Configuration

ClawBack reads secrets from environment variables or config/secrets.json:

{
  "BROKER_API_KEY": "your-broker-api-key",
  "BROKER_API_SECRET": "your-broker-api-secret",
  "BROKER_ACCOUNT_ID": "your-account-id",
  "TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN": "optional-for-notifications",

Supported Brokers

ClawBack uses an adapter pattern for broker integration. Each broker implements a common interface defined in broker_adapter.py.

| Broker | Adapter | Status | |--------|---------|--------| | E*TRADE | etrade_adapter.py | Supported | | Schwab | schwab_adapter.py | Planned | | Fidelity | fidelity_adapter.py | Planned |

To specify which broker to use, set broker.adapter in your config:

{
  "broker": {
    "adapter": "etrade",
    "credentials": {
      "apiKey": "${BROKER_API_KEY}",
      "apiSecret": "${BROKER_API_SECRET}"
    }
  }
}

Data Sources

All data is scraped directly from official government sources:

| Source | Data | Method | |--------|------|--------| | House Clerk | House PTR filings | PDF parsing | | Senate eFD | Senate PTR filings | Selenium scraping |

No third-party APIs required for congressional data.
