Hey everyone, I was wondering how would I start programming an interface to trading stocks in Etrade in python. I am attempting to make an automated trading bot, but there is no api publicly available for automated trading with Etrade. Thanks in advance. ^^

You can also set up automatic investing plans on your own. One way is to use a robo-advisor with your brokerage firm to automate rebalancing and maintain your planned asset allocation without much effort.
Build your own trading app, flexibly analyze real time market data, and more— the E*TRADE API makes it easy to build innovative applications. Getting started is easy with our step-by-step guide.
Many brokerage accounts will allow you to set up an automatic investment plan. One of the best ways to automate your investments is through a low-cost index fund that tracks a stock market index like the S&P 500.
For E-trade I could only find this: http://code.google.com/p/pyetrade/ . It uses urllib2 to access the site like a user would. But because of lack of an official API there is no guarantee that anything will keep working.
Interactive Brokers has an extensive API for automatic trading, also from Python. I can confirm that one works.

As mentioned by "What online brokers offer APIs", etrade has an api now.
