Establishing the Websocket with OAuth | Interactive Brokers

The process for those authenticating with OAuth is similar, though slightly different. In addition to the API cookie, you must also include the “oauth_token” query param which should be set to the user’s access token value.

Python

Generic

1 ws = websocket.WebSocketApp(
2   url="wss://api.ibkr.com/v1/api/ws?oauth_token={accessToken}",
3   on_open=on_open,
4   on_message=on_message,
5   on_error=on_error,
6   on_close=on_close,
7   cookie=f"api={sessionToken}"

9 ws.run_forever()
