TradeStation Python API?

[Cypherdude]

Hello,
is there a TradeStation Python API available somewhere? I know there's an IB Python API but I haven't found one for TradeStation.

they have a RESTful webAPI... which works well with Python or pretty much any other language

Thanks eusdaiki. I did find that page. However, it didn't mention Python and it doesn't have any Python examples so I wasn't sure if that was what I needed. Are there any Python examples around I can look at?

REST works independently of the language you use, it works sort of like URL web requests...
its not known for its high performance, but it is very flexible.

Check out this tutorial on how to use REST with python:
http://rest.elkstein.org/2008/02/using-rest-in-python.html

once you get the ropes, you can just replace the "url's" from the tutorial with the ones from tradestation's API

I use the Tradier API with python and its very similar.
