3Verify and query data

Public verification
1. Configure credentials in the private Provider environment.
2. Verify connector status in the internal Studio/Provider console.
3. Use Barfinex public pages to inspect market data.

Operator Provider commands and tokens remain in internal runbooks only.

Important

Robinhood does not provide an official public API — this integration uses an unofficial API client.
Account security: enable two-factor authentication on your Robinhood account; the connector handles MFA challenge prompts during initial authentication.
Robinhood enforces the SEC Pattern Day Trader (PDT) rule: accounts under $25,000 are limited to 3 round-trip day trades per 5 business days.
Crypto is available 24/7; US equities trade 09:30–16:00 ET with limited extended-hours access.
Unofficial API status means Robinhood may change session handling without notice — monitor connector health regularly.
