Free P2P APIs via GitHub

[rppatel79]

Hi All,
Over the last 7+ years, I have used Lending Club and/or Prosper.  Initially, I intuitively invested in loans hoping for good return.  After some mild success (about ~9% ROI), I wanted to formalize my strategy.  This became particularly important as my P2P accounts became a large component of my overall wealth.  So, I downloaded Lending Club's historical notes, data mined the population, and confirmed my original strategy was effective (or more accurately, I confirmed my strategy was effective).  I then built filters (within Lending Club and Prosper) that found active notes that met criterion of my strategy.  For the next year, I periodically logged into Lending Club and Prosper executed a filter and invested in notes.  There were two problems with this approach:
1.  I saw myself choosing not to invest in loans because of loan characteristics.  This intuitive judgement hurt my ROI.
2.  This was a very time consuming processes.  I spend almost an 1 hour per day using P2P sites.

So, as Lending Club and Prosper built APIs, I build technology to leverage them!  And recently, I have put the code on GitHub as a public project.
https://github.com/rppatel79/p2p" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">https://github.com/rppatel79/p2p

The code will:
1.  Periodically log into Lending Club and/or Prosper
2.  Database all the loans that were issued since the last execution
3.  Find all the loans that met the criterion of a strategy
4.  Purchase those loans
The code is authored in Java and each 'strategy' written in Javascript.  The strategies are intended to be simple to write/extend.

Although not require, I have deployed the code in Amazon Web Services.

Feel free to check out the GitHub repository, ask questions, and/or make suggests.

Thanks!  Just Star'd and Watch'ing it.

I've done a bunch of API work in Python, but it's not bundled up yet into something consumable.

Hi DVD,
Thank you for your interest.

The strategies are written in JavaScript, so it sounds like you should be up-and-running quickly!

I would encourage you to private message me any questions/concerns.  I will happily provide you guidance.

My project provides a single view into Lending Club and Prosper.  Does anyone know of other P2P platforms with accessible APIs?
