Third-Party OAuth Integration

API Developers
8

I’ve made progress on several fronts:

  • I opened live account with $1000
  • I need to purchase the $25/month API access
  • I’m planning on just leaving the balance in the account to maintain API eligibility (hoping there’s no inactivity fees!)

OAuth Application Process: I reached out directly to Tradovate support about obtaining OAuth credentials (client_id, client_secret, redirect_uri).

They said that OAuth credentials are only issued to approved NinjaTrader Ecosystem partners. And there is a formal application and review process required. It’s not just paying the $25/month API fee and generating creds yourself.

So my path forward is:

  • subscribe to API access, investigate what i can do
  • apply to NinjaTrader Ecosystem as third-party dev (if I truly have to)
  • get approved and received OAuth creds
  • start building integration

In the meantime, I’ve been building out the MVP and found these helpful :

@tikidave - Did you have to go through the NinjaTrader Ecosystem application process for TikiTrade? And any insights on avoiding the CME data feed costs for basic real-time P&L tracking? Or is that handled with Websockets?

Will keep this thread updated as I progress through the application process!
