About yusuf8ahmed/wsimple

Wsimple is a Python API and web interface for the Wealthsimple Trade investment platform, designed to enable developers to programmatically interact with their Wealthsimple Trade accounts. The project provides a wrapper around Wealthsimple Trade's services, allowing developers to automate trading activities such as buying and selling stocks, creating deposit and withdrawal orders, executing transfers between accounts, and implementing strategies like dollar cost averaging or dividend reinvestment plans. The library was intentionally built with non-coders in mind and requires only minimal Python knowledge to get started.

The project is now in completed status and archived by its creator, meaning no new features will be added and pull requests are not being accepted. It reached version 3.0.0 and is in pre-alpha stage. The software runs locally as a personal webserver and was built with security considerations, ensuring that user data and credentials remain local and are not transmitted externally. Important to note are the rate limitations observed by users—trades exceeding seven per hour may be rejected by Wealthsimple Trade's servers—and the explicit disclaimer that the software is not affiliated with or maintained by Wealthsimple, and users assume full responsibility for their trading activity and any consequences.
