Is there a wrapper for the Interactive Brokers Java API on linux? Their documentation does not look very good.

Answer 1

Write your own wrapper for it.

Answer 2

Interactive Brokers do say they support their Java API on Unix (which I assume includes Linux). See http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/p.php?f=programInterface

Also, the see the documentation at http://www.interactivebrokers.com/php/apiUsersGuide/apiguide.htm (click on Java in the left-hand frame).

If there's something specific you're having difficulty with, you might get better responses if you describe the exact problem you're having.

Answer 3

I've used the IB Java API on Linux. The best "documentation" at the time was the source code for their demo app. Looking at an old version I still have laying around (9.63), the demo client is in jtsclient.jar. I don't use IB any more, so no idea if that's still what it's called, if it's a separate download, etc.

I also had some success using the Java API directly from jython.

But the thing that worked best for me was to use the IBpy library, which completely wraps the Java API with python. Much nicer to deal with. I don't know if it's still compatible with the current IB API -- I see there hasn't been a release for while. http://code.google.com/p/ibpy/
