Alpaca Markets

A work in progress Julia wrapper for the Alpaca Markets API.

Access Alpaca Markets market data API to retrieve stock and crypto market data.

AlpacaMarkets.jl is in the General Registry so you can simply install locally using Pkg.

You need to sign up to AlpacaMarkets to obtain your API keys. Once you've obtained the key and secret you can authenticate manually with

using AlpacaMarkets
AlpacaMarkets.select_account("PAPER")
AlpacaMarkets.auth(KEY, SECRET)

Rather than setting it manually each time I recommend you add it to your .julia/startup.jl or '.julia/config/startup.jl'

ENV["ALPACA_KEY"] = KEY
ENV["ALPACA_SECRET"] = SECRET

This is automatically be picked up by AlpacaMarkets.jl each time you start Julia.

All the historical market data API functions are available:

• stock_bars, stock_bars_latest, stock_quotes and stock_trades
• stock_quotes_latest and stock_trades_latest
• crypto_bars, crypto_quotes and crypto_trades

Plus the interface to their news API

• news

Plus I've added helper functions to obtain data between two periods:

• get_stock_quotes and get_stock_trades
• get_crypto_trades

So you can pull some historical data as and when needed.

Trading API functions are available up to account, orders and positions:

• account, get_orders, place_order, place_market_order
• place_limit_order, place_stop_order, place_stop_limit_order,
• place_trailing_stop_order, place_bracket_order,
• place_oco_order, place_oto_order, replace_an_order,
• cancel_order, cancel_all_orders, get_orders_by_order_id
• get_orders_by_client_order_id, get_open_positions,
• get_position, close_all_positions, close_position
