Electronic trading major Interactive Brokers continues to enhance the TWS API.

The TWS API has been released as open source under the GNU General Public License (GPL), providing developers with greater transparency, flexibility, and opportunities to contribute to the ongoing development of the API.

Also, a new Settlement Type field has been added to Contract Details, allowing users to view settlement information directly within contract data for enhanced transparency and analysis.

Interactive Brokers’ trading oriented API allows you to develop applications in C++, C#, Java, Python, ActiveX, RTD or DDE. Utilize prebuilt libraries to automate features in TWS UI or develop your own interface. Users can consider this if they want to use the client gateway in order to access higher trade volume while using less bandwidth.
