Schwab API Setup Guide

Get connected in about 10 minutes

How it works

Triple Gem Trading connects to your brokerage through official Trader APIs. You bring your own API credentials from the Schwab developer portal. Your credentials are encrypted and stored only on your device — never on our servers.

If you already have a Schwab brokerage account, skip to Part 2.

  1. Navigate to the Schwab account opening page.Open
  2. Select Individual Brokerage from the list of options.
  3. Click the "Get started" button and complete the wizard flow to finish creating your first Schwab brokerage account.

Common Questions

Is the Schwab API free?

Yes. The Trader API is free for individual developers. You only need an active brokerage account.

Are my credentials safe?

Yes. Your credentials are encrypted with bank-grade encryption using a passphrase only you know. They never leave your device.

My tokens expired. What do I do?

Access tokens last 30 minutes and auto-refresh. Refresh tokens last 7 days. If both expire, just tap "Re-authenticate" in the API tab.
