API: feature requests for stock trading

💡 Feature suggestions & ideas

I would like to buy and sell stocks with the API and I found some missing API calls. It would be awesome, if those were added.

  1. Session-Info: viewed stock
    when opening the trading view, I can have one or more stocks as diagrams. but one ist the selected/focused stock. when I want to buy/sell this exact stock, I have to make some kind of search with the name or shortName. To reduce the necessary actions (=seconds) it would be great to get the current selected stock in trade view as the stock.ticker in the API.

  2. sell with current price
    As far as Ive seen it, its only possible to sell a stock with a targeted price. In the web frontend, I can just select “sell with current price”. Because you can buy with the current price via the api, selling it likewise would be awesome.

  3. get current price
    Maybe Im just a bit blind, but I cant find a way to get the current price of a stock by its ticker. I would have to use some third party api, which (in my experience) has a different current price.

(if we would have shortkeys, i wouldn’t try to use it to buy and sell, but nevermind)

If some of my points are not understandable or a bit jibberish, please let me know. I could describe it more in detail, but in my experience devs dont really like to get the solution for a problem :slight_smile:

oh and naturally i want to buy stocks in live mode too. but i guess its just a matter of time.
