#Performing initial Authentication
sampleRequest = AutosharesAPIRequest()
sampleRequest.simpleAuth()


order = {
  "Symbol": "AAPL",
  "Type": "Market",
  "Side": "Buy",
  "Quantity": 100
}

#placing a new order; the trading account mi
orderID = sampleRequest.placeOrder(order, 6303) 

#Retrieving the status of the new order
responseMessage = sampleRequest.getOrderStatus(6303, orderID)
print(responseMessage)

In this example we perform authentication, place a new order, and then check the new order's status to see if it's active, under review, rejected, etc.

If the authorization token provided in the request header was generated using an administrator's credentials, the order can be placed on behalf of any user in the company.
