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"] = SECRETThis 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_tradesstock_quotes_latest and stock_trades_latestcrypto_bars, crypto_quotes and crypto_tradesPlus the interface to their news API
