What this is
☁️ Cloud broker — runs directly in the container via the official longport SDK (formerly longbridge). Covers US, HK, and A-share markets.
Auth is static key: App Key + App Secret + Access Token. These use the SDK's own env var names so they're picked up automatically.
⚠️ No paper/live discriminator exists in the API. Paper vs live is determined only by which Access Token you loaded — there is no field, account prefix, or host that distinguishes them. So --profile here is trust-declared (echoed back as paper_guard: config_declared); it does not verify anything on the server. Live placement still requires --confirm-live. Treat the token you configure as authoritative for which environment you're in.
Get your credentials
- Open a Longbridge account, then go to the LongPort OpenAPI console (开放平台).
- Apply for / enable OpenAPI access. The console issues three values:
- App Key
- App Secret
- Access Token (has an expiry — regenerate when it lapses)
- For paper trading, generate the token while your account/environment is in the paper/模拟 mode the platform offers; for live, use the live token. (Same three field names either way.)
Configure (.env)
Request via secure input — never paste keys in chat. These are the SDK's standard names:
| Variable | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
LONGPORT_APP_KEY | yes | App Key |
LONGPORT_APP_SECRET | yes | App Secret |
LONGPORT_ACCESS_TOKEN | yes | Access Token (expires — refresh when needed) |
Usage
pip install longport (first run). JSON output. Default profile paper (label only).

Gotchas
- Longbridge has no notional path — always
--qty(shares). - The Access Token expires; if calls start failing auth, regenerate it in the console and update
.env. - Because there's no server-side paper/live check, double-check which token you loaded before any live order — the CLI can't catch a mislabeled environment for you.
