This repository serves as an example on how to use the gmail API with Python.

NOTE: I made a Robinhood API example, why? Robinhood does not offer an official API and offers no developer support, we are forced to live with that? Robinhood is also raising commission fees, making their platform less ideal. I made this as a statement.

On the bright side, other methods such as headleass browsers have been used for the past decade to get around these un-developer-friendly plots, and many useful unofficial APIs were made avaiable thanks to that.

In order to run this code, you need to have a gmail account to receive the emails from [email protected]. I would recommend setting up automatic email forwarding, and I will show you an example how. Let's get started.

1. Set up Gmail forwarding.
   • In Gmail, set up filter messages from "[email protected]"
   • Forward to annother new email (For Increased Security)
     • You can also choose: archive, label, etc. (you won't necessary need to read them in this email anymore)
2. Sign in to the new email account.
   • See the Robinhood emails
3. Follow the Gmail API instructions to receive file credentials.json
4. Run Python Script to RETURN Trade confirmations from the emails.
   • (bonus feature for you to make:) Deploy it as a cloud service in the background to be triggered when you get a new gmail.

• nlp regular expressions extract -- an implementation using a trained model such as SpaCy to read email text and extract the stock tickers from its syntax.
• potential for automatic forwarding -- set up a table with webhooks, and send requests to table using CRON jobs or when a new email is received.

P.S. be careful with your private keys suchs as credential.json and tokens.json, make sure they don't get uploaded to github by accident ;) happy coding!
