Bubble.io and Robinhood API integration: Step-by-Step Guide 2024

Guide: Integrating Bubble.io with Robinhood API

Please note that this integration might not work due to the fact that Robinhood has not made their API public and their terms and conditions do not allow data scraping. Any attempt to do this is strictly prohibited and can get your account banned. We highly recommend using official APIs that provides documentation and support for your application.

In case you still want to proceed with the suggested integration, here's a step-by-step guide.

1. First of all, sign in to your account at Bubble.io. If you don’t have an account, create one first.

2. Once you're logged in to your account, go to the dashboard, and start a new app by clicking on the 'New App' button.

3. Give your app a name. For example, we could call it "RobHood_Bubble". Next, choose a template to use (you can choose the 'Blank' template for this example). Then, click the 'Create a new app' button.

1. Now that the app has been created, you need to go to your app's editor. Click on the app name (RobHood_Bubble) in your dashboard to do so.

2. Once in the App Editor, click on the 'Plugins' tab on the left-hand side of your screen.

3. In the Plugins page, click 'Add plugins'.

1. In the 'Add a Plugin' page, search for 'API Connector' in the plugin search bar and install it by clicking 'Install'.

2. Now, go back to the 'Plugins' tab, and you should see a section named 'API Connector'. In this section, click the 'Add another API' button.

3. You'll now be creating a new API for RobinHood. Let's name it "RobinHood API" in the 'New API' textbox, and fill up the following values in the respective fields under CALLS:

Call Name: For example, "LogMeInToRH"

Request URL: 'https://api.robinhood.com/api-token-auth/'

Method: POST

Make sure you uncheck the 'Private' checkbox as Robinhood doesn’t require API keys in headers for authentication.

1. After that, scroll down until you see the 'Body Type' dropdown. Choose 'json' from the options.

2. In the 'Body' section, input the following text:
   {
   "username": "your Robinhood username",
   "password": "your Robinhood password"
   }
   Replace "your Robinhood username" and "your Robinhood password" with your actual username and password.

3. Scroll up and click the 'Initialize this Call' button. If everything is configured correctly, you should now see the Robinhood API's response below the header 'Response from Robinhood API'.

1. Now, go to the 'Data' tab. Under 'App data', click on the 'API' section to see the application’s API workflows.

2. To add an API endpoint, click the 'Expose an API' button.

3. Insert the endpoint name for the Robinhood method that you wish to use. Toggle on the 'This endpoint can be run without authentication' checkbox.

1. Save the settings of the API Connector Plugin. Then upload the plugin to your application.

Remember to be very careful, as any minor mistake in implementing these steps might lead to your account being flagged or banned by Robinhood.
