error setting up the credentials file

[adikira]

I tried to set it up and the auth workflow fails for me. The credentials2.json file does not exist and is not created. I was able to get the access_token and the refresh_token manually. Alternatively, can somebody provide a format for the credentials_path file to set it up manually? Any help would be appreciated.

Same problem. Perhaps the ameritrade API changed?

I have been getting this error message whenever I tried to run the setup.py. The issue stems from the setup() function Any suggestions?
