IbPy is a third-party Python wrapper for the Interactive Brokers trading API, letting Python programs connect to TWS or IB Gateway to fetch market data and submit orders. It is now largely superseded by Interactive Brokers' official Python API, except for Python 2 users.
Use cases
- connect python to interactive brokers
- submit stock and futures orders programmatically
- fetch live ticker data from TWS
- build an automated trading bot with IB
- use interactive brokers API from python 2
When to choose
- you must use Python 2 with Interactive Brokers
- you maintain legacy code already built on IbPy
When to avoid
- you use Python 3 - prefer the official IB Python API
- you need actively maintained or supported software
