pyetrade as just a python api client for etrade. I am unsure the legal ramification of automating the oauth process or if this would breach the prod API contract signed to obtain prod access from eTrade. I think it is better an app like that just interfaces with the pyetrade auth object and methods. It would be really awesome if you had some time to add some PRs to the v1 API. Currently all v1 work is being done on the dev branch. Going to start working on moving that into master since after tonight all v0 api stuff is going to be shut down.

I agree with Jesse. Putting login automation into the python API is dangerous. Leave it to the user to assume the risk of automating credentials. If there is a separate library that expressly handles automatic login, then let users grab that and implement their own personal security protocols to ensure their account is secure. Tom

Would you mind sharing auto login code?
