Get a new Access Token using a valid Refresh Token
td_auth_accessToken(consumerKey, refreshToken)TD generated Consumer key for the registered TD app. Essentially an API key.
An existing Refresh Token generated using
td_auth_refreshToken
Access Token that is valid for 30 minutes. By default it is stored in options.
An Access Token is required for the functions within rameritrade. It serves
as a user login to a TD Brokerage account. The token is valid for 30 minutes
and allows the user to place trades, get account information, get order
history, pull historical stock prices, etc. A Refresh Token is required to
generate an Access Token. td_auth_refreshToken can be used to
generate Refresh Tokens which stay valid for 90 days. The Consumer Key is
generated automatically when an App is registered on the
TD Ameritrade Developer site. By
default, the Access Token is stored into options and will automatically be
passed to downstream functions. However, the user can also submit an Access
Token manually if multiple tokens are in use (for example: when managing more
than one log in.)
When running this function manually (i.e. through RStudio), the function will check for a default Access Token. If the default Access Token has not expired, the user will be prompted to verify a new Access Token is desired. This may be the case if more than one TD login is being used. When running this function in a non-interactive environment (i.e. CRON Job), the default behavior will be to refresh the Access Token.
