Automate webhook alerts to Robinhood
Nyria lets you auto trade each webhook alert in your Robinhood account.


Setup steps
Have your script or service POST its alert to a Nyria strategy's webhook URL. Then connect your Robinhood account in Nyria with your Robinhood login, an unofficial connection in beta. Each alert becomes an order in your own Robinhood account. Nyria connects live Robinhood accounts only, so test it free on Nyria Paper first.
- 1Connect Robinhood. Select Integrations, then the Robinhood card. Enter the username and password you use in the Robinhood app. Approve the request in the Robinhood app, or enter the 6-digit code Robinhood sends you.
- 2Create a strategy. In Nyria, select Create strategy and pick Webhook as the alert source. Choose stocks or options as the asset type. Set what an entry and an exit do on each side.
- 3Point your service at the URL. Copy the webhook URL from the strategy's Integration tab. Send an HTTPS POST from a script, a cron job or a no-code tool. Zapier and Make, for example. The token is the only authentication, so keep the URL private. Rotate token replaces it.
- 4Send a test alert. Post a body such as {"ticker": "AAPL", "action": "buy"} with curl. Nyria answers 200 OK and the alert shows on the Logs tab. Bots on the strategy act on it. Test while only a paper bot is deployed.
- 5Deploy a bot. On the strategy, select Deploy bot. Pick the Robinhood account on the Account step and set a Budget per entry. Live bots need a Nyria Pro plan or a Premium strategy you have bought. The next alert becomes an order.
What a webhook alert must say
Nyria needs the ticker, the side, and whether it opens or closes a position. It reads plain text or JSON in your own wording. There is no template to follow. For options, Provided in alert reads the strike, expiry and call or put. From my rules picks the contract.
A webhook POSTs JSON or text. The smallest JSON body has two fields, ticker and action. A plain-text body such as AAPL long entry works too. The token in the URL is the only authentication. There is no Authorization header to set.
An alert cannot set the size: each bot's budget per entry does. Exits come from your exit alerts.
A stock entry
{ "ticker": "NVDA", "action": "buy" }Buy NVDA. The alert carries no size. Each bot sizes it from its budget per entry.
An exit
{ "ticker": "NVDA", "action": "sell" }Close the NVDA position, matched against what the bot is holding.
What Robinhood does with it
Nyria's Robinhood connection is unofficial. It signs in with your Robinhood login. The password is used once and discarded, and the tokens Robinhood issues are stored encrypted at rest. If Robinhood ends the session, Nyria asks for a new sign-in. Unofficial connection. Nyria isn't affiliated with Robinhood.
Options go to Robinhood as single legs or spreads up to 4 legs in one order. Options trading must be turned on in the Robinhood account.
A crypto alert places no order on this connection. Use Alpaca or Nyria Paper for crypto.
Each alert becomes a market or a limit order, as the strategy sets it. Nyria sends a market order to Robinhood as a limit order priced from the live quote. Nothing waits at Robinhood between alerts. The exit comes from your alert.
