Hi RR,
IBridgePy and TWS API both allow you to trade with Interactive Brokers, but they differ in complexity and usage. TWS API is the official, low-level API provided by IB, giving you full control but requiring more work — you handle events, data subscriptions, and order tracking manually. It’s powerful but has a steep learning curve. IBridgePy, on the other hand, is an unofficial Python wrapper that simplifies everything. It abstracts away the event handling and provides a user-friendly.
