Step 2 of ETRADE authentication. Use the output from
etrd_auth_credentials to generate Request Tokens and a login
URL
etrd_auth_login_url(etrade_cred = NULL, sandbox = FALSE, auto_open = TRUE)The output created from
etrd_auth_credentials when a valid ETRADE key and secret have
been passed. This entry is not required because the output is saved and
retrieved from R options automatically.
ETRADE offers a sandbox environment for validating API calls and responses. If using the sandbox environment, this must be set to TRUE in each function called throughout etrader. ETRADE states "Sandbox responses use stored data that's intended to provide typical responses for basic use cases. So the responses you receive will not contain current data, and may not exactly match your requests in other ways." Essentially, the responses will not match the requests entered but successful pull will indicate whether the entry was valid or not.
indicate whether the browser should open automatically to the login URL
a list of three items: a login URL valid for 5 minutes and two request tokens, a key and secret
Authentication into the ETRADE environment requires a three step process: set
ETRADE credentials, generate request tokens to create a login URL, and use
the verification code to create access tokens. The output from
etrd_auth_credentials needs to be fed into this function to
create the URL.
Once the URL is generated it will pop up automatically. Log into the page. If
the redirect is to a normal ETRADE landing page, re-paste the URL into the
browser. The page header should read: Indicate Terms Agreement. Press
"Accept" to generate a 5 digit alpha-numeric Verification Code. The
Verification Code will feed into etrd_auth_access_token to
generate Access Tokens and complete the authorization process.
