open-trading-api

Why we included this project

Korea Investment & Securities publishes this repo as the official Python sample collection for its KIS Open API, with working examples for domestic and overseas stocks, bonds, ETFs, futures, and options. The real value is the structure: small single-function snippets sit alongside fuller product-level recipes that show real order placement, market data retrieval, and account management. A visual strategy builder and a backtester round it out, so you can design a signal and check it against historical data before pointing anything at a live account. Authentication helpers and websocket examples smooth the early setup, and the llms.txt file makes the repo easier for AI coding agents to navigate, which is handy if you are experimenting with LLM-assisted trading. One caveat: this is broker sample code, not a maintained trading platform, so treat it as a reference and stress-test whatever you build on top of it.
