I am using the IBrokers API in R to try to download my current positions in my portfolio on Interactive Brokers. However, I'm having trouble downloading the information by following the API documentation.
I can get this far with the following. This downloads my account information, but it's not a desireable format.
tws <- twsConnect()
reqAccountUpdates(tws)
I trade using the following, but it doesn't work.
twsPortfolioValue(tws)
Ideally, I want a data frame that has the following fields: ticker, shares, execution price.
Is anyone familiar with this API?
Thank you!
You're passing a twsconn object to twsPortfolioValue, but the function needs the output of reqAccountUpdates as its input, as explained in the Details section of ?twsPortfolioValue
Try this:
ac <- reqAccountUpdates(tws)
twsPortfolioValue(ac)
