Not 100% sure this is the right place to post this, but I'm wondering if python is applicable to this situation. I dabble in Algo Trading, and want to modify my bots so they work on Schwab. I wrote my current scripts in Python and used the TD Ameritrade API for both data and placing trades. This has been working fine, but I need the bots to operate on Schwab, where I have an account recognized as a pattern day trader (I only get 3 day trades a week at TD) and the bots will be able to trade away. However Schwab does not have an API that is available to the public, pretty much putting my project dead in the water, as I have no way to place the trades automatically.

This is pretty much where my understanding of Python ends, so sorry if my requests seem like pure fantasy.

1. Is there a way to modify the code so the Python program is able directly access the desktop software for Schwab (street smart edge), and make trades through the desktop program.

or

1. Could I write a second script that allows my bots to be able to trade on the Schwab platform through the web some way?

Hopefully someone finds this interesting, I could use any help or recommendations.
