    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.
