Quant Trading - Python (need help)

Hi, I am doing my 3rd year of B.Sc. computer science with mathematics so I do have some knowledge on python, R, Java, C and I have done linear algebra, linear statistical models, stochastic models in finance.

So I've been doing some algorithmic trading before with Amibroker, i read a few strategy books and I wouldn't say I know a lot, but I kind of understand the topic a bit better now. However, I am trying to find a way to develop trading bots by myself and connect them into brokers (i.e. Interactive Brokers) via API keys and python, but I can't seem to find libraries with which to make the orders (I am trying to avoid quantopian) and I can't find how people connect the market historical data into python either.

So I mainly need help with the technical part of creating such a bot.
