Watchlists¶

To use watchlists you’ll need a production session:

from tastytrade import Session
session = Session(user, password)

Let’s fetch an existing watchlist:

from tastytrade.watchlist import PrivateWatchlist
watchlist = await PrivateWatchlist.get(session, 'MyWatchlist')
print(watchlist.watchlist_entries)

>>> [{'symbol': 'AAPL', 'instrument-type': 'Equity'}, {'symbol': 'MSFT', 'instrument-type': 'Equity'}]

To add a symbol to the watchlist:

from tastytrade.instruments import InstrumentType
watchlist.add_symbol('SPY', InstrumentType.EQUITY)

In this case, the symbol is present locally, but not remotely, so we need to update the remote list:

await watchlist.update(session)

We can also create a new watchlist from scratch, then publish it to the Tastytrade server:

new_watchlist = PrivateWatchlist(name='NewWatchlist')
new_watchlist.add_symbol('USO', InstrumentType.EQUITY)
await new_watchlist.upload(session)

You can also fetch public watchlists:

from tastytrade.watchlist import PublicWatchlist
public_watchlist = await PublicWatchlist.get(session, "Tom's Watchlist")
print(public_watchlist.watchlist_entries)
