webull: place_order returns 405 error

Here’s my code,

from webull import webull
wb._access_token = "XX"
print(wb.place_order("NVOS", action="BUY", quant=1))

it throws this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\requests\models.py", line 971, in json
    return complexjson.loads(self.text, **kwargs)

    raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "d:\webull_handler.py", line 16, in <module>
    p = wb.place_order("NVOS", action="BUY", quant=1)

    raise RequestsJSONDecodeError(e.msg, e.doc, e.pos)
requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

is there any fix to this?

this is the way to update your accesstoken

fh = open('webull_credentials.json', 'r')
credential_data = json.load(fh)
fh.close()

wb._refresh_token = credential_data['refreshToken']
wb._access_token = credential_data['accessToken']
wb._token_expire = credential_data['tokenExpireTime']
wb._uuid = credential_data['uuid']

n_data = wb.refresh_login()

credential_data['refreshToken'] = n_data['refreshToken']
credential_data['accessToken'] = n_data['accessToken']
credential_data['tokenExpireTime'] = n_data['tokenExpireTime']

file = open('webull_credentials.json', 'w')
json.dump(credential_data, file)
file.close()

# important to get the account_id
wb.get_account_id()

Thank you for the help. @ICANTFINDAUSERNAMEATALL it meant a lot to me!

I wrote a quick summary of the new workaround. lmk if anything is confusing.

Don’t do any of this:
wb._did = "XX"
wb._access_token = "XX"
When you run the login function, it will automatically generate the access token for you instead of using an old one. Just set the did and login.

As you said, here is my code,

from webull import webull
from credentials import WEBULL_USERNAME, WEBULL_PASSWORD

wb = webull()

wb._set_did(
    "XX"
)  
wb.login(WEBULL_USERNAME, WEBULL_PASSWORD, "webull api")
wb.get_trade_token("XX")

q = wb.get_account()
print(q)
p = wb.place_order("UNCY", action="BUY", quant=1, orderType="MKT")
print(p)

Session is expiring somehow, here is the error

{'msg': 'Your session has expired, please login again.', 'traceId': 'XX', 'code': 'trade.token.expire', 'data': {'lock': xx, 'retry': -2}, 'success': False}
