TradingView Automation - Credential Usage

Overview

You now have two ways to provide TradingView credentials:

Method 1: Environment Variables (.env file) - Like the original

# In your .env file
TRADINGVIEW_EMAIL=your-email@example.com
TRADINGVIEW_PASSWORD=your-password

Method 2: API Parameters - More flexible

{
  "symbol": "SOLUSD",
  "timeframe": "5",
  "credentials": {
    "email": "your-email@example.com", 
    "password": "your-password"
  }
}

Usage Examples

1. Using .env credentials (like original tradingview.ts)

# Set in .env file first
echo "TRADINGVIEW_EMAIL=your-email@example.com" >> .env
echo "TRADINGVIEW_PASSWORD=your-password" >> .env

# Then call API without credentials
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/trading/automated-analysis \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "symbol": "SOLUSD",
    "timeframe": "5"
  }'

2. Using API parameters (more secure for multi-user)

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/trading/automated-analysis \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "symbol": "SOLUSD",
    "timeframe": "5",
    "credentials": {
      "email": "user1@example.com",
      "password": "password1"
    }
  }'

3. Programmatic usage

import { enhancedScreenshotService } from './lib/enhanced-screenshot'

// Method 1: Using .env (no credentials needed)
const screenshots1 = await enhancedScreenshotService.captureWithLogin({
  symbol: 'SOLUSD',
  timeframe: '5'
  // credentials will be read from .env automatically
})

// Method 2: Explicit credentials
const screenshots2 = await enhancedScreenshotService.captureWithLogin({
  symbol: 'SOLUSD', 
  timeframe: '5',
  credentials: {
    email: 'user@example.com',
    password: 'password'
  }
})

Key Differences from Original

Feature tradingview.ts (Original) tradingview-automation.ts (New)
Framework Puppeteer Playwright
Credentials Only .env .env OR parameters
Usage Complex layouts Simple AI analysis
Video Recording Yes No
Code Size 777 lines ~400 lines
Docker Optimized Yes Yes
Debug Screenshots Extensive Basic

Priority Order for Credentials

  1. API parameters (if provided)
  2. Environment variables (.env file)
  3. Error if neither is available

Security Considerations

  • Environment variables: Good for single-user setups
  • API parameters: Better for multi-user applications
  • Never commit credentials to git repositories
  • Use .env.local for local development

Migration from Original

If you're currently using the original tradingview.ts:

  1. Keep using .env: No changes needed, just call the new API
  2. Switch to parameters: More flexible, supports multiple users
  3. Hybrid approach: Use .env as fallback, parameters for specific users
