NodeJS Framework to make trades with the private Robinhood API. Using this API is not encouraged, since it's not officially available and it has been reverse engineered. See this blog post for more information on the API.

I have read Robinhood's Terms and Conditions and, without being a lawyer and/or this being valid in any way, it doesn't seem like interacting with their servers using the API is against them.

This framework was inspired by a deprecated Python framework originally developed by @Rohanpai.

Features

This framework is still in a very alpha version and will likely change, so production usage is completely discouraged.

Even though this should be obvious: I am not affiliated in any way with Robinhood Financial LLC. I don't mean any harm or disruption in their service by providing this. Furthermore, I believe they are working on an amazing product, and hope that by publishing this NodeJS framework their users can benefit in even more ways from working with them.
