      The Interactive Brokers Web API is a RESTful API that provides
      programmatic access to IBKR trading, portfolio management, market data,
      and account information. The API consolidates the Client Portal Web API,
      Digital Account Management, and Flex Web Service into a unified
      interface. It supports OAuth 2.0 authentication and provides endpoints
      for order placement, portfolio monitoring, real-time and historical
      market data, and account management across global markets.

    description: >-
      The Interactive Brokers Client Portal API is a REST API accessed through
      a locally running Java gateway that routes authenticated requests to
      IBKR systems. It provides a lightweight interface for trading, viewing
      portfolio information, accessing market data, and managing
      authentication. The API uses a two-tiered session structure with
      read-only and brokerage session levels.
