Implements cryptocurrency trading support via Robinhood's official Crypto Trading API as a separate service from the existing stock/options trading infrastructure, reusing existing ForexHolding and ForexQuote models.

Architecture

New Service: RobinhoodCryptoService

  • Dedicated service using the official Robinhood Crypto Trading API endpoint (https://trading.robinhood.com)
  • Implements IBrokerageService interface for seamless integration with Link Brokerage functionality
  • Separate from RobinhoodService for clear domain separation
  • Uses API key-based authentication as documented at https://docs.robinhood.com/crypto/trading/#section/Authentication
  • Reuses existing ForexHolding and ForexQuote models for crypto positions and quotes

Brokerage Integration:

  • Added BrokerageSource.robinhoodCrypto enum value
  • Updated BrokerageUser model to support crypto service instantiation
  • Added apiKey field to BrokerageUser for API key persistence
  • Integrated into login widget with "RH Crypto" option in the carousel
  • Fully compatible with existing brokerage linking infrastructure

Authentication

API Key-Based Authentication:

  • Users provide a Robinhood Crypto API key via the login widget
  • API key is stored in the BrokerageUser.apiKey field and persisted across sessions
  • All API requests use Authorization: Api-Key YOUR_API_KEY header as per official documentation
  • No OAuth2 flow required for crypto service

Data Models

Reused Models:

  • ForexHolding - Used for crypto positions with cost basis tracking and calculated returns
  • ForexQuote - Used for real-time crypto market data with bid/ask spreads, 24h high/low, volume
  • ForexHistoricals - Used for historical crypto price data with 24/7 bounds support

No new models or stores were created - the implementation leverages existing forex infrastructure for crypto data.

Implemented Methods

The service implements only crypto-relevant methods from IBrokerageService:

// Portfolio retrieval with auto-enriched quotes
final holdings = await cryptoService.getNummusHoldings(user, store, nonzero: true);

// Real-time quotes (single or batch)
final quote = await cryptoService.getForexQuote(user, currencyPairId);
final quotes = await cryptoService.getForexQuoteByIds(user, [id1, id2]);

// Historical data
final historicals = await cryptoService.getForexHistoricals(user, id,
  chartBoundsFilter: Bounds.t24_7,
  chartDateSpanFilter: ChartDateSpan.day);

All non-crypto methods (stocks, options, fundamentals, etc.) throw UnimplementedError with helpful messages directing users to use RobinhoodService for those features.

Login Widget Integration

  • Added "RH Crypto" as a 5th option in the login carousel
  • Dedicated API key input field for Robinhood Crypto authentication
  • Helpful text with link to API key generation page
  • Users can select Robinhood Crypto as a dedicated brokerage source
  • API key is securely stored (obscured in UI) and persisted with BrokerageUser

Implementation Details

  • Uses trading.robinhood.com endpoint for holdings, orders, and wallet operations
  • Uses api.robinhood.com/marketdata endpoint for quotes and historical data
  • Implements batch processing (25 items/chunk) to respect API rate limits
  • Automatic quote enrichment on holdings retrieval
  • Firestore persistence using existing forex collection methods
  • API key validation ensures requests include required authentication header

@copilot The implementation should use the endpoint https://trading.robinhood.com as defined in the documentation at https://docs.robinhood.com/crypto/trading/
Consider the authentication.
Finally, it should integrate with the Link Brokerage functionality.

Updated the implementation to address all three points:

  1. Official Endpoint: Changed from nummus.robinhood.com to https://trading.robinhood.com as specified in the documentation at https://docs.robinhood.com/crypto/trading/

  2. Authentication: Implemented IBrokerageService interface with OAuth2 authentication using the same BrokerageUser pattern as other services. The service uses the shared clientId and authEndpoint/tokenEndpoint for unified Robinhood authentication.

  3. Link Brokerage Integration: Added BrokerageSource.robinhoodCrypto enum value and updated BrokerageUser.fromJsonArray() to instantiate RobinhoodCryptoService when the source matches. This enables the crypto service to work seamlessly with the existing brokerage linking infrastructure.

All endpoint references throughout the service now use the correct $endpoint variable pointing to trading.robinhood.com.

@copilot this is all wrong. Undo everything and start from scratch.

  1. Implement a new IBrokerageService from https://docs.robinhood.com/crypto/trading/ with existing models.
  2. Wire up this new service in the login widget.

Reverted the previous implementation and started fresh:

  1. New IBrokerageService Implementation: Created RobinhoodCryptoService that implements IBrokerageService using the official https://trading.robinhood.com endpoint as specified in https://docs.robinhood.com/crypto/trading/

  2. Uses Existing Models: Now reuses ForexHolding and ForexQuote models for crypto positions and quotes instead of creating new crypto-specific models.

  3. Login Widget Integration: Added "RH Crypto" option to the login carousel (5th chip). Users can now select Robinhood Crypto as a brokerage source and login using the same OAuth2 flow as regular Robinhood.

The service implements the three crypto-specific methods:

  • getNummusHoldings() - Fetches crypto holdings
  • getForexQuote() / getForexQuoteByIds() - Gets real-time crypto quotes
  • getForexHistoricals() - Retrieves historical price data

All other methods throw UnimplementedError with helpful messages since this service is crypto-only.

Implemented API key-based authentication as documented at https://docs.robinhood.com/crypto/trading/#section/Authentication:

  1. Added apiKey field to BrokerageUser: The API key is now stored with the user and persisted via the toJson()/fromJson() methods.

  2. Updated RobinhoodCryptoService: Removed OAuth2 login flow and replaced with API key authentication. All API requests now use the Authorization: Api-Key YOUR_API_KEY header as specified in the documentation.

  3. Updated Login Widget: Added a dedicated API key input field for Robinhood Crypto with a link to the API key generation page. When users select "RH Crypto", they enter their API key instead of username/password.

  4. Authentication Flow: Upon login, the API key is stored in the BrokerageUser object and automatically used for all subsequent API calls. The key persists across app sessions.

The implementation follows the official Robinhood Crypto API authentication pattern where the API key is passed in request headers rather than using OAuth2.

Have concerns about how each user needs to generate key pair, configure the robinhood web site to get an api key and upload both to the app.
